The famous American director Michael Mann admitted that he has Ukrainian roots. He spoke about it in an interview with The Village.

According to the celebrity, his family lived in the city of Ovruch, Zhytomyr region, and in the first half of the 20th century moved to the USA and Argentina. It is noted that the Brazilian director with Ukrainian roots, Hector Babenko, told the filmmaker about this.

“I really have something that closely connects me to Ukraine. My whole family comes from the city of Ovruch. When my grandfather left Ukraine and went to the USA, his two sisters moved to Argentina with Hector Babenko’s grandparents. I didn’t know about it until I met him, he told me this story,” he said.

In addition, Michael Mann said that he actively follows the news in Ukraine, which is fighting against the Russian invaders.

“I’m following the struggle that Ukraine is currently waging. Take care of yourself, good luck. By the way, I recently watched Sean Penn’s documentary Superpower, it’s an extraordinary film,” the director shared.

It was previously reported that French Transport Minister Clement Beaune is of Ukrainian origin, his grandmother and great-grandfather being from Odessa.
