Did anyone else not recognise Tilda Swinton?


I was looking out for her throughout the film and by the end I figured that she must have just had a small part that I missed. The only person I associated her with was the ginger property-developer. Then I looked on here and saw who she really was. Amazing what a change of hair colour can do, eh?

How do you like them apples?

My favorite Tilda Swinton image reference is that of the Ice Queen In "The Chronicles Of Narnia". Her role here really threw me...I didn't "see" her right away.

I find Tilda Swinton generally attractive but in this movie she looked like exactly the type of woman I'm attracted to! I was shocked when I found out it was her. Amazing!

I would've NEVER guessed Ginger was played by Tilda Swinton! Just saw this last night and was BLOWN away but this terrific movie!

I agree. I was totally floored when I saw her and thought "Who is this gorgeous actress???" and then floored a second time when I saw the closing credits and learned that it was Tilda Swinton.

I think I did although right now I don't remember what scene she was in, it's been a long time since I last saw this.

Actually I knew about all actresses since all been mentioned in opening credits, but could not figure out where was Tilda Swinton and completely forgot about her, until I visited after movie IMDB forums to find out it was the last lover, usually I am not very fond of her look, but she looked amazing in this movie, unrecognizable.

That, and she looks good with long hair. She was very likely wearing a wig, however.

Tilda Swinton is proud of her androgynous looks and I have never seen her in a film in which I didn't recognize her. I knew she was in the film, and I finally could see her behind the long dark wig and makeup. She looked great, and it was a fun role.
