Sir Ian McKellen is known not only for his impressive film roles, but also for his active support of the global LGBT community. It was on this topic that the odious pranksters from the Russian Federation decided to joke.

On the pages of Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus, a video of a conversation between McKellen and the alleged president of Ukraine appeared. During the conversation, the actor was offered to lead the gay parade named after Stepan Bandera in Kyiv, as well as to force the mayor of the capital, Vitali Klitschko, to confess to being gay.

In addition, the Russians, on behalf of Vladimir Zelensky, demanded that McKellen make a financial contribution to help Ukraine..

After the scandalous draw, McKellen spoke about this on his Twitter. The offended actor said he was very surprised when he received an invitation to talk with Zelensky a few weeks ago.. Before agreeing, according to the actor, he consulted with his acquaintances in Ukraine. " It soon became clear that it was not Zelensky and not a Ukrainian official, but one of the Russians who call themselves comedians.

As I understand it, they are popular in Russia, which is surprising, because their jokes are not funny,"

At first, McKellen did not notice anything suspicious, but doubts arose after the Russians began to ask for help to the Ukrainians..

" When I realized that this was just a dirty trick, I refused to further talk, "

It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Russian propagandists have resorted to such unfortunate jokes in the direction of Ukraine-supporting celebrities.. Director David Lynch also fell victim to comedians..
