American actor Liev Schreiber demonstrated his personal connection to Ukraine in the new TV series 'Nocturne'. According to Wave RBC.UA citing UNITED24, the actor, who plays John Lynn, appeared on screen wearing the charity Odesa Bracelet and decided not to remove the accessory while working on the project. Instead, he made the blue-and-yellow item part of his character's wardrobe, transforming it from a simple piece of jewelry into a visible element of his image.
From Accessory to Symbol on Screen
Thus, the bracelet became not just a costume detail, but a symbol of Schreiber's family history and his support for Ukraine. The decision to keep the jewelry throughout filming allowed the actor to combine his artistic image with his personal stance: viewers could see the bracelet in scenes where the character John Lynn wore it, rather than just the actor off-screen.
Family Connection to Odesa
The accessory's special significance for Schreiber is explained by his heritage. The actor's maternal grandfather emigrated to the US from Odesa, making his connection to this Ukrainian city deeply personal. The bracelet dedicated to Odesa in this context becomes more than just a gesture of solidarity—it is a reminder of family roots and historical attachment to the city.
How the Odesa Bracelet is Made
The piece was designed by American jewelry designer Jill Platner in collaboration with the humanitarian organization BlueCheck Ukraine. The Odesa Bracelet is handcrafted from a blue-and-yellow cord and complemented by a silver clasp. According to reports, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the accessory are directed toward funding medical and humanitarian projects for the civilian population of Ukraine.
Schreiber's Stance and Humanitarian Support
Liev Schreiber has supported Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion. He serves as an ambassador for the UNITED24 platform, as well as a co-founder of BlueCheck Ukraine, an organization that helps vetted humanitarian initiatives in the country. The bracelet story received public attention: UNITED24 thanked the actor for continuing to draw attention to Ukraine and maintaining his connection to it even within his film work.
