Tilda Swinton is done with pandemic protocols on film sets... despite having long COVID for months - Daily Mail

The 62-year-old London native - who was spotted in January at Paris Fashion Week- was featured in a keynote address at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas on Monday afternoon.

She began her program at the Austin Convention Center by stating that she was so happy that pandemic had progressed enough to the point where everyone in the audience didn't have to wear masks.

'We've had different challenges in the last few years particularly, and some of them are lingering around people's belief in sitting in big spaces,' Swinton began, before turning to the audience.

She added, 'It's very nice to see all of your faces unmasked, but yeah, a couple of years ago, we couldn't imagine sitting in a room like this, could we?'

The actress was at SXSW for the world premiere of her new film Problemista, where she stars alongside writer-director-star Julio Torres and RZA.

She also has two more films arriving in 2023, Wes Anderson's Asteroid City, with Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie and Scarlett Johansson, and David Fincher's The Killer with Michael Fassbender.
