Long-time smoker Sean Penn was apparently unable to get through the Golden Globes without his nicotine fix.
Vanity Fair reports that Penn was spotted lighting a cigarette at his table inside the theater the show was being held at.
'Several guests have been looking for a spot to smoke outside the theater. But one director told me he saw just light up inside the theater, right at his table,' the outlet reported.
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Penn for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Penn, 65, hasn't let four walls stop him from lighting up in the past.
The actor puffed away during a 2018 interview on Late Show with Stephen Colbert and also chain-smoked while speaking at a press conference at the 2024 Marrakech International Film Festival.
Sean Penn laughed off a joke Nikki Glaser made about him looking like a 'sexy leather handbag' in her opening monologue for the 2026 Golden Globes
Perhaps the cigarette helped him unwind after he underwent a good roasting by host Nikki Glaser during her opening monologue.
The actor first came into Glaser's crosshairs when she brought up his appearance, branding him a 'sexy leather handbag' who has been forgoing Hollywood's obsession with appearing younger.
'[Penn] are such an original. Everyone in this town is obsessed with looking younger. Meanwhile, Sean Penn is like, "What if I slowly morph into a sexy leather handbag?"' Glaser said.
As the audience erupted in laughter, Glaser reassured the Oscar-winning actor that the look he has going on is 'hot' and 'good.'
While the joke may have ruffled the feathers of someone with thinner skin, Penn's face lit up as he laughed along with the crowd.
The actor was also tickled when Glaser shifted the topic to his humanitarian work in conflict zones Russia, Venezuela, and Cube - joking he goes to these destinations to 'do cocaine.'
'I feel like a lot of actors talk the talk, but Sean Penn will actually go to the places in the world that need help the most, and he will do cocaine there,' she said.
'And I feel like we don't celebrate that enough.'
Penn closed his eyes as he chuckled along to the crack.

Glaser jokingly insisted that she got 'get permission to do that joke' from Penn's 'best friends' Charlie Sheen and El Chapo. 'Blame it on them,' she added.
Glaser opened the 2026 ceremony with a major bang as she dropped an explosive Epstein files joke before torching Leonardo DiCaprio and CBS News during her opening monologue.
The comedienne, 41, who returned as host for a second consecutive year, made mention of Epstein's 'heavily redacted' client list mere seconds into the three-hour ceremony airing live on CBS.
'I cannot believe the amount of star power we have in this room tonight. It is insane. So many A-listers - and by A-listers, I mean people who are on 'a list' that has been heavily redacted,' Glaser said, eliciting loud cheers and even some groans from the celebrity audience.
She went on to jokingly award the 'Golden Globe for best editing' to Donald Trump's Justice Department, who have released just 1% of the files since Trump signed off on their release in November 2025.
'Yes. Congratulations,' Glaser added before ripping into CBS News, which has undergone major editorial changes as part of Bari Weiss's 'anti-woke' takeover.

Glaser also targeted Penn's One Battle After Another co-star DiCaprio in her monologue
'And the award for most editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News, America's newest place to see BS news. We needed another,' she said.
Glaser shifted her focus away from politics to roast many of the A-listers in the room, including Penn's One Battle After Another co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.
Glaser took a major dig at 51-year-old DiCaprio's reputation for dating women under the age of 25 as she applauded his performance in the nominated film One Battle After Another, which she jokingly referred to as 'One Man-Bun After Another.'
'What a career you have had,' she said to DiCaprio. 'Countless iconic performances. You've worked with every great director, you've won three Golden Globes, and an Oscar.
'The most impressive thing is that you were able to accomplish that all before your girlfriend turned 30. It is just insane.'
DiCaprio is currently in a relationship with 27-year-old Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti.

Glaser then apologized to DiCaprio for the low blow but explained that people 'known nothing else' about the star.
'Leo, I'm sorry I made that joke. It is cheap. I tried not to, but, like, we don't know anything else about you,' she explained, before adding, 'There's nothing else. Open up! I'm serious!'
Glaser claimed she 'searched' for more information about DiCaprio's private life but 'the most in-depth interview [he has] ever given was for 'Teen Beat' magazine in 1991.'
She then directly quoted a ridiculous answer DiCaprio, who would've been in his early 20s, once gave to the 90s magazine.
'Is your favorite food still "Pasta, pasta, and more pasta?" she asked, before encouraging DiCaprio and the laughing audience to 'look it up.'
