In a video posted on Instagram on March 27, the actor brilliantly pronounces the name of Ukrzaliznytsia, joking that he says it better than Bono, who came to Ukraine last summer to perform in the Kyiv metro.

“Sorry, Bono, I got it,” Bloom said in the video.

Bloom arrived in Ukraine this weekend. He visited the UNICEF Spilno Children’s Center in Kyiv and an orphanage in the village of Demydiv, Kyiv Oblast.

Later he met with Ukrainian President and former actor Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where he read excerpts from a speech made to British youth by Japanese mentor Daisaku Ikeda, a childhood inspiration for Bloom.
