Falklands hero Simon Weston: 'Sean Penn's an idiot and a fool'

Falklands hero Simon Weston yesterday branded Sean Penn an 'idiot' and a 'fool' over his comments about Britain's ownership of the islands.

Former Welsh Guardsman Weston, 50, hit back at the Hollywood actor's criticism of Prince William's deployment to the Falklands.

The father-of-three, who was terribly injured in an Argentine bomb attack that killed 48 people in 1982, said: 'Sean Penn is living, breathing proof that just because you are famous doesn't mean you know what you are talking about.

He told The Sun: 'Penn is an idiot. It's bad for people to think you're a fool. You don't need to open your mouth to prove it. By opening his mouth on this, Sean Penn proves he is a fool.'

The attack by Penn was the second time in two days he has criticised the UK's involvement in the islands.



Weston received terrible burn injuries after an Argentinian air attack on HMS Sir Galahad, shown in pic 4.

  • What this arsehole doesnt mention is the small fact that Argentinians got democracy only after they'd been roundly beaten in the Falklands.

    A typical bleedng heart liberal, who only has time for his side of the story

  • This whole thing is stupid. The Falklands do not belong to Argentina, neither does it belong to Britain, think of them as being independent who want the protection of Britain.

    The day they chose otherwise is the day talking should be done, otherwise let sleeping dogs lie.

    So true.
    When not acting or performing, celebrities should keep their mouths shut in public and only open them in private to ingurgitate booze and drugs.

  • Actually I get it now...he only has the stance towards the Island because the south Americans wined and dined him. People talk all sorts of shit on a full stomach.

  • Comment of user 'Documentary2011' has been deleted by author!

  • He's a liberal, left wing, pompous 'actor' therefore his opinion is utterly irrelevant

  • It is amusing to hear people of Spanish descent who committed genocide on the South American Continent and eradicated all cultural heritage there before permanently occupying the place, spout bullshit about rights to a free British territory in the South Atlantic.

    I met one of these Spanish invaders who think they are from South America in a bar in San Diego once. He saw I was British and proceeded to tell me how evil England was and all it had done all over the world citing silly examples. I l More..

  • He is a nobody. No doubt just trying to make everyone look at him. So how is he going to get argentina to get the islanders off the island, because they voted to stay British 4 years ago...you going to do it by force? sorry but you lost the case 4 years ago...but still he didn't look that up before he set his stance. fool.
