Well, it turns out Sean thought it was a pretty good idea and plans on taking a stance in an inneresting way if they don’t go through with it.
In an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta on Saturday, the 61-year-old actor, who is currently in Poland with his non-profit organization CORE aiding humanitarian efforts amid Russia’s attack on Ukraine, promised to “smelt” his Oscar statues in public if it turns out that the Zelenskyy was not given the chance to participate in the award show on Sunday. He declared:
