Naceri is currently in St. Petersburg, where he's working on the new movie Rock & Road, made by a Russian director.
The actor said he'd happily get a Russian passport, if he was offered one.
"If famous people are so fascinated by your country that they want to have a Russian passport, there is nothing wrong with that. It tells about their desire to get to know your country more," Naceri told a Zvezda correspondent.
