10 actors who played opposite gender roles flawlessly (With Pictures)

7. Tilda Swinton

Tilda Swinton is the pale face that brings to life the Queen of the Ice with simmering redness of rage brewing inside her. When she is not acting, she is a fashion muse, and experiments with gorgeously outrageous hairstyles. She was spotted playing the role on stage where she switched from female to male, and was selected to portray the title role in the 1992 movie based on Virginia Woolf’s novel, where she plays to the tee a man who lives for centuries and wakes up in a female one morning. In the same movie, Quentin Crisp toyed with gender roles as he was cast in the role of Queen Elizabeth.
