Las Vegas: Katie Holmes saidit was "quite devastating" to visit the overcrowded Moria refugee camp in Greece.Holmes posted pictures to Instagram last month of a trip with her daughter Suri to the camp on the island of Lesbos. It's home to thousands of refugees from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.
"It was incredibly meaningful. I went to the Moria refugee camp in Greece and it was eye-opening to see that a camp that was originally built for about 3,000 now has about 8,000. So it was quite devastating to see," she said in an interview on April 4,at CinemaCon here.
"I mean it's such a huge issue," Holmes continued. "I don't know the answer yet to how we can solve it. I felt very fortunate to meet the people that I did meet and to see how many people are dedicating their lives to helping, to volunteering. It's very humbling to see that. And I think that it's important to remember that it is our responsibility to do as much as we can to help people out, whether it's like going to a soup kitchen or just doing what you can to help people in need."
Holmes was at CinemaCon promoting her lead role in 'The Boy 2',which features a creepy life-sized doll that just may be haunted.
"I had so many dolls growing up and I have three sisters and one brother. So dolls were never creepy to me. They were always like this source of fun. So making this movie, I was like -- I don't like thinking of a doll in this way. It's sort of ruining it for me," the 40-year-old actress said.
'The Boy 2',set for release later this year, is Holmes' first horror film since 2011's 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark'.
"I felt like this was a really well written script and character and one that's very relatable – a parent who is very concerned about her child. So it was fun and knowing that audiences have really been flocking to horror movies, it's like – I want to be a part of something that people are entertained by," she said.
