Sometimes, the big cinema family isn't just a decoy.
This is in any case true for the casting of the
Paddington
films .
Guillaume Gallienne, who lent his voice to the bear in the French version, sent a message of support to Volodymyr Zelensky.
If the Ukrainian president is today at the front facing Vladimir Putin's army to counter the Russian invasion of his country, he was an actor before.
And it was his voice that gave life to the Ukrainian version of the blundering little orphan.
The French actor said he was "so proud" to have this "in common" with the Ukrainian head of state, especially since he discovered that his "grandmother was born Lyla Zelensky".
“May God be with you, Ukraine and its people,” he concluded on Twitter, relaying an excerpt from the Ukrainian version of the 2014 film.

Hugh Bonneville plays Henry Brown, the Pooh's adoptive father in the franchise and discovered, like many, this weekend that Volodymyr Zelensky had dubbed the Pooh in the Ukrainian version.
“I speak on my behalf, thank you, President Zelensky,” he wrote on Twitter, where he also added the Ukrainian flag to his surname.
The British actor shared, in another tweet, a message to "those around the world who cherish the values of
Paddington
".
He added a link leading to the site of the British Unicef, which has a partnership with the hero created by Michael Bond, to help children in danger.
Nearly 520,000 Ukrainian refugees have already arrived in neighboring countries, after fleeing bombardments by the army of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
