Don’t mellow my harsh, dude.
I hurried past Penn’s three surfboards and silver Airstream in the front yard, half expecting to see the un-pacific denizen of the Pacific Coast wrestling on the floor with the photographer.
Penn, in dark T-shirt, Columbia utility pants and sneakers, was charming, trailed by his adoring dogs, a golden retriever and a German shepherd rescue puppy.
When I joked that I was relieved to see him treating the photographer sweetly, he laughed.
“When I did my 23andMe,” he said, “I thought I might be part Hopi because they don’t like to be photographed.”
