Tilda Swinton has undergone more on-screen transformations than perhaps any actor of her generation. CNN reports that the Oscar winner's latest stunt has still managed to catch Hollywood by surprise.
Swinton has laid to rest months of internet speculation by reluctantly revealing that she is in fact the 82-year-old male actor Lutz Ebersdorf. Ebersdorf had previously been credited as playing Dr. Josef Klemperer in the upcoming movie "Suspiria."
The actress told The New York Times, four hours of make-up was required every day to turn Swinton into an octogenarian man.
According to the movie's make-up artist, Mark Coulier, Swinton even insisting on having fake genitalia made and attached.
Swinton also plays Madame Blanc in the remake of the 1977 Italian horror flick, released later in October.
