Evangeline Lilly has candidly opened up about her exit from Hollywood and why she walked away from acting despite her accumulation of fame. The stunning star chatted all about it earlier this week with the Christian Broadcasting Network, noting how much someone “pays” to be in the celebrity sphere.
The star boldly began: “I’d much prefer a quieter position. I’ve always hated being famous. I never made any secrets about that. I’ve always said being famous is the cost of the wealth that you can get as an actor. Like that’s what you pay for — the wealth.”
Though calling time on her Hollywood days was far from an easy decision to make. Evangeline further discussed the mental tug of war she faced over choosing to leave her acting career when she knew it was something that she was clearly good at.
She continued: “When you’re successful at something, it feels really good when the world says, ‘We love you! You’re amazing!’ Like, this is a wonderful feeling. How do you walk away from that? And I’ve had moments of … gripping fear of like, ‘What am I doing?’ But, ultimately, the decision was one that was made in great conviction.”
Evangeline’s decision to leave Hollywood was far from a surprise. Even decades ago all the way back in 2006, Lilly expressed a desire to leave acting. In a video from back then, Evangeline shared: “I am terrified to admit this to the rest of the acting world but ideally, 10 years from now, I’d like to be a retired actress, and I would like to have a family.”
However the star’s official retirement announcement wasn’t made until 2024, where she cited one of the reasons for calling time on her career now as desiring to have a family. She didn’t rule out ever returning to acting though!
