    I have a copy of a film called Female Perversions. It’s terrible. Every single cliché for low budget 90s supposedly arty films that just happen to feature boobs heavily. It’s truly awful. But it does have a young Tilda Swinton wearing pencil skirts and being a femme fatale… She was a stunning woman, even back then.

    #1 living actor, maybe. If we include dead people, I think David Bowie wins.

    In fact, how about this bit of fanfic: If David Bowie is an alien, he came from the same planet as Nikola Tesla, who was also an alien. And so it was an "in-joke" to have Bowie portray Tesla in The Prestige.

    She is maybe the most beautiful and charming creature I've EVER seen.

    I love her since forever, and I don't mean just physical love, it's real worshipping. I'd give away my right arm just to sit at a table with her and listening to her talking.

    Tilda Swinton was always sexy, both mind and body. Soul too. May this lady continue to thrive is all I ask.

    Check her in Only Lovers Left Alive (2015). Fabulous chemistry with Tom Hiddleston.

    So wait, she was a full adult in 1986? How old is she exactly....?

    Mother of god, she's 65? She looks 20 years younger than that. She is aging incredibly well. I would have thought she was 50 at the most!

    Her face screams aristocracy. It's funny how European aristocracy with all the intermarriages formed their own genotype.

    That’s David Bowie. I refuse to believe otherwise.
