Zelenski: I used to be a clown, we sit and talk about the war today. What the hell happened?

Ukraine’s president, Voldymyr Zelenski, has recalled his earlier career as actor and comedian, saying he had never imagined that he would one day sit down to discuss the war under way in his country.

I was a clown. For a long time I was on television, trying to make people laugh and do stupid things, Zelenski said in an interview with German satyrist Jan Böhmmann, for the ZDF television’s Royalgaz show.

Addressing his conversationor, who is also a comedian, Zelenski recalled that both had worked in the entertainment world, but now they were in a completely different situation.

We both did this. Today we sit here and we need to talk about war. What the hell happened?

He said Russian aggression has radically changed Ukrainian society, but it has also changed its personal life and career.

Asked whether after the end of the war plans to return the comedy, Zelenski said the entertainment industry is a good profession but did not find out if it will continue that career.

Even being president is good. It’s hard work, a big challenge. You have to do everything you can to make your country survive the war.
