"It's not possible to change now". Nataliia Sumska explained why she reluctantly recalls filming in "Servant of the People"

In conversations with journalists, People's Artist of Ukraine Nataliia Sumska is reluctant to recall her role in the TV series "Servant of the People." The actress played the mother of the protagonist, history teacher Vasyl Holoborodko (played by Volodymyr Zelenskyy), who unexpectedly became president of Ukraine.

In an interview with OBOZ.UA, Nataliia Sumska explained why she does not like to return to her movie character in conversations. According to the actress, another Ukrainian movie is being filmed now.

"It's already been filmed, it can't be changed, so why think about it?" says Sumska about "Servant of the People." "Besides, I'm the kind of artist who doesn't send herself back in time. I live in the present. Another Ukrainian cinema is already being born today."

Meanwhile, the actress fondly recalls her other film work – filming with her husband, People's Artist of Ukraine Anatolii Khostikoiev, in the TV series "One Million Dollar Village." "We are often reminded of this work by our fans: "Oh, we remember you from these roles." ' Or they mention a phrase that Anatolii himself coined: "Well, how am I going to help you now when I'm wearing a jacket?" People quote and remember."

The "Servant of the People" series, produced by Kvartal 95, premiered in 2015. In the spring of 2019, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who played a teacher who became the country's president, was elected to the highest state post in real life.

"I'm sorry that my role was not wide enough and interesting enough," Nataliia Sumska said in an interview with Radio Liberty a few years after the film's release, "It was limited to a domestic mission of some kind."

In an interview with the UA:Pershyi TV channel, the actress frankly admitted that she even felt pain while working on the set: "The shooting took place in the October Palace. Volodymyr had to take an oath as Holoborodko. And he speaks Russian. You can imagine my state as an actress, a citizen. It was the speech that the directors could have forced themselves to write in Ukrainian. It was such a dissonance that it sowed dislike in me."

The actress spoke of Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a very positive artist on stage, but added that "now the man is changing." "He is a high-ranking official. And it's a well-known truth that when a person gains power, he or she becomes a little different. This is described in all dramatic plots. In particular, the play "King IV" that we have been performing for 20 years in a row at the Franko National Drama Theater. The actor and the government – this course was explored here."
