Actor John Malkovich lost a huge chunk of his personal fortune to Wall Street scam artist Bernie Madoff.
Financier Madoff was arrested in December, accused of siphoning billions of dollars from his wealthy clients.
A number of stars have been affected by the scandal, including Kevin Bacon, Steven Spielberg and Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Malkovich reveals he too lost money to Madoff - but he is refusing to let the financial hit get him down.
The star tells the New York Daily News, "I wouldn't say I feel flush.
"But I wouldn't pretend to have less than the most spectacular life. I'm more worried about people who don't have jobs."
Malkovich also reveals he has resolved a tax dispute with the French government that forced him to quit his home in the country.
The 55-year-old claims a mix-up left him with a $36,500 tax bill resulting from a Paris play he lost money producing.
Malkovich vowed to challenge the bill and now insists French authorities are "making an arrangement with the IRS."
