62-year-old Penn and 56-year-old Stiller have been permanently banned from ever setting foot on Russian soil after making public visits to war-ravaged Ukraine.

The Hollywood stars have been vocal on social media in their criticism of Russia’s invasion of the country, calling President Zelensky a hero and their ‘great friend’.
