Zelensky’s Career As An Entertainer and Politician
If you’re wondering why the president would have time for “Dancing With the Stars,” well, it’s because he was an entertainer long before he was the head of Ukraine.
Zelensky was part of a KVN team, which is a comedy competition in eastern Europe. After his time on “Dancing With the Stars,” he went on to star in a film called “Love in the Big City” and its two sequels, plus the films “Office Romance” and “Our Time.”
In a funny twist, Zelensky later played the role of the president of Ukraine on the television series “Servant of the People,” and a producer from the “Paddington” films confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that Zelensky voiced Paddington in the Ukrainian version of the movies.
This was first brought to the public’s attention by one of the stars of “Paddington,” actor Hugh Bonneville, who tweeted, “Until today I had no idea who provided the voice of @paddingtonbear in Ukraine. Speaking for myself, thank you, President Zelensky. #PaddingtonBear.”
Zelensky went into politics in 2018 and took office as the president in May 2019. One of his campaign promises was that he would serve only one term as president, according to Deutsch Welle.
But his popularity is soaring for the way he has handled the Russian invasion, according to Newsweek, so the Ukrainian people may have something to say about that.
