[@mirazusta2002]

Can you imagine a meet up with Marlon Brando, Sean Penn and John Travolta, drinking and sharing stories on a flight back to the USA from Mexico. I guess It cannot get better than that. Thank you for posting!

I was there, it was a great time. I’ll never forget it.

What if Travolta drank alot and insisted on flying the plane and they landed safely at LAX?

Two times Oscar winner Sean Penn and two times Oscar winner and one of the greatest actors of all time Marlon Brando, on a trip to México City to track down, Noble Prize recipient Gabriel García Márquez. Why has no one made this a movie?
