Nap Time: Ridley Scott's upcoming Napoleon (Apple TV+): Bonaparte in the movies - including Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon, Vanessa Kirby as 'Not tonight' Joséphine.

In the picture John Hodgkinson (Small Axe) plays duplicitous secret police chief Joseph Fouché; Albert Finney essayed the role in Scott's first movie The Duellists (1977):

Ian Holm famously played Nap three times on screen (Time Bandits, Napoleon?& Love and The Emperor's New Clothes).

Tom Burke (Cormoran Strike) essayed the?young Boney in the BBC1 drama-documentary Heroes and Villains (2007).

Christian Clavier (Les Visiteurs) was Napoleon in the 2002 mini-series, with John Malkovich as the devious Talleyrand, Gerard Depardieu as Fouché.

On the comedy side; Arthur Lowe, Ernie Wise and?Terry Camilleri (Bill & Ted):

And Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Rzhevsky Versus Napoleon (2012), which also features Jean-Claude Van Damme as himself, not exactly a character from Tolstoy.

Bugs Bunny disguises himself as Empress Joséphine in 'Napoleon Bunny-Part' (1956).
