Two-time Oscar winner, Hilary Swank thanks her father for contributing to her figure. Swank states in People Magazine, “I think I’ve been blessed with my father’s speedy metabolism.”  She said that she exercises because it relieves stress, but knows that it’s genes that help to keep the weight off. Her favorite form of exercise according to Swank is “…power Pilates, which I love, love, love.”

Swank first got public attention for her portrayal of Brandon Teena in Boys Don’t Cry which earned her an Academy Award in 1999. Her second Oscar was in 2003 for Million Dollar Baby. She will next appear in the much anticipated movie, Iron Man .
