"To shoot in the Russians": Sean Penn wanted to melt his "Oscar" on the AFU Fault Ball
According to him, Sean Penn showed special anxiety when the conversation touched Ukraine. He discovered even more concern, remembering the Oscar ceremony, where President Vladimir Zelensky was not allowed to speak. Penn said he didn't understand why it happened. After this situation, he even had the idea to destroy his statuette. "I thought: well, you know? I will give it to Ukraine. It can be melted on a ball that they can shoot at the Russians," Son said.
However, he later stressed that he decided not to spend his "Oscar" for Ukrainian ammunition. Instead, he decided to give one of his "Oscars" to President Zelensky. "I told him to leave him and bring him to Malibu, when all this is over and his country will be safe," Sean said with a smile. It should be emphasized that the actor shows deep respect for Vladimir Zelensky. He notes that he was struck by the president from the first meeting.
He could not even imagine that Zelensky would decide to stay in Ukraine with many citizens and to personally ask for weapons. "His brain is completely oxygen. His eyes are clear and he was warm. I knew that I would either feel anything or let myself fall in love with it," Penn said. The celebrity also emphasized his admiration for Zelensky, as the President was not afraid of even deadly danger. Despite the threat to his life, he continued to fight for the independence of his country.
