Sean Penn took a smoke break as he stepped out in Malibu on Thursday.
The Mystic River star, 63, got in his nicotine fix while running errands in the coastal community.
An American Spirit cigarette dangled from his mouth as he stood along the curb, looking relaxed.
The actor rocked a head full of platinum white hair and kept his look extremely casual for the outing.
Sean – who recently grabbed dinner at Giorgio Baldi – opted for a white V-neck shirt, black slacks, and worn trainers.

Lately, fans have been able to catch Sean on the comedy series C*A*U*G*H*T.
He also will be starring opposite Dakota Johnson in the drama Daddio, set for release May 23.
Sean made his film debut in the 1981 film Taps that also starred George C. Scott, Timothy Hutton, Ronny Cox and Tom Cruise.
The actor has earned Oscars for his roles in the 2003 mystery drama Mystic River and the 2008 biopic Milk.
While Penn may best be known for his roles on the big screen, a good deed he did out of the spotlight made headlines back in January.
In January, Penn came to the aid of a reporter in need of help ahead of the Golden Globes.
Variety reporter Marc Malkin suffered car trouble in Palm Springs before he was expected to cover the Golden Globes pre-party festivities that same day in Los Angeles, according to Page Six.
But Malkin was able to get back on the road with the help of Penn and his publicist Mara Buxbaum.

Page Six reported that both Penn and Mara manually pushed the reporter’s electric car – which had lost power – to a charger.
Malkin was forced to get his car towed to a charging station after it had lost power, where he ran into both Penn and Mara.
The duo were both there powering up their own vehicles.
‘Marc looked to one side, and Sean Penn was charging his car – and he looked to his other side and saw Mara Buxbaum (Penn’s longtime publicist) charging her car,’ the insider said.

Malkin’s vehicle was unable to charge and ultimately he decided to move his vehicle to a different type of charger by setting it in neutral.
Penn’s publicist approached Malkin and asked if he needed help pushing the vehicle. ‘She said, “You need someone to push your car?”‘ an insider said.
It was then that Malkin peered into his rear-view mirror and saw ‘Penn was back there pushing his car’ with his publicist.
The article said Malkin was ‘dumbstruck’ watching the duo move his car to a working charger.
‘It was the funniest thing ever,’ the insider said. ‘Sean was a real-life hero.’
Thanks to Sean, Malkin made his assignment at the Golden Globes pre-party later that day.
