Sean Penn's secret interview with El Chapo...did authorities use the actor to recapture the drug lord?

The US kinda helped Mexico to recapture one of
the world's most wanted man, Mexican drug lord,
El Chapo, who stared selling drugs at 14 and was
worth about $1billion before his arrest. They used
a Hollywood biopic and a Hollywood movie star
to recapture him. Read the report from TMZ
below...
El Chapo was one of the most wanted men
in the world and Sean Penn knew exactly
where to find him ... meeting with the drug
lord for a long interview while he was on
the run, and the actor clearly felt Chapo's
star power.
Penn did the interview for "Rolling Stone" and
carried out a secret mission to meet the fugitive
in a Mexican jungle. The actor hopped on a
charter plane in L.A., flew to Mexico, met El
Chapo's son and took another plane deep into the
jungle, where the 2 met.
During the interview, Penn was surrounded by
more than 100 cartel troops. Chapo bragged he
"supplies more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine
and marijuana than anyone in the world."
Penn asked Chapo about Donald Trump and his
comments about Mexicans ... and the drug lord
called Trump "Mi amigo."
And there's this ... Penn wrote of Chapo, "He has
an indisputable charisma."
Penn's 7-hour interview conducted in October
was a lynchpin in the capture of Chapo, according
to one report, although it does not explain how ...
it appears authorities may have learned of Penn's
interview and used it to track down Chapo.
Penn wrote about El Chapo getting offers from
Hollywood to do his life story, which appears to
be the impetus for his decision to create a biopic.
He actually got in touch with producers and
actors, which was a key to his capture.
Penn says he went to extreme measures to
maintain secrecy while communicating with El
Chapo's people to set the interview up, using
burner phones and avoiding contact with federal
agents.
