Hilary Swank’s Boxer Rebellion
She's twice won the Best Actress Oscar playing androgynous, distinctly independent roles, showing just how versatile she is, since they're so far in so many ways from who she really is. But is America ready—with the romantic comedy P.S. I Love You—for its next cinematic sweetheart? The Boys Don't Cry star as the girl next door? Put up your dukes, boss, if you ain't.

Given her taut, muscular physique, penchant for sports, and recent soul-searching journey to India following the breakdown of her eight-year marriage, I figured Hilary Swank might actually welcome an invigorating morning yoga session as a way to ease into the “celebrity profile interview.” Always such a hoot.
I propose we meet for a round of sun salutations while taking in the celestial orb rising on the beach in Malibu before settling down to the business at hand. There, I could witness firsthand her incredible strength and flexibility, and we could share a vulnerable moment of tranquility together, concluding with a few Ohms for world peace and inner balance.
I don’t know what herbal tea commercial I thought she was living in, but Hilary Swank had a different idea for her morning.
