00:00There's a lot of backlash women get for having children older, but not men, which is interesting.
00:04Oh my god, I mean, it is weird. Men have babies in their, like, 80s, and that is not a
00:11euphemism
00:11or a joke. You had kids in your 40s, and people weren't always gracious about it.
00:18Hilary Swank is 52 and pregnant, and she's reflecting on society's double standards for
00:23women having children at a later age. It all goes down on an upcoming episode of The Drew
00:28Barrymore Show, airing Tuesday, October 20th. The interview hits as the two-time Oscar winner
00:33is facing backlash over her pregnancy announcement. Swank shared this video with her 1.6 million
00:39Instagram followers, dancing with her husband, Philip Schneider, and their twins, Aya and Om,
00:45and revealing her neon-colored baby bump. The caption? A lot of people have been asking what
00:50project I'm doing next. This one releases in December. While some called the news inspiring
00:55and wished her beautiful family the best, others on social media criticized the actress's decision
01:00to have a baby in her 50s. I cannot fathom being 70 years old with a kid that just graduated
01:06high
01:06school. At 52, what are we even doing here? Having kids who will be caregivers before they can legally
01:12drink? And then there was this spicy tweet defending Swank from the haters. The people hating on her are
01:18sad, jealous Karens that can and should f**k right off. Have kids at any age with whomever you love.
01:25On Drew, Swank reflected on the idea of a child losing a parent at a young age, a common critique
01:31of geriatric pregnancies. She said,
01:34And I thought to myself, well, I would rather be born and have that person that was my favorite
01:40person and experience that than not at all. And here's the Yellow Jackets actress leaving the talk
01:47show taping in New York City on Thursday, October 15th, putting her pregnant belly on full display
01:52for the cameras.
01:53Wow! There he is!
01:57Yes, of course!
01:59What is the craving?
02:01Rice Krispy Kreeks and um...
02:05Okay.
02:06Well, I don't eat cheese, but like Cheetos.
02:21Oh, I already wrote you.
02:23What is your message to any woman? I think it might be too late.
02:29I already wrote you.
02:33I'm sorry.
02:51I'm sorry.
02:55Yes.
02:56Yes.
02:58Yes.
03:05Congratulations.
03:08I know I'm
03:09congrating you.
03:10What's your message thinking
03:11that might be too late?
03:13I mean you are really the
03:14faculty to go to school and look so
03:16great.
03:25There you go.
03:27You're welcome. You're welcome.
03:29Ms. Wanker, let's get a quick fashion shot.
03:31She's going to pose Roger.
03:33Yeah, yeah.
03:36Beautiful.
03:42Congratulations on the baby.
03:43Okay.
03:45Thank you very much, Mom.
03:48Watch your step.
03:50She looks so good.
03:51I mean, listen, I got the right...
