Sean Penn and Ben Stiller are permanently BANNED from Russia after the actors made public visits to war-torn Ukraine and called President Zelensky their 'great friend' and 'hero'

Russia slapped Hollywood stars Ben Stiller and Sean Penn with sanctions on Monday in response to their public criticism of Moscow's war on Ukraine.

Putin's foreign ministry included the actors on a new list of 25 US citizens banned from the country.

Those affected are mainly politicians, trade officials and industrial executives. The sanctions bar them from entering Russia.

Stiller and Penn have been vocal supporters of Ukraine in the conflict and have met Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky in high-profile shows of support.

In a televised meeting in Kyiv in June, Stiller, star of Zoolander, Meet the Parents and Dodgeball, told Zelensky: 'It's a great honor for me. It's really wonderful. You're my hero.'

Two-time Oscar winner Penn was in Ukraine recording a documentary when Russia invaded on February 24.

He was forced to flee on foot, joining the millions of Ukrainians crossing into Poland in the first days of the war.

He has been a vocal backer of Zelensky ever since and ever returned to Ukraine in June to meet the war-torn country's leader.

Penn was supposed to meet Zelensky ahead of war breaking out. He noted how he didn't have time to see if Zelensky could be a good friend and so 'decided he's a great friend that I love,' noting 'I don't know if I'll see him again'.

'Part of what makes him so particularly extraordinary is that courage, he's the face of so many Ukrainians. I mean this is leadership we aspire to, this is freedom of thought and true leadership that mostly is just so moving,' Penn said at the time.

'Ukraine with all its diversity has a unity we've never seen in modern times with the challenge it has.'

Penn is just upset because Russia abandoned Communism.

He was on an early list with many other celebrities.

I tried finding that list from 2 years ago, but couldn’t find it. I did find a recent list though from May this year, and strangely, Stiller’s no longer on it.

Here’s a short clip put out days ago:

A real Witch, Marina Abramovich was known to be 70 years old but looked less than 50. There was chatter she was using special injections. She was a visitor to Epstein Island. My sense is Epstein lured many celebrities to his island to discover some sort of fountain of youth potion. It’s possible a fraction of them saw nothing strange but weren’t sold on the youth serum. We don’t know. We’ll have to wait to see what unfolds.
