This is just what we needed to deal with the Ukraine crisis.
Delusional Hollywood actor, Sean Penn, has arrived in Kyiv in order to film a documentary for Vice about the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
Seriously.
From Fox News:
Sean Penn has arrived in Kyiv to film a documentary about the escalating conflict in Ukraine.
On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with the Hollywood actor, who is believed to be making the film for VICE.
"American actor and film director, Oscar winner Sean Penn arrived in Ukraine," read a translated statement from the Office of the President of Ukraine's Facebook page. "The director came to Kyiv specifically to record all the events taking place in Ukraine as a documentary filmmaker and to tell the world the truth about Russia's invasion of our country."
"Today, Sean Penn is among those who support Ukraine in Ukraine," the statement read. "Our country is grateful to him for such a display of courage and honesty. This morning, the director visited the Office of the President and attended a press briefing by Iryna Vereshchuk, Adviser to the Head of the Office of the Head of State and Vice Prime Minister - Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine. He talked to journalists, to our military, saw how we defend our country."
Sean Penn figures himself to be a sort of journalistic hero, and has a history of inserting himself into big news stories. Remember he went to New Orleans after Katrina, and he went to Haiti after the earthquake to provide aid there as well?
And who could forget the El Chapo affair?
One thing can always be counted on in a crisis, Sean Penn will always be there to ask, "How can I make this about me?"
