In mid -August 2023, reports appeared on the media and social networks that the performer of the role of Perry Koks from the popular comedy series about doctors recorded an appeal to the Ukrainian president. In the video, the actor allegedly advised the policy to go to Rehab. We decided to find out if McGinli directed such an appeal to Zelensky.
Network users drew attention to the alleged video message of the star on August 16. The enclosed video lasts almost six minutes and is a recording of the screen of a mobile device, which allegedly demonstrates the story from Instagram* McGinli. Most often, in numerous publications, one of the quotes of the actor is cited - for example, this: “Hey, Vladimir ... drugs have become your best friends, I understand ... The only person who can take care of you is you yourself.” Also often Addthat after the complaints of the Ukrainians, the artist’s account blocked. In some posts remindthat in the "clinic" the actor played the role of a doctor named Cokes that on slang denotes cocaine.
Mcginly news notes appeared in many Russian media, among which "RIA Novosti", "Russian newspaper" Russia Today, "True.ru" URA.RU, Life, "Petersburg diary" News.ru, "Ukraine.ru","Notebook"As well as television channels"Tsargrad","TV Center" And 360. The video was widely dispersed in social networks: for example, in Telegram channels "Ne. Sahar"(291,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Uncle Glory"(193 000), Voblya (142 000), "Ostashko! Important"(103,000),"What happened?"(101 000),"Yakov Kedmi"(72 000),"The tape of the day"(70,000),"True Russia"(68 000), TG Team Russia (48,000) and "Before everyone else. Well, almost. Special operation"(11,000), on VKontakte (examples here, here And here), V "Zen"And on YouTube.
From the end of July to the beginning of August 2023, “verified” has refuted three reports that American celebrities: Actors Elijah Wood And Dean Norrisas well as boxer Mike Tyson - Allegedly ask Vladimir Zelensky to go to a narcological clinic. All three fakes were built according to about the same scheme: these were fabricated storytellers and/or videos of foreign agencies or publications, which were based on genuine, but sometimes cut videos obtained using the service CameoWhere for money you can order personalized appeals from celebrities.
The next victim of the authors of such fakes became John K. Mcginley. Like his colleagues, in his video, the actor never pronounces the name of Vladimir, to whom he addresses, despite the tag of the account of the Ukrainian president in the upper part of the frame. The actor, using the Russian version of the Politician, also says that a certain Jane turned to him. Below we give a complete translation of the actor's words.
Hello Vladimir! Hello Vlad! Hello Vlad! It was Johnny K. Jane who contacted me and said that you had a black strip, that over the past year, booze and drugs have become your best friends. I understand, I understand. But the most important thing that I can tell you about this is that the only way out of this whole situation is kindness. (At that moment, an inscription appears in the video with reference to the Betty Ford medical center, which has already been mentioned in fake storiz Wood And Norris. - approx. Ed.) It may sound illogical, because now you equate kindness to condescension. These are two different things, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about you to take care of yourself, because this agreement works only in this way. This is a very delicate situation. And now you have a black strip, and getting off these substances is very difficult. And the only plan that you need now is the one that is based on kindness and care about yourself. You, Vlad, care about yourself - Vlad. So it works. No one else will take care of you. Yes, no one else thinks that he can take care of you. There is only one guy - you. Vladimir. God, take care of Vladimir. Because of this, it may be a little lonely. This is not easy.
I would like you, Jane, to find this text - I will read it, he is rather heavy. It is called "kindness." His wrote Naomi [Shihab Nay]. I will read it to you. Because I think that she wrote about your position. And it is indirectly aimed at you, Vlad. It is connected with you. There is a strong connection between the text of Naomi and what you are going through now. She writes (translation from the site "Poetry.ru". - approx. Ed.):
“To find out that there is kindness in fact,
You must know the loss
feel how the future is overnight
It dissolves, like salt in a fresh stiff.
What you held tight in your hand,
counted and bird
All this should leave, so that you find out
how the space is filled with emptiness
between one kindness and the other.
You go and go to yourself, thinking that
The bus will always roll
and passengers chewing corn and kuru,
They will stare forever out the window.
Before knowing the fragile severity of kindness,
You have to drive where the Indian in white poncho
Lies dead on the side of the road.
You must understand that it could be you
that he was also someone
Who wandered in the night with their plans
and even breathing that keeps life.
Before knowing kindness, as the deepest hidden thing,
You must know sadness as another deepest thing.
You must wake up with sadness.
You have to talk to her while your voice
The threads of all sorrows will not coo
And you will not see the huge size of her canvas.
And then in kindness there will only be a meaning,
Kindness will only tie the laces on your boots
and sends to look for the daily bread,
kindness is only that it will rise
Above the crowd to call you:
"This is me, who are you looking for"
And then he will go with you,
Like a shadow or friend. "
Kindness, Vlad. Kindness. So that you would be kind to Vlad, Vlad. And, most likely, it looks like this: you turn to an institution or a group that can help you direct your kindness. Because we have no answers. We think they are. We think that you can probably find answers in drugs or drinking. For a short time - yes, perhaps, but this is too slippery path. Kindness, Vlad. Kindness. Kindness to oneself. That's what you need to strive for. I wish you good luck. They love you. You can.
"Checked", indeed, could not find Instagram-count Mcginley, but in any authoritative English -speaking media did not write that the actor Turned to Zelensky, after which the page of the star Blocked Due to complaints. Note that there is still publications in English, but these are either posts in social networks And on entertaining sitesor unauthorized resources, referring On Russia Today. In addition, on the viral video it was shown that 437,000 people allegedly signed on the Instagram on the actor, but the same recording of Storiz is walking on the network. At the same time, Mcginley has Twitter-court, where the records with the appeal to Zelensky or stories about the removal of Instagram of the star could not be found.
We turned to Fan club actor, and Leading Engie Koudim replied to them that Mcginley never had a page on Instagram, and she had not heard about the appeal to the Ukrainian president. Kouidim suggested that the video with the actor could be created using Deep Fake technology. This version is doubtful, since the video lasts more than five minutes, during which any distortion is not noticeable, and the manner of speech and voice of McGinley correspond to real.
"Checked" again went to the Cameo website and found there page actor. Among the reviews we found two Appeals, on which the actor puts in the same T -shirt, on him the same glasses, and the videos are recorded against the background of the same wall and from the same angle as the alleged appeal to Zelensky. If discounts did not work at the time of the order of this video, the fake with McGinli can be the most expensive of four well -known to us, since the video from it costs $ 475, from Elijah Wood - $ 340, from Dina Norris - $ 199, and for the "appeal" Mike Tyson to pay at all I did not have to.
Later, McGinli himself confirmed our suspicions, whose comment we are Received From Kouidim, who turned to the press secretary of the actor. According to him, Storiz about Zelensky is a clear attempt to denigrate his reputation and disseminate false information created on the basis of a video bought in the Cameo. “I want to assure my fans, colleagues and the general public that the distributed video is absolutely false and was maliciously mounted with the aim of introducing me in a negative light,” said Mcginley. - I have always been a supporter of an open dialogue and respect for people. This video does not correspond to my values and how I behave. ” It is also reported that the actor’s lawyers are investigating the origin and intentions standing for the order and the spread of an misleading video in order to take appropriate measures.
The earliest publication with the video we managed to find appeared in the Telegram channel "Putin in Telegram"(180,000 views), previously repeatedly seen in the spread of fakes, including the false appeals of Wood, Tyson and Norris. There, a video with McGinli appeared on August 16, 2023 at 11:27 pm Moscow time.
*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns the social network Instagram, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.
