"Mr Bean on Crack: Chapter 1" (part 1 of 10)

A comedian by nature, Zelenksky was also a strong leader of whom the rest of the free world looked to for hope.

... but by night: he was also a crack fiend who drew comparisons to Mr. Bean. Probably because of the beard, or maybe because he didn't need many words to be great. Either way, he was now a cracked-out Mr.Bean by night.

Oh yeah, Zelenskyy would be great to hang out with, but still would also hang out with Mr.Bean on Crack also.

Dunno, I'm picturing him being too much Chapelle-on-crack, considering that shit's insidious w/ taking over your whole self, world, life. 😅
