Hilary Swank is on the cover of the November issue of Marie Claire. In the mag she talks nudity, relationships, and growing up in the trailer park.
Check out some highlights:
On her childhood in the trailer park:
“Growing up poor, I wasn’t like, Ew, I’m in a trailer park├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥you don’t think these things. It’s not until someone puts it in your head that it’s not cool to live in a trailer park, or that trashy people live in trailer parks…And it wasn’t even kids, but their parents, who would say, ‘You can’t hang out with her. You can’t be her friend├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥it’s not allowed.’ And that’s when I started realizing that something about my situation wasn’t normal. Now when I go back to my hometown, a lot of parents are like, ‘We always knew that you would be famous; we’re just so proud of you!’ And I can’t even take the high road. I just look at them and say, ‘Really? It didn’t feel like that.'”
On being a loner:
“For a long time, I was a loner because Chad [Lowe, Swank’s ex-husband] 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.”
On sleeping in the buff:
“Well, my boyfriend’s son is 6 years old, and you wonder at what age you should stop walking around nude. Every morning he comes into the bedroom, and you’re just nude. But he doesn’t look twice; he doesn’t think about it yet. I just toss and turn too much when I sleep, and if I’m in clothes, I get all twisted up.”
Interesting!
Didn’t realize Swank and the Law & Order: SVU star were buddies!
But we think it might be a little weird about the sleeping naked in front of her man’s son. We’re sure the kids mother is just thrilled to hear that. And sure, he doesn’t think about it yet – but he will!
