Hilary Swank isn’t your typical Hollywood actress. In fact, Swank is very real and genuine and it shows on the latest issue of Marie Claire. Hilary poses for the November cover and dishes on her life without her ex husband, her girlfriends and fitness. Check out some of the highlights after the jump.
Apparently peeps think Hilary Swank is a loner. What are her thoughts on that? Swank says, “For a long time, I was a loner because [my ex-husband Chad Lowe] was my best friend, and we were really happy just hanging out, he and I. I think it was maybe five years ago that I realized how important my friends were to me, and I realized they were a big part of my letting go. When I got divorced three years ago, I needed them more than ever. I have really good girlfriends. Mariska Hargitay is my best friend.”
So what has she learned from being in love, marrying AND divorcing at a young age? “Going through a divorce is horrible. It’s dreams crumbling; it’s your family, your whole life, all of your security, dissolving. Having been with Chad so young – we met when I was 18- it was all I knew. It is really hard. I certainly don’t wish it on anyone. I feel more than anything right now that age brings so much clarity. You might take a step back, but then you learn from that step back. I’ve learned a lot from my downs, as well as my ups. Right now, I am in a good place.”
When asked about not being a girly-girl, she said, “I don’t know how people define girly-girl, but for me, the amount of pampering I do is: I try to get a massage every other week—just stretch and get everything moving. I don’t like manicures, but I love a pedicure. The whole ritual of putting your foot in a footbath, with the massage and just relaxing for a second—I really like that…”
And of course the question we are all dying to know, how does Swank stay in shape?
“…I love working out! I started swimming when I was 3 years old. I was a gymnast, a swimmer, a basketball player…To me, working out is literally like eating a meal or drinking water or breathing. If I don’t, I just feel like crap. Not physically, like, Ew, what’s hanging over my pants? But I just feel really ornery. I start punching actors. Not hard—I don’t get mean. I do Krav Maga, which is Israeli martial arts; I do pilates.”
