Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe split up

January 10th, 2006 // 22 Comments

hilary_chad_thumb1.jpgHilary Swank and Chad Lowe have separated after more than eight years of marriage.

“Hilary and Chad have decided to separate, but they are hopeful they’ll be able to get through this tough time,” Swank’s manager Troy Nankin said in a statement Monday. There was no elaboration on the reason for the split.

I suspect that Chad finally got sick of Hilary calling him a girlie man while holding him in a headlock giving him noogies. Being fit is one thing, but being able to bench press your husband with one arm is another.

    This is quite surprising, they always seemed happy together. Still, I guess when your wife is a more convincing man than you are, there’s going to be some insecurities.

    Why do people named Hilary always have horse faces? Hilary Swank, Hilary Duff…really I can’t think of anyone with giant horse teeth NOT named Hilary.

    How does anybody care about this when there is so much turmoil going on in James Frey’s life?

    That’s a shame. I met Chad Lowe at Spago a few years ago. Hilary was no where to be seen though. I think he was with some friends. He then said to say hello to my father for him. He has almost NO personality. I asked about her and he said she was at home relaxing after a photo shoot in Bimini.

    I guess that was code for, “She’s wearing my clothes and chasing the maid, Markulita around the house saying ‘Immigration’s gonna get ya!’ while the maid giggles and swats at her with a double-sided dong.”

    I wished I’d probed a bit more and not ordered him that White Russian.

    When you have a better left hook/right cross combination than your husband, its only a matter of time…

    More Cowbell? The BT girl, hot as always, looks like she is ready to drop kick Hilary for having such a muppet face.

    She won an Oscar several years ago and thanked everyone from her Mexican gardener to the president of the studio and never mention Chad, the Lesser Lowe. Apparently that was an indicator.

    She has nice knockers. I’d hit it.

    Speaking of the Oscars remember when he cried like a little girl when she won? It was only a matter of time after that she was gonna dump him. How hard do you think he cried over this?

    Yes, we all saw this coming, but my question is this: Is there any man alive who can stand having a wife who is more successful than he is? The rule of thumb is, if a woman is more successful than a man he cheats on her. Period. It’s easy and brutally painful. My suspicion is this guy cheated on her with a man. But it’s sad. Can’t a successful woman marry a loser because she loves him without him getting bent out of shape? Where is the loser love?

    1. LOL @ James Frey

    2. Why won’t the “More Cowbell” girl go away, for god’s sake. That ad’s been up longer than Pink’s erection.

    3. You go PhDiva. Men can’t take being 2nd.

    She and Jen Garner look a lot alike.

    Chad probably saw a pic of Jen kissing Ben and thought it was Hillary.

    Knockers, what knockers. George Castanza has bigger breasts than her. (Maybe she had a small tuneup. She had no breasts at all before.)

    Just to get this straight, I’m not a raving fan of Hilary Swank, but she’s ALWAYS had those huge knockers. Hilary even started out her career by using a lot of layers and baggy clothes to hide just how big they were, even back then.

    Check her out in “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” – 1992:

    or “The Next Karate Kid” – 1994:

    Hey – wait a sec Tracie. You’re not a huge fan of Hilary Swank but you do happen to have a pic of her from a TV show from 1992…,ah…and from 1994. Hummmm…
    I must admit I saw Hilary in a little short film directed by Chad. I don’t care about her knockers – she’s a good actress.

    Well, Hilary *NEIGH!*….what the fuck? Hilary is so *NEIGH!* Huh? Why does it keep saying neigh after I start to write something about her? Ok, let me try again. In million dollar baby, Hilary *NEIGH!* Dammit! I can’t write this comment folks, sorry. Everytime I mention her the keyboard automatically writes neigh. Probably has something to do with the fact that she looks like a horse.

    Oh and Binky, you don’t need to have pics of someone to post a link to them…ever heard of this thing called google?

    Hey Bink, I knew I would get a comment like that, which is why I tried to preface it with the fact that I’m not a stalker. See, there’s this little search engine called “Google”, and it’s really fast, easy, and useful when you’re trying to prove a point to someone with images. ;) (That someone being Sheva and her comment above about Hilary’s breastesses.)
    Other than that, this here’s a website called “The Superficial”, so that’s what I’m going for here.

    The last time I checked – Google didn’t classify a subject’s pics by the size of their knockers. At least not back to the early ’90′s. This would still require a bit of research time.
    But I did miss Vegas this year – and I heard that Brin may have an eye for the virtual ladies.
    Good luck on ebay. Stay away from “previously a rental”

    I must be WAY older than you, because I remember that both of these Hilary projects were big screen films, not from TV.
    I Googled and got “hilaryswankfan.com”, then clicked on “Photos”, then the “Movies” category, then chose stills from the only two movies I was familiar with. Not really a lot of research time, like about as much as reading and replying.
    I used to do this all the time on a (formerly awesome) website called “awfulplasticsurgery.com”, where you could cut, paste and display celeb photos and videos, but someone posted a clip of a man getting it on with a horse and the entire message board ended up getting removed from the site. :(

    Yeah the guy getting it on with the horse always ruins everything. (That wasn’t an old shot of Roy Rogers was it ?) Thanks for the research tip. ‘Hilary’s Wank’ fan.com…hummm

    They always seemed like a nice couple.But in hollywood 8 years is like 50 for us normal people.I am surprised it lasted as long as it did! Yes Hilary is a wo-manhorse bt at least she has personality..he doesnt seem to bring much to the table at all…except her..
