It is believed that Jodie - who is the face of Gucci High Jewellery - was targeted after wearing gold and diamond jewellery by the brand on the red carpet. The jewellery was immediately returned after the premiere. It is speculated that the robbers thought the jewellery was still in her possession.

Local French news outlet Nice-Matin reported that the theft occurred between 12:00-14:00 on Friday and did not name the hotel or the actor. There were reportedly no signs of a break-in as the room is accessed via a magnetic keycard, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
