Sean Penn has gifted one of his two Oscar trophies to Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Penn told Zelenskyy in a video posted by the Ukranian President, “It’s just a symbolic silly thing, but if I know this is here then I’ll feel better and strong enough for the fights. When you win, bring it back to Malibu, because I’ll feel much better knowing there’s a piece of me here.”
Zelenskyy in return gave the activist the Order of Merit honor “for his sincere support and significant contribution to the popularization of Ukraine in the world.”
