Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, voiced the Paddington Bear character in the Ukrainian version of the film and fans were shocked to hear it!
The current Ukrainian head of state is currently being talked about for his courage and determination as Russian forces plan to attack the city of Kiev.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion ordered by Vladimir Putin, Zelensky has repeated that he will not flee his country when the Russian army has made him its main target.
Before being elected president in 2019, Zelensky was a comedian and an actor, and the latter lent his voice to Paddington in the two films about the UK’s most famous bear.
Some fans were surprised to learn this and did not hide their amazement when clips of the Ukrainian version of the film appeared on social networks.
One fan wrote on Twitter: “Didn’t think President Zelensky could be this cool but just found out he was the Ukrainian voice of Paddington Bear. »
Another wrote: “Just learned that Paddington’s voice in Ukraine is that of President Zelensky. Excellent. »
In 2006, he also took part in the Ukrainian version of ‘Dancing with the stars’.
