Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank has shared her secret for staying slim.

The star of PS I Love You said exercise plays an important part in her life, keeping her slender and helping to relieve stress.

"I think stress release is important" - Hilary Swank

She said: "I eat what I want but in moderation. I don't overdo it because it doesn't make me feel good.

"I believe in exercise. I think stress release is important, it always feels good to get out there and get your body moving."

In PS I Love You, Hilary plays a young woman struggling to cope with the death of her husband.

It proves a tear-jerker as Hilary's character Holly reads letters left to her by her late husband.

Hilary added: "I don't think there is anyone out there who hasn't fallen in love or lost love.

"Even a break-up can feel like a death and I think that's what people are relating to."
