Hollywood star Jodie Turner-Smith has fallen victim to the curse of Cannes — the jewellery thieves who regularly haunt the world’s biggest film festival.
The British-born actress wore eye-catching Gucci gold and diamond jewellery to the red carpet premiere of her latest film “After Yang” on Thursday. The next morning her suite at the Marriott hotel in the Riviera resort was broken into while she was having breakfast with her one-year-old daughter.
Police told AFP on Monday that they were investigating a theft of jewellery from the hotel but it was unclear whether the jewellery was Gucci’s — loaned for the premiere — or the actress’s own. The star of “Queen & Slim” and the series “Nightflyers” and “The Last Ship” made no mention of her loss when she gave a “Women in Motion” talk at the festival.
