Hilary Swank says she has ‘Respect’ for women’s bodies

• Hilary Swank has improved as a result of her pregnancy.
• She was amazed by the wonder of pregnancy during a guest appearance.
• Swank is getting closer to meeting her babies.

The Alaska Daily actress, 48, said she was amazed by the wonder of pregnancy during a guest appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Monday.

“I feel like women are superheroes,” Swank said, adding that she’s now at the 27-week mark. “What our bodies do? I have such, like, a whole newfound respect. I mean, I love women, I’ve always loved women, but now, I’m like, ‘Wow, we can do this!’ ”

Swank is getting closer to meeting her babies now that she is in her third trimester and is putting some of the unwanted elements of pregnancy—and its related cravings—behind her.

“The first 16 weeks I had a lot of morning sickness,” she told host James Corden and fellow guest Gwyneth Paltrow. “All I wanted was fruit. It’s not that exciting I know, it’s not like pickles dipped in peanut butter, but a lot of fruit . To the point that one of my costars when they found out I was pregnant, they were like, “Oh that’s why. That’s why you eat 10 pomegranates a day, 50 pears.’ ”

“I just couldn’t eat anything more than fruit,” she added. “I know I needed that protein so I threw some peanut butter in with my apples.”
