Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson Getting Serious?

By Rob Shuter Posted Mar 4th 2011 01:20PM

Scarlett Johansson is telling friends that she's head over heels again after a short-but-romantic vacation getaway to Mexico with Sean Penn. "She thinks Sean is amazing. Sure, he's an incredible actor, but there's depth. He's an amazing human being who cares about politics and the world," a friend of the young actress tells me.

The pair were spotted dining together in Cabo San Lucas three evenings ago and have since returned to Los Angeles via private plane for Scarlett to start filming her new movie with Matt Damon.

"If she didn't have to return to work she would still be with him," an insider tells me. "She doesn't care about the age difference." -- He's 50, she's 26 -- "In fact that's what makes him so attractive."

Sources tell me that after being married a few years to someone "as childish as Ryan," it's nice to be with someone mature. OUCH! We'll let that one sit for a second.

The pair were first spotted together four weeks ago at a party in LA celebrating 'Black Swan.' They were even seen eating together in public with her legs draped over his lap.

Both camps are staying mum on the budding courtship, but there are fresh reports that "S-Squared" are planning a trip to Haiti in the spring. In fact, his passion for humanitarian causes is part of the reason she was attracted to him in the first place.

"He's exactly the kind of guy she wants," the friend tells me. "She talks to him every day and can't wait until she has a break in film so she can run away with him."

We know there are plenty of you that wish they'd just disappear the next time they run off, but I'm hoping to see more of these two!

Hope she takes some shooting lessons and carries a gun. Sadly women and children in Haiti are getting raped daily and not safe there.

My fantasy of Scarlett has been ruined. The thought of her and Penn is like licking a park bench.

By Randy

How disgusting is that? As an aside, Sean Penn should probably be hung for treason!

Both of them need a new hairdresser! Lord have mercy on the bed heads! Making that kind of money and walking out looking like they just woke up. Not a good look for either of them. Maybe they did!

Lucky Sean. Good for him. And I'm jealous as hell because I wanted her, but like all the other losers who post on here I have no delliusons that I have a chance in hell. Sean is a better man than anyone posting here and deserves some happiness.

I am now totally convinced that Scarlett Johanson has noting between her ears. This guy is a dope. He is in the business because of mommy...could never have done it on his own.

What a shame this whole thing is pitiful. She'll have to get used to Sean's-hero-in-his-own-mind-in-another-country-with-the cameras rolling - showing how humanitarian he is.

By anonymous

Looking a bit bizarre there Sean.
Looks like you're channeling Professor Irwin Corey !!!
And Scarlett....Sean Penn, really.....what are you smoking?

By lilly

hey, ambition is the name of the game. disappointingly obvious the grand attraction. mutually gratifying all ego needs.

By Mr Boogee

Can somebody please tell me who Scarlett Johansson is and what she does?

By Normana

Hey all you nay sayers, Scarlett is a adult so what if she is dating a older man? How many of you have dated older people.
Get a life and stop judging others.
