Julio Torres Instagram – There are many stories about celebrity couples who met and fell in romantic love while making a film together, then there are these two. Introducing Them’s latest cover stars, or rather, cover companions: Julio Torres and Tilda Swinton.
Swinton and Torres (@spaceprincejulio) are an example of a platonic, but no less romantic, love story. Through the film “Problemista,” a surreal A24 comedy about an aspiring toymaker from El Salvador who navigates many of the same struggles immigrants face everyday in New York City, the two co-stars forged a friendship that is a sort of hall-of-mirrors version of their on-screen duo.
Writer Mathew Rodriguez (@mathewkrodriguez) witnessed this dynamic firsthand while speaking with Swinton and Torres for Them’s first spring cover. The duo share candid moments from working on “Problemista” together, what inspired Torres to write and direct the film, and how this wild, weird, and beautiful queer friendship formed. Read the full cover story at the link in our bio.
