Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank spoke in very general terms during an interview with Vanity Fair magazine about her soon-to-be ex-husband, Chad Lowe. She actually dropped a bombshell: saying he struggles with addiction. She doesn't mention what he's addicted to (drugs? alcohol? sex? video games?), but says that his "substance addiction" played a minor role in their break-up. She says, "When I found out, it was such a shock because I never thought he'd keep something from me. And yet, on another level, it was a confirmation of something I was feeling that was keeping us from being completely solid." Sad. Lowe, who works primarily in television, did not give any comment.Swank tells magazine of Chad Lowe's addiction

Frankly, I think that's pretty cold. She tells Vanity Fair Chad Lowe has a substance abuse problem=she gets a cover. Ugh.

I agree Evadne. This seems very out of character for her to use his problems to further her career. I have a feeling there is very much more to this than we are getting in the little blurbs and quotes that have been leaked out.

What is it that compels Hollywood actors and actresses to air their dirty laundry voluntarily? Christ, stick a cork in your pie hole Hillary. The marriage didn't work, you called it off, give the poor guy a break.

With a pair of tits and an ass like hers, they would be the only things I'd be abusing. Who'd need drugs, with her as a wife!!

She is acting like trailor trash. She grew up as trash in the poor south. I don't get the allure of her. She is mentally unstable enough to act good.
To keep things in perspective, I wouldn't mind being outed by a rich famous wife as a drug abuser if I got money from her.

How didn't she know? Every other role he's done has been of a drug addict. Heck, he looks like a heroin addict (maybe I've seen him act too much...typecasting). He's got to get the research somewhere.
