10 Movie Stars You Didn't Know Were Completely Weird In Real Life

10. Sleeping In A Glass Box - Tilda Swinton

Tilda Swinton is without a doubt one of the finest performers to have emerged from the UK and she has an Academy Award and a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Karen Crowder in Michael Clayton to prove it. The fact that Swinton is perhaps most famous for playing weird and eccentric characters comes from her own rather unusual life. From being a living work of art for Joanne Scanlan, where she slept in a glass display for the public to view, through to the fact that she didn't speak for the first five years of her childhood (when she had plans to kill her brother), her personal life often sounds every bit as eccentric as her on-screen personas. Swinton herself describes her method for striking a balance between work and family life as "comfort with mayhem, wildness beneath the surface" - it's an ethos which is certainly reflected in her performances.
