Paddington’s Hugh Bonneville Thanks Ukraine President Zelensky for Voicing International Version
28.02.2022 - 21:32 / usmagazine.com
A surprise connection. Paddington star Hugh Bonneville thanked Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky for voicing the titular bear in an international version of the film.
“Until today I had no idea who provided the voice of @paddingtonbear in Ukraine,” the Downton Abbey alum, 58, wrote via Twitter on Sunday, February 27. “Speaking for myself, thank you, President Zelenskiy.” The following day, the film’s production company, Studio Canal, confirmed that Zelensky, 44, voiced the beloved bear for both 2014’s Paddington and its 2017 sequel.
While it may seem strange that a world leader provided the voice for a marmalade-loving bear in a children’s movie, Zelensky was a successful actor and comedian in his home country prior to winning the 2019 presidential election. After earning a law degree, the statesman pursued a career in show business, even founding a production company, Kvartal 95, in 2003. Zelensky foreshadowed his eventual career in politics in 2015 when he produced and starred in the satirical TV show Servant of the People, in which he played a high-school history teacher who becomes the unlikely president of Ukraine.
In March 2018, he cofounded the Servant of the People political party, named after the popular show, and in December of that year, Zelensky led a successful campaign to unseat the former president, Petro Poroshenko. He was inaugurated in May 2019.
Bonneville is far from the only star to share their support for Zelensky following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “The president of Ukraine was a comic. He was a wonderful comic performer, and we should respect that [about] him,” Brian Cox said as the Succession cast accepted the best ensemble honor at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, February 27.
