Tilda is seriously not of this earth Grin she's amazing

overthemill · 19/06/2014 12:10

Whiney voice! Fucking autocorrect

Suzannewithaplan · 19/06/2014 12:16

I think HBC is very attractive, but Tilda Swinton is in a league of her own

Ludoole · 19/06/2014 12:20

We love her in my house.
She was my now 14yo ds's first crush Grin

motherinferior · 19/06/2014 12:21

Tilda is a goddess.

squoosh · 19/06/2014 12:22

Tilda has that amazing half alien/half human thing down pat. Great red carpet style too!

Mintyy · 19/06/2014 12:29

Tilda is just a leetel bit too much in love with herself though. I find that off-putting.

HBC is stunning.

I don't get the Tilda love though.

DisgruntledAardvark · 19/06/2014 13:09

I think HBC is talented, although I do find the whole ~quirky~ thing a bit rehearsed. Can't get on board with the Tilda love either; especially since finding out she signed the petition against Roman Polanski's arrest (Emma Thompson, for all her OTT luvvie-ness, did take her name off it.)

ComposHat · 19/06/2014 13:18

Good actress, looses points for hanging out with Sam & Dave (not the soul duo, that would impress me no end) but the Morticia Adams cast off clothes and hair like a mad fanny doesn't do a great deal for me.

Sicaq · 19/06/2014 13:21

Googles HBC

She looks fairly average to me?

Bambambini · 19/06/2014 13:32

She's gorgeous. Ethereal someone earlier said - exactly. We are about the same age and I remember seeing her in RWAV and just wanting to look at her face - I could just stare at her. We've got similar hair and are the same age - but that's about it.

She really surprised me in Fight Club, she was always the prim upper class go to for period pieces.

squoosh · 19/06/2014 13:34

I think she's too scruffy to be ethereal.

WowOoo · 19/06/2014 13:46

She's friends with Michael Gove? Shock

I like Tilda too. They are both obviously intelligent, unconventional beauties and both skilled actors. I get your crushes.

My crush would be a French woman that I love so much I'm not sure of her name...Hmm It's not Beatrice Dalle.

PostmanPatAlwaysRingsTwice · 19/06/2014 13:50

Is it the one from Inception and that Woody Allen Midnight film?

PostmanPatAlwaysRingsTwice · 19/06/2014 13:52

Marion Cotillard?

It was Midnight in Paris. I love that film.

DaisyBug1212 · 19/06/2014 13:55

not sure about beautiful but she's fucking awesome, your never unreasonable to think anyone is beautiful!

MajesticWhine · 19/06/2014 14:09

HBC lives quite nearby and always looks an absolute sight. I think she's very cool.

Batmansbuttocks · 19/06/2014 14:10

Gosh I just had to check Google images to make sure I knew who HBC was, and obviously do. She is dog rough to my eyes.

Blimin' good job we all appreciate different looks, Christ on a bike I do not understand the love about her LOOKS on this thread. She is plain in a dishevelled, grimy way. She looks like she smells fusty and looks like she doesn't take her make up off for days and just applies more on top.

My girl crush is Stana Katic - now that is (clean and freshly washed) beauty.

Writerwannabe83 · 19/06/2014 14:10

I find her quite weird looking.

And Kiera Knightley - I find her irritating in every single film she acts in Grin

ExcuseTypos · 19/06/2014 14:16

HBC is a great actress.
But like others have posted, I cannot forgive her though for doing the dirty on Emma Thompson.

SaucyJack · 19/06/2014 14:18

Tilda Swinton more beautiful than HBC?!

There's hope for us all then!

ClaudetteWyms · 19/06/2014 14:19

YABU. While I agree HBC is pretty, she isn't beautiful in my opinion. She's kind of a bit cute and quirky, nothing more.

If we're talking girl crushes, or the most beautiful woman in the world, I raise you Eva Green.

ItsNotUnusualToBe · 19/06/2014 14:21

ComposHat. Thank you for introducing me to the phrase 'hair like a mad fanny'.

themonkeysarewatching · 19/06/2014 14:24

I love her. My husband loves her. She does, I think, look like the sexier, more interesting and more intelligent, darker haired version of Amanda Holden, though. Look at a picture of her. It's spooky.
