MAKING WAVES
SEAN PENN
Sean Penn returned to Ukraine for a third time — this time with one of his Oscars. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared photos and videos on Instagram Tuesday documenting the moment Penn, 62, gave him one of his Academy Awards as a “symbolic” token amid the country’s war against Russia. “It’s just a symbolic silly thing, but if I know this is here then I’ll feel better and strong enough for the fights,” the actor and activist told Zelenskyy. Penn also advised Ukraine’s president to return the Oscar statuette to Malibu “when you win.” Penn won two Oscars for best actor in a leading role — one in 2003 for “Mystic River” and another in 2008 for “Milk.”
