In the age of the internet, everyone – celebrity or otherwise – gets the chance to respond to comments in their own way.

Recently, stars like Nicola Coughlan, Tess Holliday and Alicia Silverstone have used their platforms to shine a light on body-shaming culture while Nicole Kidman has called out sexist lines of questioning.

Now, Thandiwe Newton has taken to Twitter to publicly condemn fellow actor Sean Penn for his comments around men and femininity.

In her Twitter post, Newton tagged Penn and said: “Dude what are you SAY-ING?? Like for REAL? You’re a jibbering FOOL. MF you used to be sexy but now you’re just tragic.”

Thandiwe Newton had the most epic clapback to Sean Penn’s “men have become feminised” comments
