Hilary Swank, the Oscar-winning actress, recently shared her experience of embracing motherhood at the age of 48 after giving birth to twins last year. In an exclusive interview, Swank expressed immense joy and excitement about her new role as a first-time mom. She described the experience as even more fulfilling and extraordinary than she had anticipated.
Swank, now 49, welcomed a boy and a girl with her husband Philip Schneider in April 2023. The couple had tied the knot in 2018. The actress revealed her pregnancy during an appearance on 'Good Morning America' in October 2022 and later disclosed the names of her twins, Aya and Ohm, on Valentine's Day this year.
Despite being an older mother, Swank dismissed the notion that age affects the exhaustion that comes with motherhood. She emphasized that fatigue is a common experience for all new mothers, regardless of age.
Aside from her personal life, Swank is actively promoting her new film 'Ordinary Angels,' directed by Jon Gunn. The movie narrates the true story of Sharon Stevens, a hairdresser from Louisville, Ky., played by Swank, who rallies her community to support a widowed father, Ed Schmitt, portrayed by Alan Ritchson, and his daughter Michelle, in need of a liver transplant.
Swank shared that she resonated with the film's message of kindness and emphasized the importance of living a life guided by compassion. She highlighted the significance of treating others with the same respect and kindness that one desires for themselves, believing that it fosters a culture of empathy and goodwill.
