Swanky affair

AN ECSTATIC Cecelia Ahern was oblivious to the cold snap, but Hilary Swank was forced to cover up at the European premiere of her latest film last night.

The Academy Award winner was halfway down the red carpet for the launch of PS I Love You in Dublin when she stopped to put her coat on. Hundreds of Dubliners braved the Christmas cold along with celebrities including Boyzone’s Ronan Keating, Westlife’s Nicky Byrne, designer John Rocha, as well as Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.

Swank said: “I think the theme of PS I Love You is so beautiful.

“I think it’s a reminder of what’s important in life. Not to take the people you love for granted because you don’t know what is going to happen.

“I got to see some of the beautiful countryside and that was stunning,” she said.

Asked if she had a chance to enjoy herself, she beamed: “I enjoyed the Guinness.”
