Who would the UK's Volodymyr Zelenskyy be? (lighthearted)

[NeverMindTheBackProblems]

I've just caught part of the documentary on BBC2 and it got me wondering - who would be the UK's equivalent of him? An actor, comedian, winner of the Ukrainian version of Dancing with the Stars. But also - someone with enough gravitas and courage to lead the country in war as the underdog against one of the world's most dangerous men.

Michael Sheen would like to be the Welsh version.

. Michael Sheen would be fantastic at rousing the troops.

I couldn't think of anyone when I posted but yes Michael Sheen is a good call, especially after watching that YouTube clip!

Gerard Butler?

Think he has a law degree. And the whole THIS IS SPARTA was very rousing.

Ross Kemp?
Oh dear, I think we would be screwed

Fergal Sharkey? Jo Brand?

At one point it might have been Eddie Izzard, but he took a turn...

Glenda Jackson maybe, or Sandi Toksvig? Peter Capaldi (as Malcolm Tucker) was a similar TV character but Armando Iannucci is the more likely to be a good leader.

Volodymyr Zelensky is a really exceptional guy though, most countries haven't got that lucky.

I'm not sure we have anyone who has played the piano with their penis on tv....

Patsy Kensit.

Martin Lewis

Ricky Gervais. Straight talker, can read people well, has great back up/support in Jane.

Comedian, actor, winner of Strictly...

Bill Bailey

It could be worse to be fair.....

JK Rowling. Erudite, clear headed and with a strong sense of justice and the value of boring old graft.

Also Greg Davies, for no other reason than he is very tall and commanding. Little Alex Horne could be his right hand man.

Bear Grylls. The man who left his role in Scouting shortly after being photographed 'baptising' his friend Russell Brand who he has been supporting since C4 investigations into his conduct.

Yes, definitely a contender for UK Zelenksy...

... if we are barrel scraping.

Unfortunately I can actually think of one.

You missed an 'a' off that last word.

Jason Issacs? Great voice, seems nice.

Angela Rayner

Tom Holland, he was Spiderman and seems very talented.

Danny Dyer 😁

I read @MrsSkylerWhite ’s Angela Rayner as Angela Rippon…and then thought Rippon would probably be better!

Stalin was pretty good.

Angela Rayner scares me 😁

Isn't Zelensky left-leaning? Seems to be doing ok.

James Purefoy, he's a bit old though
