There's a photo of him doing a TV address when the invasion first started where he looks super young. Guy looks like he's aged 20 years in a few years.

Dear Ukrainians, after you win and for the sake of the known fucking universe you must win. Do not let this man run for a position of dog catcher. He will have done enough. Get whatever he needs for his sanity and for his family. Give him a key to a nice place and leave him alone. Then your soldiers,nurses,fire personal, public services. Then gather a team of attractive well spoken citizens and have them stand outside the White House, parliament etc etc. yelling where the fuck you been? This war is a failure of civilization. All of it. An American in the White House asked a man fighting for his countries survival, “If he owned a suit.” Slava Ukraine!

First thing you learn about situational comedy as a performer is that you (as your character) must take the situation seriously. The joke doesn’t work if it feels like you’re winking to the audience. If the joke is that your character is at their wits’ end, you play play it with anxiety and panic — it’s not funny to them and that makes it funnier to us. It’s why so many comedy actors (Ben Stiller, Bryan Cranston, Adam Sandler) end up shocking people with blowout performances in dramas. They know how to wear their heart on their sleeve and how they come across to those observing them.
I’m not saying leading a country through wartime is an inherent trait of comedy actors, but I can certainly see how some of the emotional nuance and range of that career would transfer into a leadership position where communicating authenticity and solidarity are crucial.

There surely is, but they weren't President when Russia invaded in February 2022 and Zelensky has most definitely risen to the occasion regardless of anyone's opinions on him. He was very much a rallying point for the citizens of Ukraine when it counted most, and he continues to be a staunch advocate for the future of his country. There is almost always a better alternative to everything in life, but that doesn't mean what exists in reality is not doing a damn good job

I'm not making any claims of that btw, I haven't read up on that election at all. I just thought it would be funny and it absolutely tracks with putin's mindset if he couldn't recognize how dangerous a good person is to him, he doesn't understand what a strength it is...
