Sean Penn has leapt to the defence of Woody Allen, claiming that he would work with the director again in a “heartbeat” despite the historic sexual abuse allegations from Allen’s adopted daughter.
Allen, 89, known for directing and starring in films such as Annie Hall (1977) and Manhattan (1979), was accused by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow of molesting her when she was a child; he has categorically denied the allegations, which Farrow first made in 1992 when she was seven years old.
