Finn Bennett had never worn a real tuxedo before Cannes Film Festival.
The actor is being honoured by Chopard with this year's Trophée - which is awarded each year to emerging actors - and the rising star loved dressing up for the occasion, where Angelina Jolie presented him with the prize.
He told Women's Wear Daily: "It was the first time I wore a real tux.
"I’d rented a cheap one before, but this was like, ‘Wow, this is what it’s meant to feel like.' ”
He was also loaned a handmade, battery-free watch from Chopard for the event, and he was happy to try something new.
He quipped: “I know nothing about watches, but I feel like I’ve learned so much.”
Although he doesn't consider himself a fashionista by any stretch, he is "getting more into it" after he attended the McQueen Paris Fashion Week show in September 2024.
He added: “It was amazing — the drama, the solemnity. It was a real performance. So yeah, I’m getting more into it. I’d love to go to more shows.”
With his Cannes award, Finn is following in the footsteps of the likes of Joe Alwyn and James McAvoy.
Initially, he didn't "really believe" the call when he found out he was following in their footsteps.
He said: “I didn’t really believe it at first.
"I looked up the previous recipients and there are some really amazing people on there — not just well-known, but brilliant actors who do the kind of projects I want to do.”
Finn - who has appearaed in the likes of 'Black Doves', 'True Detective: Night Country' and 'Warfare' - is thriving under the "pressure" of living up to his growing reputation.
He explained: "You’re working with more revered and recognisable people.
"It’s not that you’re scared of them, but you want to impress them. You want to do a good job."
