The Ukrainian president, who is at the center of Trump's impeachment scandal, has wooed Tom Cruise at his lavish headquarters.

Former actor-turned-politician, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, hosted the Mission: Impossible star in the capital of Kiev yesterday.

The Hollywood superstar is said to be studying possible Ukrainian locations for an upcoming film, according to President Zelenskiy's office.

Ukraine's leader is not just trying to charm President Trump, but also Hollywood A-listers, as Cruise is the latest in a string of actors to pose for pictures with Zelenskiy.

Zelenskiy tapped his roots as a TV and film comedian when Cruise paid a visit to his presidential headquarters on Monday night.

As Cruise walked in, the president said, 'you're good looking, like in a movie', according to video excerpts released today by the president's office.

The Hollywood star reportedly laughed and replied, 'it pays the bills'.

Zelenskiy joked about how exhausting it is to be president, and mentioned the stalled peace process for conflict-ravaged eastern Ukraine.

The video excerpts included no mention of Trump or the US impeachment inquiry in which Ukraine plays a starring role.

Ukraine was propelled into the spotlight when a whistleblower alleged Trump tried to pressure Zelenskiy to help dig up dirt on his potential Democrat rival for the White House in 2020, Joe Biden.

A July call between Trump and Zelenskiy, in which the pair discuss an investigation into Hunter Biden's time on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company, has become the center of a Democrat push to impeach the president.

Trump was heard offering his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani's services to President Zelensky to help investigate the Biden's, a transcript of a call between the two leaders revealed.

Zelenskiy previously shared photos of his meetings with actors Mila Kunis, who originates from Ukraine, and her husband Ashton Kutcher, as well as actress Robin Wright and Craig Mazin, producer of the Chernobyl TV series set in Ukraine.
