Do You Know This Academy Award-Winning Actress and British Talent?

Her mother is an Academy Award-winning star and one of Britain’s finest acting talents – but do you know who she is?

Seen attending the Eternity London premiere on Monday, this beauty, 26, looked every inch the budding celebrity as she graced the red carpet.

Wearing a black t-shirt layered with a pair of tailored, loose-fitting trousers, the upcoming actress looked effortlessly chic at the glitzy event.

She layered her black ensemble under a long black fur coat and slipped into a pair of leather flats.

To complete her red carpet look, the nepo baby toted around her belongings in a large black handbag.

But, can you guess which Hollywood star is her mother?

Honor Swinton Byrne’s mother is Academy Award-winning actress Tilda Swinton, 65.

Tilda and her ex, the late playwright John Byrne are also parents to 28-year-old Xavier Swinton Byrne, who is Honor’s twin brother.

As the daughter of actress Tilda, Honor has already enjoyed some high-profile roles.

Now, she is set for success after landing a role in the new Prime Video miniseries A Very Royal Scandal.

The actress, who is set to play the role of Princess Beatrice in the new series, told British Vogue that she had ‘buggered up’ her audition for the role.

She told the publication: ‘I was so nervous. I didn’t think I looked like her. I was like, I don’t know – I’m not really what they’re looking for and really kind of b*****ed up, b*****ed up that audition.’

Right after her audition, she met her boyfriend at a nearby pub for a pint and told him through tears ‘It’s okay I didn’t want it anyway’.

However, just a few days later, she received a phone call saying she had landed the role.

Honor landed her first film role at the age of 11 in a non-speaking cameo in her mother’s 2009 film I Am Love as a younger version of her mother’s character, Emma.

Her first starring role was in The Souvenir, a semi-autobiographical film directed by Joanna Hogg in which she stars as Julie, a film school student who embarks on a relationship with an older man.

She also starred in the final season of The Crown as a student named Lola Airdale-Cavendish-Kincaid, a clever stand-in for the aristocratic women Prince William was linked to before dating Kate Middleton.

 

Last year, Honor revealed that she ‘owns’ being a nepo baby and is ‘grateful’ for the opportunities she has had.

Honor, who starred in The Souvenir alongside her mother, admitted that she ‘was considered’ for the role due to her connections but has since landed other roles for her talent.

She told The Times: ‘I feel like it’s very important to own it [nepotism]. I completely admit and am grateful for the fact that I was considered for The Souvenir because of my connections.’

‘But at the same time, I continue to act and get jobs because I have skill. I’m still doing it.’

Honor explained how she was cast by director Joanna, who is a friend of her mother’s while working as a florist’s assistant in Inverness.

She explained: ‘I met Joanna in Caffè Nero in Berwick-upon-Tweed. I didn’t have a clue that she was sussing me out for the part. From what I understand she had auditioned so many people and hadn’t quite seen what she wanted. She saw the self-consciousness of 18-year-old me and, yeah, I got it.’

The beauty gushed that it wasn’t daunting starring opposite her famous mother but actually ‘really fun’.

As well as her acting and modelling career, Honor completed a four-year psychology degree at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.

Honor’s brother Xavier is also in the movie business but works with the props department.

Tilda and Honor’s father John split up after 14 years in 2005 but continued to live together while Tilda worked on various blockbusters.

An unconventional living arrangement, the pair even co-habited while Tilda moved on to her next lover, Sandro Kopp, who was 18 years her junior.

John sadly passed in November 2023 at the age of 83-years-old.
