Two comedians fooled JK Rowling. Supposedly she was supposed to speak to Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a video call, but she never did.
The Russian comedian duo Vovan and Lexus have fooled the “Harry Potter” author JK Rowling (56). An impersonator allegedly posed as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (44) in a Zoom call, and reports.
In the call, in which the two were apparently not to be seen, a Selenskyj impersonator spoke, among other things, about the fact that the scar on Harry Potter’s forehead looked like a “Z” and whether she could not change this. The “Z” is a popular symbol of support for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
Elsewhere, the impersonator talks about the Ukrainian soldiers writing “Avada Kedavra”, the killing curse in the world of Harry Potter, on rockets. He also asked whether the character Albus Dumbledore was actually gay and said he “hopefully hadn’t” slept with a transgender person – a reference to statements by the author about trans people that had caused a stir in recent years.
Recorded video is said to be “twisted account of conversation”.
With the organization Lumos, which she co-founded, Rowling is currently also supporting children and families affected by the Ukraine war. A spokesman for Rowling said the author was approached to talk about her “extensive charitable work in Ukraine.” “The video that was edited is a twisted representation of the conversation.” The prank call was “tasteless”.
At the end of the video call, it is resolved that Rowling never spoke to Zelenskyj. Instead, three people would be shown who are said to belong to the “Order of the Ukrainian Phoenix” and wear T-shirts on which the words “Only Putin” should be seen in Cyrillic.
The duo is notorious for its phone pranks and is said to have targeted Prince Harry and Elton John, among others. Since the two have apparently repeatedly targeted personalities who were critical of Russia, there are currently suspicions that the comedians are acting on behalf of the state.
