Her 2023 Golden Globe nomination made her country proud and put Filipino talent on the global map. And while she lost out on the Best Supporting Actress win to Angela Bassett’s turn in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Dolly de Leon is using all the new attention and awareness and using it for the greater good.
Tatler arrived an hour and a half early for our cover shoot in December at the actor’s home in Cubao, concerned about being stuck in traffic and the potential for a diva-like fit if we held up her schedule. We need not have worried: de Leon greeted us with a warm smile, a “good morning”, and “I’m so sorry I made you wait”.
The actress was dressed in a hoodie and jeans combo, contrasting the dazzling outfits she had been photographed wearing in the previous few weeks. We had been briefed that she had only arrived home at 5am that morning, yet there were no signs of crankiness about her, as she received us cordially. And, despite groundbreaking achievement, throughout the conversation that followed, there was never a hint of arrogance, only humility.
De Leon is the breakout star of Ruben Östlund’s Palme d’Or-winning film Triangle of Sadness and the first Filipino nominated for a Golden Globe. In December 2022, she won the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for best-supporting performance, and at the time of writing, she was long-listed for a Bafta. There were rumblings about the possibility of an Oscar nod.
