Hilary Swank Gets Fat for the Big Screen

French Women Don't Get Fat, but
Hilary Swank does gain weight - for a movie role.
The double Oscar winner will star - and pack on the pounds - in the big-screen adaptation of the best-seller,
E! Online reports.
The Mireille Guiliano tome is a nonfiction how-to guide, but the film will take some creative license for the silver screen. Swank, who will gain up to 30 pounds and also produce the flick, will play a champagne company manager working with whippet-thin, highly metabolized French gals who down bread, wine and pastries with no obvious consequences.
This is yet another body-transformation role for Swank, 34, who picked up bookend Oscars for
Boys Don't Cry and
Million Dollar Baby. Is she going to do the hat trick here? Probably not. -
