Why Hollywood Won't Cast Hilary Swank Anymore
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- Hillary Swank may have started her career in smaller roles like The Next Karate Kid and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but when she started taking on riskier ones -- like as Brandon Teena in the groundbreaking film Boys Don’t Cry -- she started gaining international recognition for her immense talent.
Swank also won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Teena. She continued her success with another Oscar win for her performance as Maggie Fitzgerald in Million Dollar Baby.
Swank continued to have success in the 2000s with movies like Freedom Writers and P.S. I Love You, but the following decade has seen her popularity wane. So, why doesn’t Hollywood cast this talented Oscar-winning actor anymore?

She has already won 2 academy awards by the age of 30 years old. ,she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.there are many actors who have died,never having the honor to win An ACADEMY Award.
Yep
Dude Al Pacino is 80 YEARS OLD
. The greatest actor ever has only one 1 Oscar. Does he have anything to prove too? No. Oscar is just bullshit man
Except Academy Awards are political bullshit, and there's no honor in winning them.
@@Izaan2810 Exactly. It's just a bunch of Hollywood self congratulations. It means nothing.
That's the point. A lot of actors with way more memorable and honorable careers.
She probably said no to Weinstein.
Bruh..
Exactly!!
You know, that was the first thing I thought on seeing the title of this video. It wouldn't surprise me.
Many did say no.
The implication is that most said yes, and that is NOT true.
Or maybe he said no to her
"She won two Oscars two quickly"
What a joke of a reason to not cast haha
The joke is on the Oscar community
What a joke this channel is to not even use proper spelling of too*
Watched her in "I am Mother" recently, brilliant film and she did a brilliant performance, she deserves more roles.

Pp?
yea i watched her in Iron Jawed Angels
Just came here after watching that movie. She's been in quite a few good movies actually, not just mediocre stuff.
I think her performance in I am mother was pretty bad
Her time has come and gone.
Tom Hanks won two Oscars in two years and he seemed to do ok.
i fucking love tom hanks
yea but he's TOM fucking HANKS
okay well Christoph Waltz won two oscars with one year apart.
Okay then explain Cristoph Waltz. he won an oscar 2 times right after eachother, explain that
His butt didn't get fat.
Sounds like you easily discredit all her hard work and talent to concluding that she’s just lucky. Crap to the core!
She's not lucky. She's a mixture of two qualities of a great actress: passion and skill.
Above all, she is an actress, not a star.. So she does not beat Hollywood system
@@deliapasqualini970 she is a star
@@deliapasqualini970 or she was
So there people out there that are just jealous of her being a two-time oscar winner?
WHAT ELSE is fricken NEW?!?
What a complete load of nonsense. This "journalist" thinks he's clever but he couldn't analyse his way out of a loose pair of undies.
Truuuu broooo
Or a wet paper bag.. 🙄🤮🤮
Exactly she’s just picky about what she does I am mother was amazing
The reason why Hollywood won't cast Hilary swank anymore is because she doesn't want to act as much as she did. She wants to live a normal life and take care of her father. Not to mention, her fiancé just left her when they were about to get married so yeah, I don't blame her for not wanting to be famous anymore.
I can see that.
Yeah. People like Hilary swank, Hayden Christensen and others know that Hollywood can screw people over. Not to mention, they have other interests too.
+EMAN67 (Movies,politics,commentary) It's because of the clickbait title of these pieces. They should be called "Why you don't see _____ in movies recently" or something. A lot of the reasons turn out to be: "They're doing something else", "They've taken a break for family", "They're doing tv/stage acting" etc.
To be fair, there are actors who are irrelevant and are trying to be relevant again. Ie: Eddie Murphy, David Spade, Val Kilmer, Tara Reid, Lauren Graham, Fran drescher and Chris tucker.
+Rhymfre Hayden Christensen 😂 we're talking about actors here not people that excel at pretending to be petulant teenagers
She is hot I don't care what Kevin says
Are we prepared to let the Kevins of the world decide anything for us? Anything at all? We don't even give him full internet access.
Lol
See what u did there
thumbs up
Oh my GODDDDD
P.S. I Love You I thought was one of Hilary Swank's best. She was amazing in that movie. Hollywood shouldn't have given up on her. She's still got potential.
