Hilary Swank Gained 15 Pounds For Role In Conviction

Hilary Swank is going all out for her role in the movie Conviction, and has even put on 15 pounds to fit into her character.

Said Hilary:

├óΓé¼┼ôI personally have difficulty keeping weight on, and for this role I had to add 15 lbs. My character, a single mom, hadn’t any opportunity to stay fit. For my own needs, I like working out.├óΓé¼┼ô

To gain the weight, Hilary did the obvious — eat more and not exercise:

“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. 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.”

It sounds like it was almost a challenge for her to gain the weight, so it will probably take no time to lose it when the time comes!
