Fame runs in family
The daughter of Scottish Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton is following in her mother’s cinematic footsteps after scooping a major award.
The 25-year-old is now being tipped for the top.
Honor Swinton Byrne, whose father is playwright and artist John Byrne, has been honoured at the 2022 Big Screen Awards.
The event, hosted by Screen International, celebrates the
UK cinema industry and was held on Thursday night at The Brewery in London.
Swinton Byrne, who starred in The Eternal Daughter and The Souvenir films, was named breakthrough British act.
She said: “It means a lot. It’s a nice confidence boost to remind you that you’re part of a team and people appreciate what you do.”
Swinton Byrne’s first film role was a non-speaking cameo in her mother’s 2009 film I Am Love as a younger version of her mother’s character, Emma.
