How Did Zelenskyy Change as a Boy?

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he changed like the wind as a boy. There was a time when he really wanted to be a diplomat, and he wanted to be a border guard.

He went to law school and graduated from the law faculty. While studying, he realized he was more interested in media, so he got out and started working in that field. Steven Bartlett says Zelenskyy became interested in comedy at 17, joined a comedy group, and kept at it until about 26, as a comedian before starting a media company. Zelenskyy says he was a script writer and sometimes, as a writer, also did a little acting. He enjoyed it until he was 26, and at 26 he got his own company. At 28 he won Ukraine's Dancing with the Stars. Asked if he can dance, he says he thinks yes, and he is not sure that now he can.

Zelenskyy voiced Paddington Bear in the Ukrainian language film. He says he really loved it and calls Paddington a very cool thing. He is not sure all of it is just for kids, but the character resonated deeply with him. Even after he became president, the next Paddington installment was coming out, and the timing was before the war. He was sent signals asking whether he would consider voicing another Paddington movie. He said he would really love to, but he did not.
