Bvlgari and Save the Children are celebrating the tenth anniversary of their partnership with the #GiveHope campaign, which has brought together a myriad of stars including Eva Green, Lily Aldridge, Alicia Vikander, Lady Kitty Spencer and Michael Fassbender. With the expression of a message of hope, the campaign aims to support a non-profit organization, which defends the rights of children around the world.

For a decade, jewelry house Bvlgari and the Save the Children fund have worked hand in hand to help children in need around the globe. The philanthropic partnership has featured in a number of campaigns, and most importantly led to the creation of a collection of jewelry pieces, whose sale price includes a percentage that will bring hope to young lives.

When Alicia Vikander won her Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2016 for her heartbreaking portrayal of a wife – whose husband was one of the first to undergo gender reassignment – in The Danish Girl she was at the top of Hollywood.

Here in a rare, personal interview Alicia Vikander opens up in our latest edition of GLAMOUR UNFILTERED, hosted by Josh Smith as she releases her latest film – the new Netflix thriller – Earthquake Bird which aptly is about the physical and personal earthquakes in life. Here she discusses the earthquake moment in her own life – leaving ballet behind – why she is proud she had an “inner compass,” as the start of her acting career and how speaking up and owning her own voice in sex scenes, in the “moment when you were afraid,” empowered her….

When she was a young girl in Gothenburg, Alicia Vikander dreamt of a life in tutus. At 15, she moved to Stockholm and attended the Royal Swedish Ballet School, where she would dance seven hours a day, six days a week. Eventually, a chronic back injury put paid to her ambitions, but not before it had equipped her for Hollywood. “I’m very good with pain,” the Oscar-winning star of The Danish Girl explains. Moments later, she rolls up her trousers to reveal a recent scar on her knee. “Skiing,” she says in a stage whisper, gesturing towards her management team across the room. “But don’t tell them.”

A high pain threshold helped the 31-year-old with the 2018 Tomb Raider reboot, for which she put on 12 pounds of muscle through weight training, rock climbing, swimming and MMA fighting. Her Lara Croft tempered being a badass with bruised vulnerability; her running, jumping and tumbling was defined (naturally) by a balletic grace. The dance training was there, too, in her laser-guided performance as a feminised android in Alex Garland’s sleek sci-fi thriller Ex Machina (2015). Adding a touch of artifice to the most natural movements – a raised eyebrow here, a tilt of the head there – she was at once bewitching and unnerving.

Vikander – who lives in Lisbon with Michael Fassbender, her husband and co-star in 2016’s The Light Between Oceans – meets me in a restaurant in central London. She’s wearing a double-breasted grey suit; a gold pendant shaped like a hand dangles from her neck. Emanating a breezy contentment, she has an indeterminate European accent that suggests no fixed abode. After passing up the chance to go to law school, she’s seen a steady upward trajectory since her first role in the 2010 film Pure. Within a couple of years, she had appeared as the sheltered Kitty in Joe Wright’s Anna Karenina and, from then on, has rarely returned to her homeland.

Justin Chon is continuing to champion Asian narratives with his lastest project Blue Bayou, which is being co-financed by Charles D. King ‘s MACRO and Entertainment One. Chon will also star in the film alongside Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl, Tomb Raider), Mark O’Brien (Ready or Not, Halt and Catch Fire), Linh Dan Pham (Mr. Nobody, Ninja Assassin), and Emory Cohen (The OA, The Loudest Voice).

The pic marks the third Asian familial-centric drama from the Twilight Saga actor, who found success with his last two films, Gook and Ms. Purple, with the latter performing solidly at the box office when it opened in Los Angeles earlier this year. Blue Bayou was written by Chon, who will also direct the piece as production will commence this month.

Inspired by true events, the plot tells the story of Antonio, a Korean adoptee raised in the US who is forced to confront his distant past, and what it means for his own future as well as his family’s, as he suddenly –and unexpectedly– faces deportation.

Chon is producing the pic with MACRO’s King, Kim Roth, and Poppy Hanks. Clara Wu, Entertainment One’s Nick Meyer, Zev Foreman, and Eddie Rubin will serve as executive producers with MACRO’s Yira Vilaro and Greta Fuentes as co-producers.

Speaking with Deadline at this year’s Sundance fest, where Ms. Purple had its premiere, Chon talked about his transition to directing.

“The reason I stepped behind the camera is to take control of the story, number one,” said Chon. “Number two, I realize how I add the value to the Asian American community right now. We have Justin Lin, we have James Wan, and John Chu —they’re doing that space incredibly well. They’re doing the studio system so and more commercial traditional films. I think I’m so well served in telling these much more intimate stories that bring empathy to us, to our community, and portray us in an authentic way — and I think that is penetrating the culture in a different way.”
