Italian media, according to the New York Post.

If the

is to be believed

, the actor's house, which he bought for $ 14 million in 2002, would have been relatively untouched by the bad weather, but it had already been hit by a flood in February 2020, when his property in Berkshire, England, was beset by torrents of water when the Thames rose from its bed.
