Sean Penn and Robin Wright’s son is the spitting image of his famous father in many ways. Not only does the 25-year-old look just like his dad he also has adopted some of Sean Penn’s style from his breakout movie role as Jeff Spicoli in the popular 80’s hit “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.”

Sean Penn brought to life the adorably cute and funny stoner character of Jeff Spicoli in the smash hit comedy. He is best known for his famous lines from the film including, “All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine,” “Hey bud, what’s your problem?” “I don’t Know,” and “Oh, gnarly!” to name a few.
Many of “Fast Times ” fans have stated over the years that they would love to see more of Jeff Spicoli. It would be interesting to see Sean Penn revise the role, perhaps in a film with Hopper as Spicoli’s son? The film idea is obviously a reach, but, with all the revises, reboots and remakes going down these days, one can really never say never can they?
Hopper, sadly, in real life also has a love for drugs like Spicoli, in April he was in April, in Nebraska where he was arrested following a traffic stop on suspicion of felony drug possession. The Nebraska State Patrol said at the time that a search of their vehicle turned up 14 grams of marijuana, four amphetamine pills and 3 grams of psychedelic mushrooms.
In June, Hopper Penn settled the case pleading no contest and paying a $1000 fine. Hopper Penn like his famous parents currently works as an actor with credits in films “War Machines,” “Between Worlds” and “Endings, Inc.”
