Jaclyn Jose - First Filipina Who Won Best Actress In Cannes Film Festival


CANNES, France – Filipino actress Jaclyn Jose won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, May 22, for her mesmerizing performance as a mother forced to sell drugs to survive before falling prey to corrupt police.

She is the first best actress win at Cannes for the Philippines and beat international stars Charlize Theron and Marion Cotillard, who represented the United States and France, respectively. Wow, this is a huge success to all the Filipino.

"I am so surprised. I just went to have the red carpet walk with my daughter [actress Andi Eigenmann], my real-life daughter and my daughter in the movie also," she said upon accepting the award, according to AP. "To Cannes, thank you so much, thank you to the jury, thank you that you liked our film."

One of the biggest challenges she had to face for the film is "toning everything down to zero" to give justice to her role as a shop owner and small-time drug dealer.

"The biggest challenge for me was not to act. Especially since I am coming from television shows where I play loud and campy characters," she told reporters.
