Tilda Swinton is done with pandemic protocols on film sets… despite having long COVID for months

Tilda Swinton ended COVID-19 masking protocols on film sets, revealing that she now refuses to wear a mask on set.

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

He started his show at the Austin Convention Center by saying he was so happy the pandemic had progressed enough that everyone in the audience didn’t have to wear masks.

His last time at SXSW was nine years ago in 2014, reflecting that he didn’t see anyone wearing masks during his first time at the festival.

“We’ve had different challenges in recent years in particular, and some of them persist around people’s belief in sitting in large spaces,” Swinton began, before addressing the audience.

Progressed: He started his show at the Austin Convention Center by saying he was so happy the pandemic had progressed enough that everyone in the audience didn’t have to wear masks.

‘Look to you. I bet none of you are wearing masks too. 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, adding: “I don’t know, it’s a wide world and people do things differently everywhere.

“I’m actually about to start taking a photo in Ireland, and they told me, full disclosure, and I’m sure this is being recorded and people in Ireland could hear it, to wear a mask at all times, and I “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 so nice to see all their faces without a mask, but yeah, a couple of years ago, we couldn’t imagine sitting in a room like this, right?”

Swinton admitted that he wondered “how long it would be” before people could safely gather indoors again and worried that “those who thought sitting in a big place to watch a big screen was a bit outdated, would be kind of gain traction and that would tip it over the edge and people would just forget the power of the magic carpet.’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 this “magical thing” happened that caused many people to say that one of the biggest things they missed during the pandemic was going to the theater.

He added that he thought it was, “the only good thing about the pandemic, that it was making people not say that the people who were saying that movie theaters were about to disappear.”

His comments come just over a year after revealing in an interview with The Guardian that she suffered from COVID long for months.

He said that in August 2021 he was unable to get out of bed for three weeks after contracting COVID.

“I was coughing like an old man who smoked a pipe for 70 years and had nasty vertigo. I came out relatively lightly, but the worst thing is how it affected my brain, ”he admitted.

‘I made two films for which I had to learn a lot of text. One was Wes Anderson and he likes that you talk like a speeding train,” Swinton said.

‘I’m usually pretty quick at studying and picking things up, but this was like chewing a really big piece of gum. I couldn’t remember my lines,” she admitted.

Asked if he was still dealing with long-term COVID, Swinton admitted: “Sort of, but I still forget things.” I have to work my brain.
