Hopper Penn might be the best example that the apple does not fall too far from the tree. Sean Penn's 19-year-old son was caught on tape slurring a racist and homophobic slant to a photographer on Tuesday.
TMZ published a video of the fight, in which Hopper, son of Penn with actress Robin Wright, drops the F-word and the N-word to a paparazzo that followed him and his famously ferocious father into an office building in Los Angeles.
Police were notified of the incident, but the photographer decided not to press charges.
After the video was released, Hopper opened up about the story, saying that he was "accosted by paparazzi and made me feel like an animal, but that does not condone my own actions."
He added that he deeply regrets "his choice of words."

The eldest Penn does not appear on the video, but is referred to by the photographer who upon being attacked he slurred: "That's the kind of talk you're teaching him, Sean?"
Penn is famous in Hollywood for his angry outbursts, and as it appears, his son is on the same route to the anger management seminar he had to attend in 2009 after punching a photographer.
