MUMBAI: The crisis situation in Ukraine has left everyone shocked and worried. Amidst this, report has it that an eminent actor escaped Ukraine on foot.
Yes, you heard it right! Hollywood actor-director Sean Penn had to flee Ukraine on foot. Days after visiting the Ukrainian capital Kyiv to film scenes for his documentary on Russia's invasion, he found himself among thousands of refugees fleeing to Poland, joining the exodus on foot.
On Monday, taking to Twitter, Sean Penn, 61, posted a photo showing the movie star wearing a backpack and toting a piece of luggage on wheels as he trudged along the shoulder of a road beside a line of cars stretching into the distance. "Myself & two colleagues walked miles to the Polish border after abandoning our car on the side of the road," Penn said in a caption tweeted with the picture. "Almost all the cars in this photo carry women & children only, most without any sign of luggage, and a car their only possession of value."

However, the tweet did not explain why the Academy Award-winning actor and his companions were forced to abandon their vehicle. A spokesperson in Los Angeles, Mara Buxbaum, told Reuters by email on Tuesday that Penn had "made it out of Ukraine safely." She declined to answer other questions about his whereabouts or the circumstances of his departure from Ukraine. Penn, whose directorial credits include "Into the Wild" and "The Crossing Guard," was in Kyiv last Thursday attending a press briefing at the office of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on the first day of Russia's invasion, recording footage for a documentary chronicling the crisis, Zelenskiy's office said in a statement at the time.
