Lasting LEGACY

There is no one more suited to be the godmother of the 2023 Trophée Chopard than Oscar-winning actress. Natalie Portman. Having begun her acting career at the age of 12. Portman understands-perhaps better than anyone else the importance of having talent recognised and cultivated from a young age. Now, almost 30 years later, the screen icon is the perfect candidate to pass that on to a new generation of rising young stars.

Presented by Chopard to two emerging actors each year at the Cannes Film Festival, the Trophée Chopard cements the Swiss luxury house's commitment to encouraging the rising talents of the film industry. The trophy-thoughtfully designed by artistic director and co-president Caroline Scheufele is a work of art. Meticulously crafted by Chopard's high jewellery artisans, it features a silver-coated gold film reel atop a glass base.

This year, the laureates were award-winning actress Naomi Ackie and Irish actor Daryl McCormack. As godmother, Portman presented them with the award at a dinner hosted by Chopard. Dialling in from Cannes a few days later, the actress looks back on her career thus far and opens up on what it means to her to be a part of Chopard's efforts in recognising young talent in the industry.

How did you feel when you were named godmother of the Trophée Chopard?