Crystal Guel This movie is the best. I loved it before my husband past, and I love it even more now that he has past. She showed exactly what I felt and feel even if it's been 2 + yrs. She puts her whole emotions in her caricature.
There are more important things in life than Hollywood.
Don't be self-righteous.
Then quit watching.
exactly these people remind of of those magazines you get at Walmart with all that bullshit about actors smh
ofcourse if film industry would replinesh we won't die
+bobbelonie Scientist, doctors and engineers who help us.
i think she s a strong woman and know what she wants to do
"Strong woman" LOL..
"Jumbo Shrimp " LOL...
"Large Fries" LOL...
C Mendoza Good try
Hexendrucken
Good try
How dare they insult such a phenomenal actress! Ive seen her in so many good films/roles. Im always moved & impressed by her performances.
I just gotta say, I really appreciate the video breakdown with times that you put in the description. Thank you :)
She has always been an excellent actress, and after seeing this, I respect her even more.
Best actress I've seen my entire life. I love her movies. She deserve more Oscar's 👍
I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
She probably has enough money that she doesn't need to work and only looks for roles that interest her. I saw her in You're Not You and I thought it was a great movie based on her performance. I think sometimes people are looking for reasons to say Hollywood doesn't want her but in reality maybe she doesn't want Hollywood right now ;)
Yea, definitely !
Ikr. Why bother working anymore when you have made a ton of money already?
One film making prob set for 5year 😂😂😂
Wendy Testaburger i feel like she doesn’t even do the movies for money like she genuinely loves doing movies and takes things from it no matter what it pays
Yaaas!
She's great, I don't care what the "Oscars" say. If she makes commercials I'd watch it.
🗣 She should of won an Oscar for Freedom Writers ‼️
maybe she is satisfied after winning 2 oscars and does not have the same interest for acting.
It must cost more to cast an Oscar winner that is all I can think of the studios will cast megastars for that kind of money but winning an Oscar does not mean you are a megastar to them.
age and beauty still count a lot in hollywood.
No I think she just selects projects she wants to work on more carefully. Like a good movie every two years is better than crappy 10 every year
+Natalie B But it builds more credibility. Take a look at Michelle Williams for example.
Natalie B I never said you doubted. I just wanted to point out the fact that working in indies may not pay as much but is often Oscar baiting and winning of critical acclaim. ;)
Hilary Swank IS an amazing actress and absolutely deserved those oscars. She can do any roll and make it phenomenal!
So true. Check out "Insomnia". She steals that movie from Al Pacino and Robin Williams.
One of d worst movies ever, nothing to steal. it cured my insomnia.
Whether she deserved them or not, it's unfair to hold it against an actor or actress for winning an Oscar. It's the Academy that votes for who wins. And if some people don't like that HS happened to win 2 Oscars in a short time, blame the Academy's voters, not her.
Can she do a combat roll like Arnold though??
Stay gold.
She can do any ROLL?? Even egg?
She's an incredible actress and if filmmakers aren't casting her it's their loss. I admire this woman's talent immensely. She did the work and she earned her Oscars!
She out classes 98% of all women look at her beautiful powerful talented two-time Oscar winner she's a goddess everywhere she goes she floats on air
I think she's right to look after her father now.... let it be, she's great and will be back, just wait
:)
Family is greater than work
Hillary Swank is an AWESOME, GOOD HEARTED person!.
But is she hot?
yessssssss
Sebastian Moran You sure Are Amazing😂
@@sebastianmoran4813 No, Hollywood wants actresses in the Nicole Kidman mold.
FREEDOM WRITERS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOD AND I LOVE IT 😂
Joe McCrafter yesss it is
I’m waiting for her to do a comeback story just like Renée Zellweger did this year and win her third Oscar
Hilary Swank, outstanding actress!
There’s probably some haters that don’t want to cast her.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
she always remind me of Jennifer Gardner for some reason
A much more talented Jennifer Gardner.
Chronoic yeah wayy more talented
Timothy_Terror Matt Damon what?
Garner people Garner
garner must have 10 gallons of botox in the face now
I beg to differ with this, I love how Looper completely failed to mention Freedom Writers or Conviction, two excellent films.
Uhm... sorry to break the news to you but they DID mention Freedom Writers. Is your inattentiveness worse than my ADHD? Usually I'm the inattentive one.
Just saying...
Ciao! 😁
Caring for her dad is more admirable than 10 Oscars.. She's a true million dollar baby!
