Apparently, Sean Penn is a Stooge

[Torgo Johnson]

The Farrelly brothers' have finally found their cast for The Three Stooges. Variety reports that Oscar winners Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro along with Jim Carrey will play the title characters. MGM "has set Sean Penn to play Larry, and negotiations are underway with Jim Carrey to play Curly, with the actor already making plans to gain 40 pounds to approximate the physical dimensions of Jerome 'Curly' Howard. The studio is zeroing in on Benicio Del Toro to play Moe."

10. He's rumored to be connected to the Stooges.

He hasn't been announced in a part yet, but Lindsey Lohan has been claiming that Rogen is supposed to be calling her about a part in a movie with Sean Penn, and some think it's this one.
