The actress talked candidly about nearly declining the popular film Tomb Raider, which made her decide to move to Cambodia.
The 49-year-old Maria star responded, “In my heart, Cambodia,” when asked where she feels her home is during her speech at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Wednesday, February 5.
She thought about what would have happened if she had passed on some opportunities, such as the 2001 smash Tomb Raider, which was based on the same-named video game.
“The first time I was called, I declined Tomb Raider.” However, she was eventually convinced by the prospect of seeing the world and receiving instruction from the British army.
