Hilary Swank

Hilary Swank, the Oscar-winning actress, recently shared her experiences as a mother of twins and her excitement about her new film 'Ordinary Angels' at the premiere in New York.

In April 2023, Swank and her husband Philip Schneider welcomed twins, daughter Aya and son Ohm. Swank acknowledged the challenges of sleepless nights with twins but also expressed a positive outlook, recognizing that this phase is temporary.

Swank mentioned her anticipation of the twins becoming more mobile as they are currently in the crawling stage. She shared the special meanings behind her babies' names, with Aya inspired by a courageous Syrian refugee they met in Lebanon and Ohm symbolizing unity through the universal sound.

'Ordinary Angels' features Swank as Sharon Stevens, a hairdresser in Kentucky who finds purpose in helping a widower and his daughters. The film portrays themes of faith, miracles, and ordinary angels, offering an inspiring narrative.

The movie also stars a talented cast including Tamala Jones, Amy Acker, and Alan Ritchson, and is directed by Jon Gunn. 'Ordinary Angels' is set to hit theaters soon, promising a heartwarming story for audiences to enjoy.

Swank's reflections on motherhood and her dedication to her new film showcase her multifaceted talents and commitment to meaningful storytelling. As she navigates the joys and challenges of raising twins, Swank continues to inspire with her grace and resilience.
