Ben Stiller meets Ukraine’s leader – POLITICO

It’s not simply politicians lining as much as meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Hollywood stars are getting in on the act.

The actor Ben Stiller was in Kyiv Monday in his function as a U.N. goodwill ambassador, and went to fulfill the Ukrainian president.

The “Zoolander” and “Meet The Parents” star instructed Zelenskyy: “It’s a great honor for me. You are my hero. You quit a great acting career for this.” Zelenskyy was a famous face in Ukraine earlier than he took workplace, starring in “Servant of the People,” a sitcom about an bizarre man who turned an unlikely president.

Stiller isn’t the primary movie star to fulfill Zelenskyy since Russia invaded. Ukraine-born actress Mila Kunis and her husband, Ashton Kutcher, had a Zoom call with the president in March. In May, U2’s Bono and the Edge carried out a live performance in a subway station in Kyiv.
