Actor Sean Penn has gifted one of his Oscar trophies to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The actor, 62, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2004 and 2009 for Mystic River and Milk respectively, has presented one of the statuettes to Zelensky as a “symbolic” gesture to the politician and his people in Ukraine.

In a video shared on the president’s Telegram channel, Penn told him, “It’s just symbolic, but if I know this is here then, I’ll feel better and strong enough for the fights. When you win, bring it back to Malibu, becau,se I’ll feel much better knowing there’s a piece of me here.”
