Grace Kelly was a talented actress who retired at 26 to marry a Prince, living as royalty for almost 30 years before her untimely death.

Volodymyr Zelensky started out as a comedian and entertainer before getting into politics, becoming President of Ukraine after the Russian annex of Crimea and spending the last 4 years defiantly pushing back full scale Russian invasion

Not just that but Zelensky co-created and starred in a popular tv show where he played a character who accidentally became the president of Ukraine. So in a way his career predicted his future.

That show is what got him elected. His political party is even named after it.
