before saying that she is “very healthy” after having gone through COVID-19 infections multiple times?????

this made me snort

A year ago she said she was struggling with long covid too:

Swinton says her brain has also emptied in another scary way. She is still recovering from long Covid. For three weeks in August, she couldn’t get out of bed. “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. One was the Wes Anderson and he likes you to speak like a speeding train. I’m normally quite quick at studying, and picking stuff up, but this was like chewing a really big piece of gum. I couldn’t remember my lines.” Is she coping now? “More or less, but I’m still forgetting things. I have to work my brain.”

Don’t sets at least require proof of vaccination or is that over with?? But I’m pretty sure she’s done other projects in the past couple years.

It’s not a guarantee, but yes the vaccine does help you bounce back faster when you do catch Covid. As someone who’s got their boosters and still suffered from long Covid, it’s still crap. But at the same time, people who complain about masks but are vaccinated usually say so. Like “I’m vaccinated, that’s enough for me to take the risk.” The fact that she just stated she’s healthy after catching it so many times screams not vaccinated to me.

someone fine her

Everything about Tilda makes total sense when you learn that she grew up rich as fuck in a Scottish noble family.

She went to school with princess Diana.

Basically she's a privileged asshole.

lmao wait is it this one? https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jan/23/honor-swinton-byrne-interview-souvenir-tilda-joanna-hogg

The answer, says Swinton Byrne, was that she got into university on a 10,000-word essay, having graduated from school via a Ted talk-style taped interview. At first, she thought she wanted to be a doctor and was aiming for an access-to-medicine course, “but I’m such a big hippy that I believe in things just happening and decided to go to Africa instead”.
