US actor John Malkovich, who has Croatian ancestry, was granted Croatian citizenship on Tuesday in a special ceremony.

Text size:

"The world-renowned actor, who has left a mark on cinema with numerous roles, has taken on a new role and become a Croatian citizen," Interior Minister Davor Bozinovic said in a post on X.

The 72-year-old Hollywood star was also welcomed by Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic.

"John's long career and his art success is a great inspiration for younger generations and we are glad he is proudly cultivating his Croatian roots," Plenkovic said.

Malkovic's great-grandmother and great-grandfather emigrated from Ozalj, in central Croatia, to the United States.

He has stayed in the Balkan country on several occasions, both privately and as a guest performing in theatre productions.