By the way if you haven't seen this movie, watch it even if you hate boxing 🥊
She's still a likable lady. Regardless of her pursuit of acting roles lately. She has 2 Oscars and no ones gonna take them away. Even if her star is fading - she's achieved a lot.
Dancerama6 true, there’s nothing more to achieve after that
@@eliyanongusa3880 Riotously reach nirvana.
11swallowedinthesea hahaha
And her two Oscars was very well deserved, brilliant performance in Million Dollar Baby. She deserved her double Oscar win unlike Gwyneth Paltrow for Shakespeare In Love
How can anyone doubt his performance in Boys don't cry !? She was amazing !
“She won two Oscars too quickly”
Tom Hanks: laughs in back-to-back
I love Hilary Swank, what an amazing actress! 💐💐💐
oh my god her father was sick she took a "leave" from working for a while. If I know that you should too. I know she is on the new soderberg movie. Why the hate?
Isabelle Mani because he’s a pathetic tabloid journalist. Everything they do is petty...
Oh so that is what happened. Sad.
She's very talented, not everybody's career follows a predictable or conventional arc. She'll be back.
I think she's a great actress with a big heart!
WHO is she in the photos from 90210?? I never watched it and can't believe she was in it!
Just finished watching Million Dollar Baby on Netflix. Very emotional film.
It so isn't. It's much deeper and better movie than Rocky, even though the first two Rockys are also great.
I cried twice
You're blind if you only see it as that. Not all boxing movies are like Rocky you know, jeez.
LMET T you know nothing about movies...
@@petarvujchich1211 Nah, the first two Rocky's are classics, they are the very best
oh shut up, she is the best actress and that is why she won two oscars
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
I don’t think Hollywood has stopped casting her, she did great in “You’re not you”
I would love to see her in more movies. I could see her doing all kinds of movies, def would like to see more of the athletics, gold medalist story, rise to success types.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
Loved her in Freedom Writers! A true story that represents society still 🙌🏽🙏🏽
"Iron Jawed Angels" & "Freedom Writers" were awesome Hillary Swank films - making a much bigger positive difference to humanity than most films do.
💯. Hero of mine.
I havent finished iron jawed angles yet but it’s absolutely amazing
In picture of cast from 90210 (at 36 seconds)….is she in that pic? (and again at 1:36?????)
No shes not. It looks like just the orignal cast.
SHE WAS MY NEIGHBOR AND I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HER COUSIN STEVE .
she's beautiful inside and out.
"inside"
Sylvia Lopez sorry, she‘s ugly
she was very attractive when she was younger, (still is imo), you guys must be pole smokers
FREEDOM WRITERS IS AMAZING GTFO
Angel c xotwod 🖤🖤
@ILoveMycroft Chessy? Yes!! But I can say inner city kids really enjoyed the movie, in school when we had movie days everyone enjoyed it of course this was before Cell Phones were popular for teens lol
@ILoveMycroft cheesy?? but... it's a true story....
LOL
Totally ! Did you notice how he says 'movies that were too mediocre' ???? That movie is a piece of art, I can't remember how many times I've whatched it.
I would love ❤ to see more of her so considering that it's on Hollywood that we don't see more of her and Hollywood should let us the viewing audience have a say in who we see more of.
I would love to see her play a southern belle
Why didn't get an Oscar for freedom writers?
Because it was a stupid movie that only appealed to high school kids.
Lots of movies that are clear Oscar bait end up falling flat. Freedom Writers was one of those films
It was fucking retarded
because it was stupid and dumb
Aidan King
''Freedom writers'' is Hollywood anti white liberal race baiting at its finest
She undoubtedly is a great actress. Why is "The Homesman" not mentioned here? It was heartbraking. She has a real face, not just a pretty facade.
No, Bette Davis is a great actress.
Bucky Brown you're obsessed with an era not an actress. when Bette Davis can be a convincing man then I'll agree. it's easy to act pretty n rich.
I was so lucky to meet her and she visited my photography exhibition on Fellini in Cinecitta' studios, she is the most kind and wonderful woman in Hollywood.
Hey Looper! Well done! You've succeeded in riling everyone up! ...playing the Hollywood card of negative publicity is good publicity??
She is awesome I love her acting. I think it's mostly because she has other interests.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
There was a time when I could not differentiate between Hillary Swank, Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts.😂
Yeah, big ugly biches who idiots think are hot.
