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!
