Tilda Swinton is done with the COVID-19 masking protocols on film sets, revealing she is now refusing to wear a mask on set. The Mail has the story.
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 programme 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.
Her last time at SXSW was nine years ago in 2014, reflecting that she didn’t see anyone wearing masks during her first time to the festival.
“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.
“Look at you. I bet none of you are wearing masks, as well. I mean, who knew that was going to be possible?” Swinton added.
“There was a time… I mean, in Texas, did people even wear masks? I have to ask,” Swinton said with a smile, as some in the audience laughed, as she added, “I don’t know, it’s a wide world and people do things differently all over.”
“I’m actually just about to start shooting a picture in Ireland, and I was told – full disclosure, and I’m sure this is being recorded and people in Ireland might hear it – to wear a mask at all times, and I’m not wearing a mask because I’m super healthy and I’ve had Covid so many times and I’m so full of antibodies and I have faith,” Swinton said.
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?”
Swinton admitted that she did wonder, “how long it would be” before people could gather safely indoors again and she had a concern that, “those who thought sitting in a big place to look at a big screen was a bit obsolete, would kind of gain traction and that would tip it over the edge and people would just forget the power of the magic carpet.”
The actress said that this “magical thing happened” which was many people saying that one of the biggest things they missed during the pandemic was going to the theatre.
She added that she thought it was, “the one good thing about the pandemic, that it was making the people naysay the people who said that theatres were on the way out.”
Her comments come just over a year after revealing in an interview with the Guardian that she suffered from Long Covid for months.
When even the luvvies who had Long Covid are refusing to wear a face mask and making speeches about it, does this mean change is in the air?

There is no such thing as ‘Long CoVid’, there is Post Viral Syndrome, well recognised for a long time, which leaves people fatigued, weak, headaches after a viral infection. Once known as Yuppy ‘Flu.
It is a SYNDROME which is not a DISEASE.
Syndromes are not infectious, so wearing a mask (even if they were effective) makes no difference.
The whole Fakedemic is based on and thrived because of ignorance.
I wonder if she has long syphillis, long diarrhea, or the dreadful longer stupid.
The fact that anyone believes in long rona is symptomatic of our brain dead society.
Long stupid is an endemic disease in this country.
Tilda Swinton Says She is Refusing to Wear a Mask on Set Despite Having Long Covid for Months
For ‘long covid’ read five boosters and a body that’s now a spike protein producing micro clot factory.
“‘…I’m not wearing a mask because I’m super healthy and I’ve had COVID so many times and I’m so full of antibodies and I have faith,’ Swinton said.”
There’s no suggestion there that she’s suffered any vaccine damage, or that she’s had any of the boosters, or any of the vaccines, or that she believes in the vaccines.
She’s refusing to wear a mask and she feels super healthy, I see nothing wrong with that.
I agree with the mask bit but my point is they’ll blame their ongoing ill health on anything but the Covid jabs. Some of my friends who claim they’ve got ‘long Covid’ keep taking these jabs – this is despite having Covid multiple times! it’s difficult to even begin to fathom how absurd this is.
They complain they’re constantly lacking energy and they feel their health is seriously compromised but with the open mindedness of an Iranian Mullah they continue to claim it’s all to do with Covid and continue to stand 100% behind these shots. One friend recently even lied about how many he’d had saying he’d only had two. When we gently pushed him on it, he admitted it was five. If he was so convinced by this vaccine program, why would he lie? It’s bonkers.
My point is they tell you it’s long Covid but neglect to mention the half dozen times they’ve pointlessly turned their bodies into spike protein manufacturing facilities and no doubt Tilda Swinton has done this too. I doubt you could do the Hollywood film work she does without them. Or at least not until very recently.
When you try and gently suggest to these people that the Covid jabs might be the cause of their ongoing ill health and maybe they should stop taking them, they get angry and defensive then start talking to you like you’re David Ike.
The rampant and manic desire for some people to draw what they see as political dividing lines between you and them now involves injecting demonstrably dangerous substances into their bodies that could kill them. This is a mental illness.
I agree with you that ‘long Covid’ is something other than ‘long Covid’, there’s a good article about it in the Wall Street Journal, ‘The Exaggeration of Long Covid’:

But I don’t agree with your assumption that just because many actors got vaccinated, and some several times, that “no doubt Tilda Swinton has done this too”, just because she’s an actor. I don’t think we can assume that all actors got vaccinated. Not all film studios required everyone on a production set to be vaccinated.
According to the UK HSA about 20% of the UK population are unvaccinated. Professor Norman Fenton argues it might be more (as an opinion poll for the BBC’s programme, Unvaccinated, suggested). The ONS claims only 8% are unvaccinated. But even if it was only 8%, why would actors be much different from the rest of the population?
So unless there is some reason to think otherwise – such as something Tilda Swinton said (which I’m unaware of) or evidence that she was on a film set that insisted on everyone being vaccinated – there’s approximately somewhere between a 1 in 12 to a 1 in 5 chance that Tilda Swinton is not vaccinated.
Quite understandably, for the sake of their careers, actors who chose not to be vaccinated are likely to keep quiet about it (as even I did in most situations).
Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? But I’m just basing my assumption on the vapid totalitarian ‘be kind’ politics Hollywood requires you to wear on your sleeve in order to be allowed into their clubhouse. So using that as a baseline, I’d put money on Tilda Swinton being multiple Covid jabbed.
“Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?”
That’s exactly what I’m saying too.
The title of this article doesn’t make any sense to me. What does the ”despite” bit have to do with anything? What does having so-called ‘Long Covid’ have to do with wearing a mask? Anyway, I won’t be getting involved in the mask farce anymore as everything that needs to be said on that matter has been done to death now. Put it away in a box with Gary Lineker and Hancockup. After all, no amount of face-nappy wearing is going to save a jab junkie from a myriad of mRNA adverse effects.
It must require a special kind of mind to be able to wear a mask on set then shoot scenes where you’re snogging people.
One for the older reader.
Was her mask mask known as Swinton insurance?
Like it!
To be honest, it looks like a bit of a strange rant.
Are some people in Ireland really being required to wear masks all the time?
The whole thing sounds like she popped out of time warp from a year or more ago.
I haven’t been out of the greater Belfast area for several months but nobody in Belfast wears a mask any more, and I can’t imagine it would be much different in the rest of Ireland. I don’t know what part of Ireland she’s coming to film in. But unless all the actors are going to stay in all the time when they’re not working, it would be totally silly to wear a mask on the film set and then mix with everyone not wearing any masks while socialising, etc.
So, having seen how the land lies in Ireland Ms Swinton has decided to grab some virtue out of acting
normally.
Very brave.
Or maybe she was simply telling the truth, that someone in the film industry told her what she said she was told:
“I’m actually just about to start shooting a picture in Ireland, and I was told – full disclosure, and I’m sure this is being recorded and people in Ireland might hear it – to wear a mask at all times, and I’m not wearing a mask…”
I think the TV and film studios at least in California have their own rules about this stuff in set- Woody Harrelson made reference to it. So yes, masking for work is still a thing in the film industry. Sounds gruesome- that and having to work on woke propaganda crap with smug virtue signalling lefties.

Well done that woman. What a star. Someone get her a medal.
“Long Covid”? Yeah right. Jabs and boosters more like.
Ahh, but she’s not giving up masks because they don’t do anything but because she thinks they are no longer needed.
