Your dose of heart-warming news this Monday morning comes with a side of wholesomeness because President Volodymyr Zelensky voiced Ukraine's Paddington & we can't quite believe it 🥺️

@melevans✍️

The leader – who has remained alongside his people in the capital to fight against the Russian invasion, posting defiant videos from the streets – was a comedian and actor and even appeared on the country’s version of Strictly before he moved into politics.

(Yes, really!)
We can only imagine Ukrainian film fans are all across Zelensky’s role as the sparky bear, but the rest of us are just making that solid, and totally game-changing realisation today 🐻 Image
That was helped along yesterday by Bonneville (@hughbon) – who played Henry Brown in the classic film – who wrote on Twitter: ‘Until today I had no idea who provided the voice of @paddingtonbear in Ukraine.'
The reactions were *so* wholesome, with Sam Freedman writing:

‘With Strictly and voicing Paddington on his CV the only way Zelensky could appeal to middle Britain more would be if it turned out he played Superintendent Hastings in the Ukrainian version of Line of Duty.’
For the full story - and more on the leader's varied career and life before politics - here's the full story 👇

"Some are simply born to be embarrassed," says, well, us 😭

And if the most recent episode of Wheel of Fortune is anything to go by, you can't tell us we're wrong 🤷🏽‍♀️👇trib.al/7HtSqm0
Contestants on the US game show have become a bit of a laughing bag after a clip of them attempting to solve what is considered, clearly not to all, to be a fairly well-known phrase was branded ‘painful’ by baffled audiences playing on from afar.
Seriously, though? It was s-i-m-p-l-e.

📜 Secretive Batman script📜

‘So my role as casting director is to help the director of the film realise their vision for who should be in the film, and cast all of the actors,’ Lucy told us, emphasising how much secrecy was involved in the project from the very beginning.
‘From reading the blank scripts, I help the director decide who would be best in each role, and get the actors to be in it.'

'It was a very confidential project.’