Apurva Gupta buck tooth horsey faces.
yea I'm sure you guys are pulling in all the hot tail huh? You should thank the Gods if any of these women took two seconds to talk to you.
I can't differentiate between Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire. Or Mark "Scumbag" Wahlberg and Matt Damon. Or Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley.
Yeah, Hilary and Jennifer look like they could be sisters. I had the same problem telling apart Jessica Biel and Rebecca Hall O.o
She just delivered a great performance in Away.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗.
what music is this thanks
Hillary Swank deserves every bit of success she's got, and I hope she goes on to do more movies.
She a great actress, humanitarian and a bloody brilliant daughter.
Such a shame we don't have more, down to earth, caring, loving people in Hollywood, she's a shining example to everyone.
Lol, they WON'T cast her but yet she is cast in 3 different movies right now..
Not only she is an amazingly talented and beautiful actress , she is an amazing person! A very rare thing in today's America!
This is so funny: I actually watched my cousin Vinny and Million dollar baby today :d (loved the movie absolutely but I still thought “she won an Oscar for that?”)
Hilary Swank did NOT "Star in" Beverly Hills 90210, she was part of a storyline for 16 episode's! This channels shitastic job of stretching information is a pile about as high as the narrator is tall!
*****
BINGO! She wasn't even on for one season!
+Burt Schoeppe Ill bet they confused 90210 with Buffy the Vampire Slayer which had Hillary Swank and Luke Perry in it.
I think you might be right!
That might be true. But she wasn't a star of the show BECAUSE she was fired. That isn't false. Swank has even talked about it saying it was a blessing in disguise because thats what freed her to do Boy Don't Cry. So the statement is not inaccurate. She WAS brought on to be a major love interest/new cast member. And when the audience didn't like her and her storyline so she was fired.
I guess they were defining "starring" differently.
What a lady! with a good head on her shoulders. She is beautiful in and out. :-)
I just saw Freedom Writers today only to realised it was released in 2007. That was a very touching movie coz my eyes were moist at the end. Hilary was a joy to watch. Such a wonderful actress.
Uh "we're looking at you Gwyneth Paltrow" lol
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind, that she deserved the oscar for Boys Don't Cry. That was a tour de force of acting. Both in terms of preparation and execution, she was brilliant. If it was a sprinting contest, she would have been first across the finish line.
UMM...She DESERVED BOTH of those OSCARS!! Bening DIDN'T Deserve the Oscar for American Beauty...Sorry !!
PeaceFan1 Kevin Spacey....made that movie, the movie it was.
While I absolutely believe that Hillary Swank deserved both of her oscars (her work in Boys Don't Cry is so real and so haunting I can't even watch that film again, and I personally think that Hillary as Brandon Teena is some of the best acting of _all time),_ I also absolutely think Annette Benning deserved an oscar for American Beauty. That was a real, full, well fleshed out, CRAZY and weird character who was portrayed very believably. Even in the extreme moments like the crying scene, the cheating scenes, the flirting with her own husband scenes, the overbearing bitch mother scenes... she was perfectly human and realistic, even sympathetic. That could not have been easy to do as an actress, to keep it out of the uncanny and hammy area with a character like her, and I do think she at least gave an oscar-_worthy_ performance, even if it ended up going to somebody else who also did a fantastic job. I think in any other year, Annette Benning WOULD have won for that role. It really was outstanding. I don't envy academy judges in years like that, when they have to make decisions that difficult. I wouldn't have been able to choose, personally.
To my mind, after winning two Oscars for Boys Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby, Hilary Swank did changed a lot. She has other interests along the way for devoting her time to helping kids and animals with her non-profit charity, The Hilary Foundation. I respect her even more. There's only one person whose mixture of both qualities of a great actress:passion and skill. And that's Hilary Swank. We love you!!!
But I thought she was gonna star in that movie about Billy Lynn? (Please someone get this reference)
Hilary Swank is absolutely gorgeous.
It's cool that you have a brail keyboard.
Ha ha ha...good sense of humor, still like her though. By the way, it's Braille.
I like her too, she just tore up. Braille, thanks.
But srsly, blind people and Amish --@
In all seriousness, there is probably something about her off-beat looks (by Hollywood standards) that make it hard for her to be cast in conventional lead roles. But she's also too big a name to take supporting parts.
no.. she's not gorgeous. she looks like matt damon had a sex change
still an okay actress though. and she had a good enough run.
