Drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán may not have had any idea who Sean Penn was before agreeing to meet with him in the jungle, but he definitely knew all about Penn’s companion, Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, a beautiful tequila spokesperson he wanted to bring home to his mother.

Back in October, Sean Penn landed a blockbuster interview with Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, but new texts released by a Mexican newspaper show that to the drug kingpin the actor might as well have been Seann William Scott.

According to government surveillance photos obtained by Mexico’s El Universal, law enforcement was tracking Sean Penn’s moves from the moment he stepped off the airplane for his notorious meeting with the country’s most wanted man.
