Text messages exchanged between Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán and Kate del Castillo appear to show the drug kingpin was less concerned with a Hollywood biopic and more interested in courting the Mexican actress.
The messages spanning Sept. 25 to Nov. 9 were published by the newspaper Milenio and confirmed as authentic by a federal official to the Associated Press. Though Guzmán and del Castillo discuss proposals, lawyers, and arranging the Oct. 2 meeting with Sean Penn, the drug lord spends a considerable amount of time flirting with the actress.
The conversations jump between Guzmán, del Castillo, and his lawyer, Andres Granados. Here are the most significant revelations from the messages:
El Chapo didn't know who Sean Penn was.

Granados: She wants to bring the actor Sean Penn.
Granados: One of the most well known actors in Hollywood.
Granados: (Del Castillo) says the actor Sean Penn has a very important message and wants to give it to you personally. This actor, it turns out, is the most famous in the United States.
Despite being told who Penn is, Guzmán forgets and asks about the actor again.
El Chapo: What's the actor's name?
Granados: Sean Penn
Granados: He made the movie 21 Grams.
El Chapo: 21 Grams, What year was that made?
Granados: I'm checking for the exact date.
El Chapo: Ok.
Granados: 21 Grams was in 2003.
Granados: He's also a political activist
Granados: Who has been critical of the Bush administrations.
El Chapo: That's his most recent movie.
Granados: These days he rarely acts. Now he produces movies.
Granados: And he knows almost all the directors and producers in Hollywood.
El Chapo: What's the latest thing he's produced?
