Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has had one of the most unusual career paths of any politician.

Zelensky, 44, went from being a comedian and playing the fictional president on a TV show to being the actual leader of Ukraine and defending his country against Russia.

In 2006, he was the champion of Ukraine’s version of Dancing with the Stars. A video of him performing on the show, which you can watch below, has gone viral.
