Troy and National Treasure actress Diane Kruger has been announced as the global ambassador for Martell Cognac's 300th anniversary during a press conference in Paris this morning.

Kruger, who's previously featured in campaigns for Chanel, Jaeger-LeCoultre, L'Oréal, and Calvin Klein, is to work with the brand on the Martell France300 project to identify 300 'ones to watch' around the world. She commented 'I've spent much of my life living here in Paris so it's a huge honour to be asked to join the Martell France300 project. We're looking to find 300 talented people, all of whom will have to demonstrate exceptional talent and ambition in their field, as well as being bastions for the modern French Art de Vivre lifestyle. I think this initiative in recognition of emerging French talent, is the perfect way for Martell Cognac to celebrate their 300th anniversary this year... and I'm delighted to be a part of it'.
