“It’s deeply irresponsible,” one user blasted Hilary Swank who had just welcomed twins

“P.S. I Love You” star Hilary Swank became a mother to twins at 48 and talked about how she consciously chose to have her children at her age.

The A-lister divulged two reasons that made her wait for the “right time” to get pregnant. Despite this, many people have expressed complete disdain and disapproval of her decision to have children at her age.

The star has been labeled “irresponsible” for her choice, and many have expressed concern for her babies being born to “such an old” mother.

Hilary Ann Swank is a globally known award-winning actress born in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1974. Since her breakout role in “The Next Karate Kid,” Swank has won several awards for her acting ability. The “I Am Mother” star has achieved 60 wins and 48 nominations thus far.

Swank is most known for her portrayal of Maggie Fitzgerald in “Million Dollar Baby,” which won her the Best Performance in a Leading Role award at the 2005 Oscars. The “Conviction” talent is also best known for her noteworthy portrayal of Brandon Teena in the critically acclaimed “Boys Don’t Cry.” Swank won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for that film.

Coming from humble beginnings, Swank grew up in a trailer park and lived in a car before getting her first role. The actress learned about classism very young, resulting in her feeling like an “outsider.” Finding solace in book and film characters that were “outcasts” was one driving factor behind Swank’s desire to become an actress.

As a child, she struggled to come to grips with understanding why she was treated differently from other kids simply because of where she came from. Though the star found it challenging to deal with, she had her mother by her side. To raise her, Swank’s mother, Judy, gave up her dreams of becoming a dancer and an athlete.

In an interview with BBC’s “100 Women” series, the “Boys Don’t Cry” actress spoke about how her mother always believed in her and gave her the gift of ambition and perseverance, which Swank stated was the most significant contribution she ever received from her:

“My mom just believed in me. She gave me the greatest gift I think you can give a child, and that is that gift of belief, and it made me believe in myself, and it made me want to work hard, and it made me want to persevere. Now at 41, I can recognize that that is probably the biggest gift I will ever be given.”

After her parents split up, Swank, along with her mother, packed up their stuff and headed for Los Angeles with only $75. Swank was excited about the venture because it was done to kickstart her acting career.

The mother and daughter lived in their car, and Swank’s mother would stand at payphones all day with quarter rolls phoning agents to meet her daughter. Eventually, as their lives progressed, Swank landed her role in “The Next Karate Kid” when she was 18.

According to Swank, she was just a “girl from a trailer park who had a dream” and worked super hard to accomplish all she has today. As one of Hollywood’s most esteemed and praised actresses, she has accomplished feats that some spend a lifetime trying to achieve.

Aside from her acting talent, the star is known for her advocacy and charity work. In 2014, Swank took a break...
