Sean Penn made a memorable late-night appearance on Monday night.

The actor smoked not one, but two cigarettes during his Late Show
with Stephen Colbert interview, and admitted to host Stephen Colbert
that he took a sedative before. “I’m doing well. You’ve inherited a
little of the Ambien I had to take to get to sleep after a red-eye
last night,” Penn said at the start of his sit-down.

“So in other words, you’re still a little bit on the Ambien train
right now?” Colbert asked before the two-time Oscar winner
responded, “A little bit,” as he proceeded to light a cigarette
shortly after.

Fans and viewers quickly took notice of Penn’s smoking on TV and
shared their reactions on Twitter with many expressing bewilderment.

“Sean Penn is looking a little disheveled while #chainsmoking on
#colbert,” one user tweeted.

Weird. Sean Penn is smoking a cigarette on Colbert tonight. It's
been many a year since I've seen that on live tv.

Later in the interview, Colbert asked Penn to consider quitting
cigarettes.

“Please don’t smoke anymore. I don’t mind. My parents smoked when I
was a child so it gives me happy memories to smell cigarette smoke
but you know we want you to be around for a long time and those
things are bad for you,” the late-night host said.

“Job security for oncologists,” joked the Bob Honey Who Just Do
Stuff author.

The second guest of the night, Roseanne‘s Sara Gilbert, also reacted
to Penn’s smoking, telling Colbert, “Wow, I just want to say, Sean
Penn makes me look energetic.”

Though his smoking garnered attention on social media, another
interview moment was much-talked-about — this time in a more
positive light.

Penn praised the students and survivors of the Feb. 14 shooting at
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who organized the March for Our
Lives protest in Washington D.C. on Saturday.

“Within days of that not only are they stating their case with
incredible sobriety and articulate words but in such an inclusionary
way. You feel like there are reasonable people who have been on the
other side of this conversation who will listen to these kids,” he
told Colbert, later nodding when asked if the students “give him
hope.”
