Her classic screen image
Speaking of the name Tilda Swinton, many friends may feel strange, but when it comes to the roles she has played, I believe almost no one knows: "The ancient one" in Doctor Strange, Manson in "Snowpiercer", Gabriel in "Constantine", "The Legend of Narnia" (The chronicles of narnia) series of the white witch (the white witch) and so on, just look at these few roles with a huge difference in shape, Tilda Swindon is known as the "Thousand Faced Monster" is enough, but she can do much more than this, the following Uncle Mei talks to you about Tilda Swinton, you will find that her life is more exciting than the role she has played.
Tilda Swinton
Tilda Swinton, full name Katherine Matilda Swinton, was born on 5 November 1960 in London, England, with her ancestral home in Berwickshire, Scotland. Her father, John Swinton, was a senior Victorian, and her mother, Judith Balfour, an Australian, a wealthy second-generation man, met John Swindon while he was a governor-general's aide in Australia and married in Sydney on 26 August 1954.
The surname Swindon is a traditional aristocratic surname in Britain, which is said to date back to around 900 AD, so Tilda Swinton is definitely a proper descendant of the nobility, which is more historical than those "gegues" in the domestic entertainment industry. Intuitively speaking, around 900 AD we are in the last years of the Tang Dynasty.

More importantly, the Swindon family has been passed down to this day, with a house and a land, which is a condition that many "celebrities" do not have now (if you are curious, you can search for "kimmerghame house", known as the grand architectural model of Scotland, which is the house of Tilda Swindon's hometown).
Tilda Swinton in his youth
Born into an aristocratic family, Tilda Swinton was not at all interested in aristocratic life, and when she reached school age, she was arranged by her parents to attend the Sissis Noble Girls' Boarding School, where she became a classmate of the late Princess Diana Spencer. The Sissis Aristocratic Girls' Boarding School, known as the "Duchess of Riches", was so uncomfortable with its harsh boarding education that Tilda Swinton felt so uncomfortable that years later she said that Sissis was "a very lonely and isolated environment" and openly opposed boarding, even rejecting invitations to perform in the Harry Potter film series depicting a "good boarding life".
Perhaps because Sissis left a shadow over Tilda Swinton's childhood, or perhaps because she was not bound by nature to love freedom, after graduating from Fetis College (Tilda Swinton went to secondary school after Sissis graduated), she chose to continue her studies in Cambridge, and graduated from Cambridge in 1983 with a double degree in social politics and English literature, and then joined the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and began her career as a theatricalist, yes, she was not only not interested in "being duchess", Even his own title of nobility was not taken seriously— "Every family has a long history, but our family has never moved its nest, so it has been recorded." ”

In today's media, one of the words often used when describing a female star is sense of luxury, but most of the actresses who have been described with "sense of luxury" are not up to standard, and Tilda Swinton can be said to define the sense of luxury. Why? Because Tilda Swindon's appearance has crossed the boundaries of gender, you may think that she is as unremarkable as Ling Fox Chong at first sight, but after watching it for a long time, you will find that Tilda Swinton exudes an inexplicable temperament from the inside out, which sets off her as if she does not belong to the human world.
Tilda Swinton's unique style
This temperament comes from her unique style, this seemingly neutral dress is not the gender transformation of the past (men wear women's clothing, women wear men's clothing), but transcend the "gender" itself. Tilda Swindon's style of dressing has also been recognized by the media: in 2013 she was named one of the 50 best wearers in 50 years by The Guardian.
Suits wear different effects on the body
For example, many actresses still highlight their proud figure when wearing suits, the so-called dressing is ultimately to set off their own beauty, and Tilda Swinton is different, she almost never wears a suit that can highlight her feminine characteristics, she wears clothes to show the beauty of the clothes themselves, which means that gender will not cause trouble to her style, and naturally she can control more styles. At the same time, this unique style also allows her to control more film and television roles, because she uses herself as a container for the role.

Uncle May has always wondered what Tilda Swinton's current husband, Sandro Kop, should call her ex-husband John Bourne, senior or big brother? According to the age, it is not too much to call an uncle or a great uncle (the difference between the two is 38 years)... But in any case, this also proves the charm of Tilda Swinton: one is 20 years older than her, one is 18 years younger, and now she is about the same age as her.
