From getting married in a borrowed suit to star of film and TV to president to esteemed wartime leader holding a nation together in the face of the Russian Empire throwing their entire Soviet legacy at them.

Hell of a 20 years.

Which actor do we want to portrait him in an epic 3h film or mini series about his life?

Assuming Chris Pratt is not available.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He should play himself. Just like he did in Servant of the People

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Honestly this. The man's an actor lmao

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not Chris Pratt, he's turned into a douchbag.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Oh boy. I barely spend time on social media or β€˜celebrity news’. Was not aware. What a shame. Thanks for the link.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because? Genuine question, I thought he was a pretty laid back nice guy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pratt is kinda funny. he's mostly a boring leading man, he was funny in Parks and Rec, and maybe there will be some kinda funny stories to be seen, if the war ever fucking ends. but has Pratt done dark shit like war crimes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And if you squint real hard they almost look alike. Tomorrow War and The Terminal List come to mind. Not super dark but definitely a heavier tone opposed to other work he has done.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

fair enough, but I still don't see Pratt as Zelensky confronting the various massacres, such as Bucha, or having real empathy at all. You do know Zelensky is not a military commander? He is not a real-life action hero?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Action hero? No, didn’t think so. Depending on the outcome though, history might very well lean into that angle. Happened before.

Edit: Meant to say: in retrospect, history might very well be looking back at him in such a way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

this one bothered me, sorry to bring up old lemmy posts. but fuck that. history doesn't lean. It looks that way in retrospect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Old? Barely 80h. I’ve had much, much older posts in my feed (at some point anyways).

Terribly sorry mate, hope that wasn’t offensive or anything. I went back and adjusted my comment but kept the original so your reply still makes sense.

Learned something new today, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

this is hilarious

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Charles Martinet might be available

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would probably work better in either an animated version or some kind of educational Switch game.

Still, you just reminded me of someone else. If we use the same fancy de-aging techniques as in IJ5, what about Bruce Campbell?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd see more Bruce. Skip the VFX and just have old Bruce pretend to be younger

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Steve Buscemi style

You mean the russian propagandist?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No I’m talking about the karate guy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You realise they are the same person right?

Edit: He is an Aikido practitioner not karate.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well either way I think he would be a great Vladimir Zelensky.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I geuss you think fingernails on a chalk board is good music.

Dude was never better than C-list action. The only reason I would say he could act his way out of a paper bag is that he's competent with a blade.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At the risk of sounding creepy - they both aged like wine.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the pictures are scarily boring compared to her recent comment that [not a quote] she would rather a partner who is present than a husband who is a historical figure

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Her last name is actually zelenska IIRC Ukraine has gendered last names

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

That's very interesting.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Those are the eyes of a man who carries the weight of those he’s sent into battle. That’s the mark of a true leader.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

What an absolute chad.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

They are so sweet together.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

So much better with a beard!
