Not that one can ever understand the workings of Sean Penn’s mind, the actor decided to do his part in saving Ukrain from the tyranny of Russia by lending them a brass statue.
“It’s just a symbolic, silly thing,” he said, seated beside the Ukrainian leader at a ceremonial table and pressing his hand on his arm to emphasize his words as aides smiled and laughed. “When you win, bring it back to Malibu.”
I’m honestly baffled by this. I mean don’t come at me with “what did you do?” I’ve been buying perogies from the local Ukrainian church every Saturday for a year now. So don’t ask me what I’ve done.
Zelenskiy, a former comedian and actor, said later in his nightly video address that Penn had been “doing everything to help us gather international support” ever since he visited the Ukrainian capital on the day of the invasion. So I guess that’s something.
