Hillary Swank’s tough training
For her latest role in Uber’s competition, Hillary Swank has the experience to burn. She worked hard for the film “Million Dollar Baby,” which included a tough, muscular transformation.
To play Maggie, a waitress-turned-boxer, she was instructed to get bulky for the part. She gained 19 pounds of muscle! Her workouts consisted of two and a half hours of weightlifting and two and a half hours of boxing six days per week. She was so engrossed in her role that she risked ignoring a potentially hazardous blister on her foot that had a staph infection. Yikes.
