Hilary Swank Would Like to Patronize You In Person
According to an article reprinted from KP International, two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank loves taking the bus.
“I love taking public transportation when I can and being with people because that’s what I do, that’s my job,” the 32-year-old actress said. “When actors become famous, they become more solitary. But when you start losing touch with people, you lose touch with life.”
Well thank you Hilary Swank! Is it just me, or does this quote have a touch of the “I love to mingle occasionally with the little people, to keep it real, y’all.” Come on! No one likes to take the bus. No one. If she had said that she takes the subway sometimes and had left it at that I would be all “whatever” because, really, in New York just about everyone takes the subway at some point. But that whole “being with the people thing” just makes my eyes roll. And this is from the woman so “in touch” with people that she completely forgot to thank her then-husband, Chad Lowe (the less attractive and successful of the Lowe brothers) when she made her Academy Award acceptance speech for Boys Don’t Cry. Maybe she thanked him the next day on public transportation.
So if I was on a crowded bus and Hilary Swank got on, would I offer her my seat? Why, yes, yes I would. But only because I wouldn’t want her hovering, asking me what I was reading or listening to on my iPod, trying to “stay in touch” with little ole me.
Besides, everyone knows that only C-list celebrities with DUI convictions (read: Lane Garrison) take the bus.
