The sexy LOST heroine cultivates the art of private life. She likes surfing, hiking, and has patched things up with Dominic Monaghan, who is no longer in the series. In the movie Et après…, she plays Romain Duris’ neglected wife according to an adaptation of Guillaume Musso’s bestseller. Portrait of a no-frills actress.
“I am a sex symbol in spite of myself”, says Evangeline Lilly. “Our society’s imposed standardised image of the woman is bland and boring to me. I certainly do not wish to contribute to it.” Is that so! Why accepting to be Davidoff Cool Water’s new ambassador then? “First, I turned down the offer, hesitated for a long time, then accepted it because this brand conveys power and sensuality, not just a flatly sexy image.” A thin nuance for some, a huge one for the 28-year-old Canadian.
Propelled to stardom thanks to LOST’s planetary success, the one who plays Kate (flight Oceanic 815’s fugitive having murdered her father) runs away from fame and its traps. “People think I’m a snob, but I’m really just a reserved person” says the actress that begun her career with figurative roles. She chooses meditation and being close to nature over a social buzzing life. She keeps a modest lifestyle in her Hawaii home, where the hit series is filmed. A house that has had mould problems. “I noticed it after many months. The unhealthy air within got me sick but I didn’t move out because I’m close to my money”, she says with a disarming honesty.
Following the disinfection of the plumbing system, she went back to smiling and doing aerobics in her home “on cheesy 80’s music”. She likes sports, such as hiking and surfing, and protects her private life. It looks like her affair with Dominic Monaghan, aka LOST’s junkie rocker, has been given a new life last spring. The couple had broken up at the end of 2007. Monaghan’s role having been written out, he went back to living in LA. A long distance relationship is nothing easy… Yet, Evangeline is not one to be intimidated by distance. At 18 years old, this daughter of a teacher in economics and an esthetician went to the Philippines for a few months, working for a humanitarian organisation. Voluntary work is one of her passions. During the 2005’s hiatus, she flew to Rwanda. She likes her stardom to serve other people. Career comes second. The only project that this non-ambitious yet assumed actress has undertaken since LOST is the movie Et après… ! adapted from a novel by Guillaume Musso. Evangeline plays the role of Romain Duris’ neglected wife. What’s next? She chooses to wait and see. Zen, zen, zen!
US SERIES: BACK TO THE FUTURE
It’s the newest trend in series: flash forwards, as opposed to flash backs, are sketches of the characters’ future mixed with present-time storyline. The 4th season of LOST has used this technique with brio. We see 6 of the survivors after their rescue from the island. This style of storytelling was first introduced in 2005, in the final episode of Six Feet Under (Jimmy): members of the Fisher family portrayed at the dusk of their lives. In 2007, the judicial series Damages has built its first season with such chronological jumps that serve to maintain suspense. Desperate Housewives dove in as well: the final sequence of season 4 takes place 5 years into the future. The forward projections help Hollywood writers renew the narrative mode of the series and take them apart from reality television, which is anchored in the present.
FLASH BIO:
Born on August 3rd, 1979, at Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta (Canada)
2002: extra in Judgment Day and Smallville
2003: extra in Tru Calling and the movie Freddy vs. Jason
