Thursday, March 3, the CNN television channel shared the details of this expedition, revealed by the director ofInto the Wild in person from his Twitter page.
“Myself and two colleagues drove miles to the Polish border after leaving our car on the side of the road. Almost all the cars in this photo are carrying only women and children, most with no visible luggage, and their car is their only valuable asset,” the actor captioned a snap showing him pulling a suitcase in the middle of a long line of cars. Since then, a representative of the Hollywood star has confirmed that he had succeeded in leaving the country coveted by Vladimir Putin.
