Mumbai: Actor Alicia Vikander said she hasn't seen her Oscar trophy since she won the award last year.

The 28-year-old star bagged the prestigious trophy in February 2016 after being chosen as the recipient of the best supporting actress Academy Award for her role in ‘The Danish Girl,’ in which she played painter Gerda Wegener.

But despite falling in love with the golden statuette, she was forced to part with it shortly after the ceremony as she asked her friend to look after it while she was moving home and she's yet to be reunited with it, reported People magazine.

"I haven't seen him since that night! I very recently moved into my new place and, because I've been away working so much, I gave him to a friend in Los Angeles. (My friend's) daughter has been sending me photos to prove she's taking good care of him. I love my little updates from her!" she said.

Although she's set up home in London, Alicia is toying with the idea of sending the trophy back to her home in Gothenburg, Sweden, where she grew up rather than have it on display at her pad in the UK capital.
