“Prince Family Paper,” the thirteenth episode of the fifth season of the American comedy television series The Office, has a memorable subplot in which Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) and other office members passionately debate whether actress Hilary Swank can be considered “hot”.
In a 2010 interview with Time Magazine, she shared what she thinks about the episode that refers to her as a “monster” and a “female Boris Becker.” The episode first aired on January 22, 2009, when Hilary Swank was 34-years-old.
“I’m not a big television watcher, but definitely everyone made me aware of it. It’s flattering anytime someone mentions you. But I don’t think of myself in terms of that.”
The Office debate on whether Hillary Swank is hot or not
“There is so much [emphasis] put on the way we look, which is interesting, going back to the Office question. Are you hot, or are you not? It really does a disservice. There’s so much more to life than looking a certain way,” she added about the state of women in Hollywood.
Hilary Swank’s American drama film “You’re Not You” was released on October 10, 2014, but in October 2015 it still qualified for official entry to the Tokyo Film Festival.
The American actress, a self-professed travel junkie, was able to mix work and play by flying to Japan for the festival.
