He is also voiced Red in first Angry Birds movie Ukrainian dub
@DevTNT
So whoever portrays him in his biopic will be an actor playing a President that was an actor playing a President
@kurduplinka
As an Ukrainian, I remember the time when he was still performing in Kvartal 95 (formerly a popular comedy show on TV). It’s crazy what everything have come to…
@Lalapoo11
I love occasionally stumbling upon these videos every now and then
@frizznetic
He’s completing all the side quests
@delorayn1
"Zelensky? The actor?!"
@Notthebloodgod812
It’s so weird seeing him pre war vs post war, man he looks almost like a different person now. The amount of stress he must be under is unimaginable
@ГригорийКузярин-т1ъ
Actually, he wasn't "cast" in "servant of the people", he created it and cast himself as Holoborodko. His career as a comedian began in the late 90s when his KVN (famous Soviet and Russian comedy TV show, every famous post-Soviet comedian was a KVN member at some point) team "Kvartal 95" became successful on TV. In the 2000s the team members founded "Kvartal 95 studio" creating comedy shows such as "Svaty", "Little Ukraine" and "Servant of the people"

Oh, so basically Ronald Reagans road to the presidency without becoming governor
@Nothingtea
What was absolutely wild to me was that I had watched Servant of the People on Netflix years before Zelenskyy was elected. So when he was, in fact, elected as the president of Ukraine…. Well, let’s just say I wondered if I somehow got a hold of an extra special brownie 😂
@archmageluk5086
"His big brake came in 2015". Only by that tine he was founder and CEO of biggest humor media conglomerate in Ukraine. They filmed a lot of movies, tv shows and concerts. He wasn't casted, he created the Holoborodko role.
@verakrot
He was a famous comedian, not only in Ukraine but in all russian speaking countries, Russia included. It's been years but i'm still baffled how propaganda was able to flip people's opinions, not only about him, but about Ukraine too. There's street interviews of russian people days before the invasion saying that Russia could never attack the "brother" country and now it's at least 60% support for this war. It's f ing scary
@BIastProcX
Did he reprise his role in Paddington 3?
@korana6308
It get's even crazier. In the early '00 , around 20 years ago he played in the Russian famous comedy show called KVN in front of Vladimir Putin that was laughing at his jokes... In one of his jokes he was saying that not only his fate but "the fate of the whole of Ukraine" is in Putin's hands... p. s. the joke was that Putin is so powerful, he was asking him kindly to take him home for his debts... p. s. 2 I've just rewatched a couple of of his performances back from those days. He even calls himself a Russian lol...
@storminmormin14
The fact that this man chose to remain in Kyiv even though he knew he’d almost certainly be captured and die and turned down American offers for evacuation is truly amazing. Very few people have that courage and even fewer still manage to win the fight they’re planning to martyr themselves in.
@Real_Lord_Frieza
Theres a joke in Russia about that "Imagine getting a tattoo of your favorite comedian, and then getting deported" Edit: People, chill out, it's joke and for those morons who just assume I'm not Russian, I literally live my whole life here, idk what to add here as a proof/Люди, успокойтесь, это шутка, а для тех индивидов что с ничего делают предположения о том что я не русский, я буквально жил там всю жизнь, хз чё тут добавить как доказательство
@DylanMartinez582
If I had a nickel for every time an actor became a president, I’d have two nickels, which is in a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
@Black_Noir1223
Bros dad lore bouta go crazy
