Hilary Swank Talks About Gaining 15 Pounds for a Role
“I personally have difficulty keeping weight on, and for this role I had to add 15lbs.“My character, a single mom, hadn’t any opportunity to stay fit. For my own needs, I like working out.
“But to gain weight I stopped that. Besides, this was an independent film. Small budget. We filmed long hours, long days. No time to work out
… says Hilary Swank about her role in Conviction.“Normally I only eat until I’m full. On this shoot, I kept eating more. Even when I was full, I’d eat more. With nowhere to go, the weight stays on you.”
