On October 26, 2018, the premiere of the horror "Suspiria" directed by Luca Guadagnino will take place. One of the main roles in the project is played by British actress Tilda Swinton. Among her colleagues in the credits is a newcomer to the film industry Lutz Ebersdorf (Lutz Ebersdorf). At the press conference of the Venice Film Festival, he spoke to the media. At the same time, Tilda's fans said that the role of Lutz was probably performed by her. The director of the film denied this.

In the end, Tilda admitted that she and Lutz are one and the same person. The skillful work of makeup artists turned the 57-year-old actress into a decrepit old man. It turns out that the director asked Tilda to play not just a doctor, but an actor who will play the doctor.

Tilda Swinton is a master of reincarnation. Naturally, fans expected a "trick" and carefully peered into the faces of the characters of the film about the German ballet school, which the real witches chose for their sabbath.

In particular, questions have arisen about Lutz Ebersdorf, who plays the old Doctor Klemperer. The 82-year-old man was not suitable for the role of a newcomer to the world of cinema. However, the director said that any suspicions that both characters are played by Tilda are groundless.

Today, on October 12, Tilda gave an interview in which the question of her participation in the film "Suspiria" was also raised. The actress answered a provocative question about Lutz 's personality like this:

Tilda loves this kind of surprise. Perhaps the director deliberately concealed this information in order to raise the degree of attention to the presentation.

It is noteworthy that there is a Lutz page on the IMDb portal. It says that he was born on February 15, 1936 in Munich. "Suspiria" is his first pen test as an actor.

At this point, there's no reason not to trust Tilda's words. In all likelihood, the actress really performed two female and one male roles in the picture.

In order to turn into 82-year-old Dr. Josef Kemperer, the actress had to wear prosthetics, false teeth and even a fake penis. In addition, she practiced the old man's gait for a long time.

Mark Kulyer, who worked with the actress in the framework of the Grand Budapest project, told about how he thickened Tilda's neck. He even managed to change the geometry of the actress' face, make her jaw more powerful, and enlarge her cheeks.

Before each day of filming, Tilda was made up for more than 4 hours. Despite all these difficulties, the actress is pleased with the result.
