At the 77th Venice Film Festival, actress Tilda Swinton, who was awarded a lifetime achievement award, has always given people the impression of being aloof and icy. In front of the camera, she often appears proud and confident, with her iconic short blonde hair exuding a commanding presence. It’s as if Tilda Swinton is an empress who remains impassive regardless of joy or anger. However, this “Ice Queen” actually has a smiling side, but only in front of those close to her!
Revealing who the man is that can melt the iceberg for you, let’s first revisit the zero-degree ice feeling of this iceberg actress! Tilda, who is 59 years old this year, is a descendant of one of the three ancient Scottish families. With noble bloodline, she once attended the private aristocratic school West Heath, where she was classmates with Princess Diana. The talented Tilda, a top student, graduated from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Politics. Despite being a top student, she is passionate about the performing arts. After graduation, she joined a theater troupe and later became a powerful actress in the film industry, winning numerous awards over the years and being a regular at international film awards and festivals.
Tilda was once in a relationship with Scottish playwright John Byrne, and in 1997 she gave birth to twins for him, but the two separated in 2003. The following year, Tilda began a passionate relationship with German artist Sandro Kopp, who is the protagonist of this article, the man who can make the Ice Queen smile!
Sandro Kopp is 42 years old this year, 17 years younger than Tilda. Despite their significant age difference, the couple has been dating for many years and still maintains a loving relationship, making them one of the most representative couples in the international film industry. Sandro Kopp is a talented painter, known for his delicate and emotional brushstrokes in depicting different facial expressions of people. Of course, Tilda has been his muse and inspiration for many years.
Sandro Kopp is easy-going, passionate, humorous, and talented, complementing the cool and proud Tilda. Sandro often accompanies Tilda to events. When the dignified and commanding Tilda walks back to Sandro, she instantly transforms into a girlish appearance, laughing at every move he makes, showing a completely different side from what is seen on camera!
Even though she always appears superior in front of the camera and holds a prestigious position in the international film industry, Tilda’s life with her boyfriend is no different from that of any other couple. When they go out, they cuddle up to each other, chat and laugh, and often dress in understated couple outfits, showing their deep affection for each other.
What’s even more interesting is that Tilda actually has a soft spot for Sandro’s full beard, often caught unconsciously reaching out to play with her boyfriend’s beard roots. The sweet gestures of a young girl actually come from the hands of the Ice Queen, this stark contrast is definitely eye-opening, and at the same time, deeply admiring Sandro’s “ice-breaking ability”!
