Michael Rapaport is commending President Zelensky for his bravery … giving his seal of approval to a fellow Jewish man and comedian.
We got Michael in NYC on Thursday, and he had nothing but praise for the Ukrainian President — who Rapaport believes has been a great leader through such uncertain times.
Michael tells us “[Zelensky]’s been vocal, he’s been emotional … it’s been inspiring to me as a Jewish man.”
As for how he’d handle a situation similar to Zelensky, Rapaport jokes he’d simply call the guy for help.
Of course, Zelensky was a very famous comedian and actor in Ukraine before becoming President, a role Rapaport believes he should keep — because he’s excelling — and leave the entertainment biz behind.
Before Zelensky was elected into office in 2019, he starred in a show called “Servant of the People,” where he filled a similar role — a teacher that becomes president and becomes an icon of bravery. Life imitating art.
