The luxury jeweler has selected the two actors to receive the prestigious Trophée Chopard during the film festival at an event attended by this year’s godmother, Demi Moore.
Challengers star Mike Faist and Talk to Me breakout Sophie Wilde have a date with Chopard during this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
The luxury jeweler has selected the actors to receive the prestigious Trophée Chopard, an award doled out since 2001 at the invitation of the house’s Caroline Scheufele as a way to honor cinema’s rising stars. Faist and Wilde will receive the trophies during a glitzy dinner at Carlton Beach on May 17. As previously announced, godmother Demi Moore will take the stage and present the pair with the honors.
The winners are selected by an academy comprised of previous winners as well as those who have served as godmothers and godfathers at the ceremony. Winners have included Marion Cotillard, Léa Seydoux, Diane Kruger, Niels Schneider, Florence Pugh, Jessie Buckley, Naomie Ackie and Daryl McCormack.
Faist can currently be seen on screen in Luca Guadagnino‘s Challengers opposite Zendaya and Josh O’Connor. He next stars in The Bikeriders for director Jeff Nichols opposite Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer and Norman Reedus. His credits include West Side Story, Wildling, The Grief of Others, The Atlantic City Story and Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game.
Wilde turned heads in A24’s horror hit Talk to Me. She next appears in Babygirl opposite Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson. Wilde’s other credits include Everything Now opposite Stephen Fry and Boy Swallows Universe opposite Phoebe Tonkin, both for Netflix, You Don’t Know Me, Tom Jones, The Portable Door and Eden.