I think she's just living her life bc she feels kind of accomplished already. She's given excellent performances in more than those two movies. I just think she enjoys acting and using her money to do what she can as a human being to help others. She seems like an incredibly down to earth woman and I think she's okay not being in Hollywood at this age.
we're STILL waiting!
Why are you putting her down in that video.
SHE IS AMAZING!
she was great. The mot convincing acting I've ever seen.
You haven't seen much...
Usually when accomplished actors and actresses disappear for no apparent reason, some bullshit has gone down behind the scenes that haven't been publicized.
most*
Erika Hernandez I don't know about the most convincing actress, whatever that means. But there are more actresses as talented or more talented than Hillary swank.
this guy narrating this video or whoever wrote the script for it is reaching. “Was she great or was she just in great movies?”- she was in those movies as the lead, she was great and that’s why the movies were great
They need to put her in Cobra Kai
Guess what. The Marisa Tomei Oscar was well deserved. Best performance of any Oscar nominated actress that year and almost 30 years later it is still memorable.
I think she will see a resurgence in her career as she ages.
She is fantastic. Two incredible films and performances. Very powerful face. Not the bland cookie cutter. This is a time of change and powerful women roles are growing. I have no doubt she'll be back.
Hilary Swank's performance in Iron Jawed Angels was Oscar worthy as well. That is one of my favorite movies. As more women step into executive roles in Hollywood, I believe that movie will earn greater recognition.
no mention of Freedom Writers?????????!!!!!!!!!?!?!
She seems to be a great human being. Who knows what is going to happen tomorrow. She deserves good things. The title for this video has nothing to do.
I love her! I think she gave a great performance in Amelia, but the movie wasn't so great. She gives it her all in movies, and I really appreciate that.
--Unfortunately, there is a movie industry that tends to place profit over story (my response to what was said in this video). The movie industry is a business, and making money becomes their first priority.
They do not want performers they want dolls who have some talent but will spread their legs and do whatever is presented to them.
Morgen Vade That's true. Actresses have to be young and sexy. You reminded me of this article I read about young actresses, who are always given an older man as her love interests--bleh!!!
those missing eyebrows were clearly her downfall for that movie !!
yes I agree that she was great in Amelia, but the film was mediocre. she was also great in Conviction , which came out the following year. (bonus, Sam Rockwell plays her brother in that film). I think she's always great, just sometimes the movies don't measure up to her talent. The last thing I saw that she was in was The Homesman; I think that was last year. looked like a decent movie but I doubt anyone saw it. I have to check it out some time. I can't wait for that Starz project; sounds great and lots of talented people attached.
She did amazing as Amelia Earhart! She captured her essence so well and she has the look and body for it. She's an amazing actor because she fully becomes the character and taps into the emotion needed. It's all about finding roles that allow her to showcase that raw emotion.
HELLO! She was in the OG Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
"THE CORE" . . TOTALLY DOMINATED EVERYTHING! Can't believe that this wasn't mentioned!
Freedom Writers was my moooviiie
I love that she cares more about her dad than her career. I think she has her priorities straight. I never understood how some actors are at award shows or movie sets far away when their loved ones are dying and then say their loved one would want it that way. If my son were at a movie premiere or some function while I was dying I would haunt them forever. Ungrateful punk. But anyway, she seems great.
Why should it matter that she won 2 Oscars within 5 years?, please enlighten me?
Freedom Writers was an amazing project and way too underrated.
She is an amazing actress and must beeing nominated for the movie "You are not you " an won for that !! She was just brillant !
Fell in love with her after seeing The Next Karate Kid, it empowered me as a child being female, she was beast in that movie! Thanks for being inspiration Mrs. Swank.
never watched it but if you say its good than it is
Breaking-- /c thinking for ourselves is overrated. :P
ben A also knowing when to shut up is a virtue
She deserved her 2nd Oscar. Amazing movie. Character. Everything
She was just in "The Hunt". Great performance!
I loved her in you're not you. omg I have never cried so much
She kills me with these videos, um, maybe these actors want to take some damn time off.
She was on a episode of Growing pains tv show.
Just saw her cameo role in Lucky Logan. She just needs a good project. Glad to hear her dad is ok.
