Hilary Swank hits a snag when a New York fan will not give a name for an autograph

Hilary Swank's New York stroll turned into an awkward signing stop.

Camera crews caught the actress Thursday as she paused for fans. A photographer barely got a pregnancy question in before the signing itself went sideways.

The stuck autograph

Swank started to sign but stalled when one fan refused to give a name so she could personalize the page. She kept asking. The fan kept holding out. The next person in line was not much smoother.

She did share a few pregnancy craving notes before the exchange fully derailed the chat.

Why she was out

Swank is expecting her third child and has been open about the pregnancy in recent days. The clip shows her baby bump as she works the sidewalk crowd.

Nobody was hurt and no one was cited. It was a brief fan moment that looked uncomfortable on camera.
