In addition to his political career and leadership, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been praised by many on social media for his entertaining past.
A re-enactment of Zelenski, who is agile on his feet, and his winning ballets from the national version of 2006’s Dancing with the Stars went viral on Monday.
Fans from Twitter to TikTok admire Zelenski’s moves – including a trick that shows him and his partner Olena Shoptenko blindfolded while mentally counting steps to achieve their goals with perfection.
“I actually fainted [sic]”, Signed a user of Tik Tok video of Zelenski and Shoptenko.
The celebration of Zelensky’s recklessness came just days after British actor Hugh Bonneville, one of the stars of the Paddington franchise, revealed that the 44-year-old is the familiar voice behind the Peruvian bear in the Ukrainian versions of Paddington and Paddington 2.
“Until today, I had no idea who voted for @paddingtonbear in Ukraine. I speak for myself, thank you, President Zelenski. #PaddingtonBear, “he tweeted, along with a video of Zelensky.
The news was then confirmed by the producer of the film StudioCanal to The Hollywood Reporter.
Russia launched an attack on Ukraine, including Kyiv, last week with a decision what Russian authorities called a “special military operation.”
Other popular images also show the founder of the Servant of the People political party on the front lines with many of his compatriots and women, and he has been praised as a “true leader.”
