Former film actor and current Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy received an Oscar on Tuesday. The coveted trophy was presented to him by Hollywood star Sean Penn, according to the press office of the presidential office. The little gilded man came from the American actor’s possession and should now serve as a “symbol of faith in victory” for Ukraine.
The Hollywood star who takes in war refugees was awarded an Order of Merit by Zelensky for his contribution to supporting Ukraine.
Film about Zelenskyj in progress
Penn, who is visiting Kiev for the third time this year, informed Zelenskyj about the status of his film project. The two-time Oscar winner (Best Actor in “Mystic River” 2004 and “Milk” 2009) has been working on a film about Zelenskyj for some time.
Before his career as head of state, Zelenskyj was an actor, comedian and film producer. His most famous role was that of the head of state of Ukraine in the television series Servant of the People.
