STORY: Bloom showered Zelenskiy with praise before reaching across the table and pounding Zelenskiy's chest while telling an amused Ukrainian leader "you have a heart".

It was his first trip to Ukraine since 2016, the British actor said. He also visited a children's center in the city. 

The Spilno centers, spread all over Ukraine, offer support for displaced children and their families, with more than half a million children and their caregivers having visited one in the past year, according to a UNICEF statement on its website.
