The filmmaker, who witnessed the beginning of a full-scale Russian invasion, admits that the Ukrainian president offended him with his honesty.
American actor and film director Sean Penn named the feature that distinguishes the President of Ukraine from others. He talked about it today on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
In particular, the celebrity said that he went to Ukraine to film a light documentary about the comedian-turned-president, but the full-scale invasion of Russia radically changed the scenario.
Having witnessed the great war, the film director began to make a film, called Superpower, about the struggle of the Ukrainian people against the invaders.
At the same time, Sean Penn admitted that he was surprised that Vladimir Zelensky, at a difficult moment for the country, did not cancel their meeting and announced his intention to continue filming.
The host of the show, Jimmy Kimmel, asked the actor to identify Zelensky, the answer was that the President of Ukraine differs from other influential people in his honesty.
“There’s something incredibly sincere about him. Any head of state, any politician, any head of a big company has a moment when you start to feel scripted conversations. But for Zelensky, there is not a single moment in him that is not true” – he said.
It was previously reported that Sean Penn spoke about his first meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
