Penn caught flirting on camera

Sean Penn has been caught canoodling with two young women.

The Oscar-winning actor was videoed flirting with the attractive brunettes at a bar in Malibu on Wednesday night, just days after his wife Robin Wright Penn filed for divorce.

In the clip obtained by entertainment website TMZ, Sean shares a cigarette with a tall, slender woman dressed in black.

She smiles nervously as the 48-year-old star whispers in her ear with his hand on the small of her back before taking her cigarette out of her mouth and taking a drag.

Later, Sean is seen sitting next to another woman, wearing a pair of denim hotpants.

As she tosses her hair and grins, Sean leans in close and nuzzles her neck, before whispering to her as the people they are with burst into laughter.

Wright - who has two children, Dylan, 18, and 16-year-old Hopper, with Sean - filed divorce papers on August 12 in Marin County, California, citing "irreconcilable differences".

She is not seeking spousal support and the couple have agreed to share custody of Hopper.

The news comes after the actress revealed she is at a "crossroads" in her relationship with Sean and they are living apart.

Wright - who married Sean in 1996 - said: "I hit that crossroad a while ago. The 'I know what I don't want' was flashing in neon lights. I have no regrets. I, we, have two amazing children we raised together.

"There's no limbo anymore. There's no time. I'm too old for this."

In April, Penn filed for separation from Robin but a month later asked California's Marin County Superior Court to dismiss the case claiming it was an "arrogant mistake".

It was not the first time the couple had announced they were divorcing only to change their minds.

Penn first filed for separation in December 2007, but his petition was dismissed. Three days later Wright filed her own paperwork.

However, in April 2008, they made a request to have their divorce petition dismissed as they wanted to give their relationship another chance.
