"Charlie is one of the very few public people who cannot
be accused of using the media to his own benefit. I would very much like to
show my old friend the world of needs on the ground in Haiti, and introduce him
and his tremendous wit to our hard working Haitian staff."
Penn's message
of support came hours after Sheen told "Access Hollywood" that he and
Penn were planning a trip to the Caribbean nation, although no date for their
travel has been announced.
"If he chooses to give support, I'll trust
it," the Academy Award winner said. Sheen, who has been on a media blitz
since Monday, says he would like to bring the attention of the world back to
Haiti, where Penn has been a fixture since a January 2010 earthquake destroyed
more than 500,000 homes.
