During a keynote talk at the SXSW Film & TV Festival in Texas on Monday night, the Suspiria actress expressed her delight that audience members no longer had to wear masks to attend such events. Later in the conversation, Swinton shared that she is over safety protocols and has refused to wear a mask to keep herself coronavirus-free before shooting her next movie. "I'm about to shoot a picture in Ireland, and I was told to wear a mask at all times, and I'm not.”
