I feel like Tilda Swinton rarely shows off her 18-years-younger lover. If I was a mysterious and wonderful alien like Tilda, and I was 51 years old in Earth years, I would show off my 33-year-old lover constantly. These are new photos of Tilda and Sandro Kopp in New York City yesterday. The last time we had photos of Tilda and Sandro together was last October! As far as I know, Tilda usually doesn’t bring Sandro to her premieres or to any of the awards shows. Sandro and Tilda have been together since 2008 – Tilda either abandoned her relationship with her baby-daddy John Byrne, or she and Byrne and Kopp lived together for a time in a bizarre situation “for the kids”. Some of you dispute the latter version – and Tilda never really comments about her situation, so I don’t really know. I’ve heard that John Byrne has a new partner and that he and Tilda co-parent effectively and quietly.
In previous photos, I’ve thought Sandro was cute, but in these pics… I think he has a strong resemblance to Tom Hardy. Right? And it’s not just the giant beard – it’s just his face. So… basically, I would hit it. Of course, I kind of want to go to bed with Tilda too. I wonder if they’re looking for a third? Because I would be into that.
In other Tilda news, she’s probably coming to the Cannes Film Festival this year. She’s in Wes Anderson’s new film, Moonrise Kingdom, and it was just accepted for competition. Will she bring Sandro?
PS… I love that they’re not holding hands. Tilda will not hold hands with her lover, Earthlings!!!

Actually, I saw Tilda on a TV interview a few months ago, in which she strongly denied ever being polyamorous, and that the father of her children is just that and nothing more.
Tilda has said this numerous times and has stated that the fact that people think she’s in some sort of threesome living situation is hilarious. She said something along the lines of “my ex-husband and I have a great friendship and love our children very much and are still in each others lives and I’m even friends with his girlfriend”. I think thats awesome and seems drama free. If I happen to get married then divorced I hope it ends up this way.
I want to braid it!
Tilda is a very interesting individual 🙂
What is it about her? She is so freaking awesome…
I think her out-of-this-world-vibe has something to do with it 😉
She looks like David Bowie in his prime. Sigh.
Very refreshing
He has man boobs.
The reason for that may be Tilda’s ‘treatments’. See girls, have all the (safe) fun you can while you are young, cause one day the well will run ‘dry’. lol
That’s what I was thinking! He’d be hot other than the Moobs!
The reason we seldom see him is that he’s Amish and they’re not allowed to use modern transportation so by the time he arrives at an event, the paps are gone.
By the way, you can tell he’s “alien Amish” because they all wear rubber shoes without laces. Just so you know.
Love it, Rita:)
He needs that hat and he’s straight out of “Witness.”
You crack me up.
I’m sorry, but I can’t stand this woman or her “look”.
For me, it isn’t that I can’t stand her. I think she’s a decent actress and I don’t know much about her personally.
The thing I find eye-rollingly-vomit-inducing is the over-hyped, “she’s an alien”, internet worship of her. Of all the internet driven kool-aid, this particular batch just seems so overdone.
As for the woman herself. Meh. She’s probably okay and, maybe, funnny and/or likeable. Loved the blue outfit she wore at Academy awards, I think.
Kara,
I can understand your feelings. I don’t worship Tilda but I appreciate her superb acting and that she doesn’t give a flying fig about what people say about her.
She has a very interesting style and always brings what she wants to the table. If given a choice of three actor’s I want to sit with, have a drink and a chat, she’d be one.
There might be an interesting/handsome man under there. I can’t tell.
I’m not a hand holder either. It always feels weird to me to be completely honest.
Agreed. And also saying “I love you” every time you hang up the phone and 80 more times in the day. Just an action. Just words. Loses authenticity and becomes just something you’re supposed to do.
I love Tilda. I saw her being interviewed on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, she was surprisingly funny, charming lady.
i shouldn’t love her… she’s a celebrity AND born into privilege. yet i love her.
51?! Holy cow. This woman is awesome.
Why is the age difference pointed out so flagrantly? We don’t do that when the men are DECADES older than their hired pieces!
Yeah we do.
We totally do. See Clooney threads… then there is CZJ and her elderly husband.
I kind of stopped on that one when he got sick and then she got sick but it is what it is.
I love her a lot, but that man is dressed like a giant 4 year old.
Aw this is a fun game. Hasidic Jew or Brooklyn Hipster? The answer may surprise you.
Haven’t read the article, but just wanted to say, “Damn! He’s cute! I’d like one of those for me.”
His face is cute…then somebody had to point out manboobs…but he’s still handsome. And somehow she makes it seem not as creepy.
I love her sfm.
Princess Charlene looks just like Tilda
with thar new haircut
I think she’s cool shit just b’cuz she’s so damn confident and seems to know herself and comfortable in her own skin. Now, the taste in beard-boy is another matter. Perhaps the bushy beard feels good b/w the legs – something tells me he goes down her often. Actually that’s kind-of a gross visual.
She is sooooooooo not attractive, don’t get that at all.
And I normally love beards, but I don’t like his. Maybe cause it looks too scraggly. He looks too homeless.
They both creep me out.
Tom Hardy – first impression I got too. Normally not a fan of the (very straggly) beard but in this case, yum. I would expect no less of the divine Swinton.
The FIRST thing I thought when I saw the pics was, “TOM?!” lol so I smiled when I saw you also saw the resemblance. Tom is also in this 30’s so I flipped out, hahaha.
I just think he kind of looks like a terrorist and he’s sloppy. I have to admit I don’t know of him outside this article and picture, so maybe he’s looked better? She isn’t conventionally beautiful, but she’s well put together and interesting. I don’t care if he’s 18 years younger: from this picture I’d say she could do much better.
He doesn’t look that much younger.
I remember seeing him with her at the SAGs..
He had an Art Show in NYC, Brad Pitt went to see it. There was a wonderful painting he did of Tilda. Wish I could find the link. He is a talented artist.
Did anyone see Adam??? strange film with Tilda and ewan mcgregor…lots of sex and nudity…I quite liked it. She is an amazing actress
He definitely looks like Tom Hardy
To paraphrase this great Italian movie she made, she IS “Love” so anything she does is okay by me. Do they trade clothes, do you think?
“Sono Amore” – “I am Love” is a great and profound film!
She almost looks normal here. How disappointing. My love for her is totally based on “The Man Who Fell to Earth” since Bowie has all but disappeared. *sigh*
I HATE the beard. Finally someone to take some of my beard hate away from Brad Pitt. He is one step from homeless mooby land. HATE HATE HATE scraggly beards.
but her shoes! those shoes are amazing! pure Tilda. They’re like a modernized menswear inspired crucible-era witch’s boot.
51? Looking good Tilda! She’s aging well naturally. I seriously thought she was in her early 40’s or late 30’s.
He looks like Christopher Eccelston.
He’s very handsome, even with that giant beard. I would expect nothing less for Tilda 🙂

um, yeah, he’s hot, and a fabulous, fabulous painter. google him and swoon.
Sandro Kopp reminds me of my gorgeous Austrian-Italian ex who has shoulder-length dark haired, olive-skin, and deep dark eyes.
Kopp is gorgeous: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1747713/, and kudos to Swinton.
Sandro would be the biggest nobody without Tilda. The funniest thing is how hard he is trying to be Tilda’s Ex. Seriously dude shave the beard and drop the attitude (Ive met him a number of times hes beyond obnoxious)
