Hilary Swank: ‘Concentrating is Gonna Make You Sweat!’
Posted by Adam
HILARY Swank concentrated so hard during her first flying lesson, she left covered in sweat.
The actress — who plays famous aviator Amelia Earhart in upcoming movie Amelia — admits her effort in the aircraft caused lots of her perspiration, much to the actress’ dismay.
“I’m not big on sweating, but I found that after two hours of a flight lesson, I would land and my back was drenched,” said Swank. “It wasn’t from fear, but from concentration.”
Hilary, 35, says she felt privileged to play Amelia, who went missing in 1937 after a flight.
“Her life was certainly short,” she said. “But she accomplished so much in that lifetime.
“She was also a reminder to me that you constantly have to look within. You have to also live for yourself and not other people. I want to look at my life and know I’m not missing anything.
“I believe that you can live your life the way you want, find love and experience your dreams. You can have it all. For a short time, Amelia had it all.”
