It’s not unusual for prima donnaish actors to make specific demands — like sparkling water with the bubbles taken out when doing press interviews.<\/p>\n
But Kiwi actor Marton Csokas, who stars opposite Vin Diesel in the blockbuster xXx, has been making completely out of the ordinary requests during his round of media Q&A.<\/p>\n
Real life nice guy Csokas (evidently cast against type in xXx, with a role as the lead baddie) is concerned for the people suffering from the floods that have devastated parts of Europe.<\/p>\n
In particular Csokas is concerned about Prague — where xXx was shot. Apparently the film locations are under water and total damage is estimated at $3.5 billion to $5.25 billion.<\/p>\n
Csokas, who also starred in Lord of the Rings, has been hoping to focus more attention on the plight of the flood victims. In a bid to spark donations to the aid organisation being set up in the Czech Republic he did a photo shoot with its website printed on his forehead (www.floods.cz). <\/p>\n
“xXx was filmed in Prague, Czech Republic, which has since been subject to catastrophic flooding,” Csokas, who is currently filming The Great Raid alongside Benjamin Bratt in Queensland, told Confidential.<\/p>\n
“About 200,000 people have been displaced from their homes and cultural heritage, existing for centuries, has been damaged or destroyed.<\/p>\n
