LONDON - American actress Hilary Swank, who loves doing dare-devil stunts, surprised her boyfriend by giving him a lift during one of her flying lessons.
The 35-year-old actress, who recently portrayed celebrated aviator Amelia Earhart in Amelia, took a detour during her training for her pilot’s license, cancelled partner and agent John Campisi’s flight and took her plane to pick him up instead, reports contactmusic.com.
“I absolutely love flying. I picked up my boyfriend from a meeting in Las Vegas. I said to my instructor, ‘Can we pick my boyfriend up?’ and he said, ‘Sure.’ So we flew to Vegas and showed up at the airport. John said, ‘You cancelled my flight and I’m getting in that plane?’ And I’m like, ‘You’d better - we flew all this way to get you!’,” she said.
Swank says she wasn’t frightened by her lessons and loves trying out new and “exhilarating” dare-devil stunts.
“Not many things make me nervous. Flying, skydiving and bungee jumping are exhilarating, a reminder that you’re alive,” she said.
