The British actor Tilda Swinton has stated that she will not wear a Covid face mask on the set of her new film.
Working on a new movie in Ireland, Swinton said of her experience at SXSW Film and TV Festival: “I’m about to shoot a picture in Ireland, and I was told to wear a mask at all times, and I’m not”. Having contracted the virus several times, Swinton continued, stating: “I’m sure this is being recorded. I’ve had Covid-19 multiple times, so I’m full of antibodies and very healthy”.
Most recently lending her voice to the recent ‘Best Animated Feature Film’ Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, Swinton has been enjoying great success of late. Later in 2023, she will star in a trio of highly-anticipated movies, appearing in Wes Anderson’s forthcoming Asteroid City, David Fincher’s new crime drama The Killer and Joshua Oppenheimer’s musical The End.
Swinton has publicised her struggles with Covid-19 on several occasions, telling The Guardian in 2022: “I was coughing like an old gentleman who smoked a pipe for 70 years, and had nasty vertigo. I got off relatively lightly, but the worst thing is how it affected my brain…I did two films that I had to learn a lot of text for. I’m normally quite quick at studying, and picking stuff up, but this was like chewing a really big piece of gum”.
The actor is best known for her Oscar-winning turn in 2007s Michael Clayton, as well as her bit-part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she plays The Ancient One, appearing in Avengers: Endgame and Doctor Strange. Elsewhere, Swinton should’ve received an Academy Award in the Lynne Ramsay masterpiece We Need to Talk About Kevin, where she starred alongside Ezra Miller.
Take a look at the trailer for Joanna Hogg’s The Eternal Daughter below, Swinton’s most recent performance.
She doesn't say if she is vaccinated?
Good for her. It’s time people stop being afraid of a virus with a mortality rate of around 1%.
Personally, I’m more afraid of lightening strikes.
That anyone is demanding masks at this point is crazy.
It’s what killed James Otis Jr.
It’s nowhere near 1%.
Sorry, Less than 1%.
Still a lot of doctors' offices and such that require masks. You'd think that doctors should know what masks can and can't do, but there it is.
That’s so brave
3 years after all this libtard crap started …..
We still haven’t punished those responsible for unleashing this crud on the planet. And it appears we never will.
Either didn’t see or don’t care about these “famous” roles. Narnia, on the other hand…
She’ll lose. Ireland has gone full woke and satanic.
I tested positive twice this past year prior to having medical and surgical procedures, and had no symptoms whatsoever either time. I'm 75, and I have been taking oral medications for high blood pressure, Type II diabetes, cholesterol, thyroid, GERD and arthritis for at least 40 years. Outlived everyone else in my family. Nobody lived past 74. One only made it to 51.
“The British actor Tilda Swinton…”
I’m sixty four years old and the first thing I think is “Is she hot”?
SMH…old habits die hard.
I am utterly terrified of lightening! When I was a teenager some of us were tubing down the Ohio river and a huge thunderstorm struck out of nowhere. I was so traumatized I’m surprised I wasn’t committed ; )
She waited hours and hours in line to pay her respects to the late Queen Elizabeth. When it was her turn she mouthed a silent prayer & curtsied. She looked grief stricken. A lot of respect for her after that.
nope! Not even a little bit!!
Check out the pic at the link. She looks like David Bowie.
Jessica Chastain wore one at the Oscars. Looked like an idiot, which she is.
