Tilda Swinton is done with COVID mandates: 'I'm not wearing a mask'

British actress Tilda Swinton is adamant she will not wear a mask on the set of her new project, despite being asked to do so. "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 – people in Ireland might hear it – to wear a mask at all times," she revealed while giving the keynote address at the 2023 South by Southwest Festival (SXSW).

"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," she revealed of her decision. "But it's very nice to see your faces unmasked," the 62-year-old told the Texas audience. Swinton, who previously spoke of her affinity for cinema nine years ago at the festival, revealed that the pandemic had only amplified the film industry.

"In many ways, I feel more than ever that cinema is evermore magic and carpet-like," she said, referencing her remarks years prior that cinema is "magic carpet-like." "We've had different, not battles, but challenges, let's say, that euphemism for battle … 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," she said of the pandemics impact on the industry. "Look at you, I bet you none of you are wearing masks, as well. I mean, who knew that was gonna be possible," she asked.

"I mean in Texas, did people wear masks? I have to ask," she provokingly told the audience. She was met with a room full of laughs. "I don't know," she added. "It's a wide world and people do things differently all over the place." "A couple of years ago, we couldn't imagine sitting in a room like this.

Iran, Saudi Arabia to resume diplomatic relations with China's help

China lowers the chance of armed conflict between the Mideast rivals — both directly and in proxy conflicts around the region.The deal, struck in Beijing this week amid its ceremonial National People’s Congress, represents a major diplomatic victory for the Chinese as Gulf Arab states perceive the United States slowly withdrawing from the wider Middle East. It also comes as diplomats have been trying to end a long war in Yemen, a conflict in which both Iran and Saudi Arabia are deeply entrenched.The two countries released a joint communique on the deal with China, which brokered the agreement as President Xi Jinping was awarded a third five-year term as leader earlier Friday.Xi, whose administration in recent days has relaunched a campaign to challenge the U.S.-led Western liberal order with warnings of "conflict and confrontation," was credited in a trilateral statement with facilitating the talks through a "noble initiative" and having personally agreed to sponsor the negotiations that lasted from Monday through Friday.READ MORE: Sister of Kim Jong Un warns North Korea ready to act against US, SouthVideos showed Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, meeting with Saudi national security adviser Musaad bin Mohammed al-Aiban and Wang Yi, China's most senior diplomat.The statement calls for reestablishing ties and reopening embassies to happen "within a maximum period of two months."
