Swinton plays characters Lucy and Nancy Mirando in Bong Joon Ho’s highly praised epic, for which Pitt was executive producer.
Doctor Strange star Swinton jokingly labelled her colleague “Bradolph Pittler” as she introduced him to the stage before a screening of the film to a small audience at the Pilton Palais tent in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Joined by other members of the crew and clutching a large toy Okja, she said: “This screening is a mega thing because this film was made by enlightened producers, Brad being one, and without him we would never have been able to.
“Netflix were the only people who would give us the money to do it and we are very grateful to them for that.
“This is the first big screen presentation of the film in the UK and this is where we wanted there to be a premiere.
“Thank you for coming at this late hour.”
“Okja is a Korean woman’s name, like Margaret or Muriel,” said Swinton.
“When you see this film you will look for her everywhere.”
Okja is released in the UK by the streaming service on June 28.
