Hunter Biden was spotted meeting with Sean Penn at an exclusive members-only club in California this week, RadarOnline.com has learned.
President Joe Biden’s embattled son and the Dead Man Walking star were reportedly spotted together outside Malibu’s swanky SoHo House on Thursday evening after previously visiting each other at their respective SoCal homes.
Hunter and Penn were spotted together outside Malibu’s SoHo House on Thursday evening.
According to photos obtained by the New York Post, Penn, 63, was seen stepping out of his car with a cigarette between his lips shortly before meeting Hunter, 54, on the terrace of the $10k per year club.
The surprising meeting between the embattled first son and the Oscar-winning actor came months after Hunter’s “sugar brother” and friend, Kevin Morris, announced the development of a documentary about President Biden’s son.
Morris confirmed in January that the still-untitled documentary would focus on Hunter’s various legal woes as well as Hunter’s “painting, selling his art, raising his son, and navigating everyday life as a sober adult.”
It is unclear if Penn is involved in the upcoming Hunter documentary or whether or not the pair’s meeting at the exclusive SoHo House on Thursday was in connection to the project.

Meanwhile, Thursday would not be the first time that Hunter and the Mystic River actor were spotted rubbing elbows.

“Guys – great hearing on Haiti today – I sat next to Sean Penn,” Hunter’s then-business partner, Eric Schwerin, wrote in May 2010. “Kaufman asked point blank questions about clean water and the answers were somewhat predictable.”
Hunter and Penn reportedly connected once again in October 2010 regarding the situation in Haiti.
