Volodymyr Zelensky made a living as an actor and comedian before becoming the president of Ukraine. He voiced the Paddington bear in the Ukrainian-dubbed versions of the children's films.
Zelensky voiced the marmalade-loving bear in the original film, but he also voiced the character in the sequel.
Zelensky recorded his lines over some silly clips of Paddington in a promotional video for the film.
Hello to my friends. Zelensky says in the clip that he will lend his voice to Paddington.
You can go to see Paddington with your whole family, and everyone will enjoy it.
English actor Hugh Bonneville, who plays Paddington's adoptive father Henry Brown, shared the video, but had no idea who provided the voice of the character. Thank you, President Zelenskiy, for speaking for me.
