Actress Hilary Swank may play a fighter in her award-winning roles, but in real life she's definitely a lover of all things - Especially cows. Which is why the star is now having a hard time eating meat after 18 years as a vegan.

"I don’t know if you have ever looked into a cow’s eye, but it is so soulful," Swank said of her former vegetarian lifestyle.

The Oscar-winning 35-year-old spent most of her life avoiding meat and has always considered herself a "spiritual person".

But recently she admitted to giving up her vegan diet to save her health and for the past two years she's been having a hard time eating meat.

"I don’t like it - but it’s something I have to do,” she said of her switch away from vegan.

While it wasn't much of a choice in the eyes of Swank she feels it's something she needs to do for her health.

When she first made the choice to steer to a more meat-based diet, she did so after rapidly dropping weight. While it isn't always easy, the actress says she's happier with her figure now, according to Gossip.Ie.

A self-proclaimed "athlete", Swank is a huge fan of all things sport and has often manipulated her weight - But only for the big screen. Hilary experienced weight fluctuation for her role in Boys Don't Cry and The Black Dahlia.

But even with the ups and downs of weight and changes in her diet, Swank is fearless in staying true to what her body needs.

"In the last couple of years, I’ve really come into my own and a lot of that has come from figuring out who I really am and what I want in life."
