We asked that, whatever resolution comes from the war in Ukraine, would Penn ever consider making a scripted project based on his now-friend Zelenskyy.

Penn and Smith wanted to tell this whimsical tale of his comedic actor, who played a president in a comedy, then became the president of Ukraine.” History would ultimately change the tone of the doc, which saw Penn in Ukraine’s capital about to mount production when Russia launched its first attack in 2022.

He was sort of reptilian, but I would say I didn’t feel an abundance of respect shown from him towards anyone in the room. He talked about Judo, and he talked about things that I’m sure he was well-practiced at talking about, depending upon who his target was, to just not do his country any damage in conversation. “I think he knew how to be impressive and to guide the conversation … he knew that I would be interested. I don’t think that my insights were any deeper than President Bush’s,” said Penn.
