I LOVE Evangeline’s personality! She’s so kind to her fans! Constantly responding to people/comments on social media and was even kind enough to like a post of mine on Insta once. Seems super down to earth!

[@FoxM1466]

So true she is really kind and sensitive

[@theharshtruthoutthere]

@@FoxM1466 lets analyse the nonsense /lies many amongst you believe in: lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind) lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave - earth is closed system, unless you want to drown, there is no other place created for us to live in.) lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda) lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide) lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for TO DECEIVE) - you havn´t searched - have you? lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal.) lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind) to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid? Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world) lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare) lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do) lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge) lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage) lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?) Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple) 14 lies, should i go on?

What a lovely human being!!! She’s so warm and friendly looking. All the best!!!

[@user-knndruzaqqbvhuh2]

I really love her performance in LOST

[@andTutin]

Still my fav tv show

[@LahainaStrong444]

It was such an excellent TV series!! Loved her in it too

[@FoxM1466]

Can you get past that crap movie filmed 20 years ago? Enjoy this old hag from this present.

She's awesome storyteller.

[@harjestus]

Perhaps there were Esco bars backstage?

[@evedotcom]

So smiley and frenetic lol. As a Lost mega fan, I will love her forever

[@nonsuch]

I was recently watching some Late Late Shows w/Craig Ferguson and she was one of the guests. She still looks great! Although I think she looks better with long hair.

[@dalespencer11]

agreed and not blonde :-( Her interviews with Craig were the best!!

[@furbl4345]

@@dalespencer11 I think she needed to shave her head for her role in "South of Heaven" with Jason Sudeikis so she kept her hair short since.

[@misslanapaulford]

The kissing role she's talking about is Smallville season 1, where she's at a party and kissing one of the jock bad guys. Look it up 👆.

[@jamespittman]

I like Evangeline Lilly she is a great actress.😍

[@samuelm.e8778]

It’s upsets me that people still don’t give enough recognition to Evangeline Lily. She’s seriously such a good actress and one of the prettiest female celebrities I’ve seen. I rlly hope the Wasp shines in Ant man 3 and shows ppl how important the wasp character is to marvel.

[@raptoroptical2991]

If she was a great actress she’d be in much better roles. No depth

[@ruantengyi]

OMG…I couldn’t recognise her with that blonde pixie cut! I always still remember what she looks like in her days in LOST.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Love Evangeline lily she is so awesome, and cool is such a great actress 😍❤.

[@treybikes]

Love her personality ! ❤️ I hope her nothing but the best !!

[@taisanmulan5851]

I used to work with her at Earls restaurant in Kelowna, BC in 2000 - 2002. She was Nicole Lilly then. I believe Evangeline is her middle name. She looked exactly like she did on Lost. Good for you Nicole! I'm happy for your success!

[@NikoBonesProductions]

Wow! An agent that actually believes in their talented clients and ACTIVELY TRIES to get them good work! I'd literally kill for that

[@zoep4755]

I hear ya my friend, I hear ya 🙄

Great Video!!! I Love Her as The Wasp and I'm SOOOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE!!!

[@GHBobBrownbear]

Great Interview, i love her and she looks awesome

Can't wait to see Evangeline Lilly's Wasp kicking some butts with Ant-man in Quantumania next week 🤩

Held accountable as in held accountable bad or good?

[@ritaenjoytheday5015]

She didn’t want to be an actor? I guess she didn’t want to sign my mega size Hobbit cup either. But both happened 😊

[@johnnyvishnevskiy8090]

I guess she didn't want to make out with me. It didn't happen.

[@furbl4345]

Her Tauriel in Hobbit rocked🤩 Hope you still have the Hobbit cup!

So full of energy & life. Jimmys flying😂 Great acting. Beautiful woman. However don’t care for the hair. But who tf am I .

[@cactusflavour7513]

I actually just rewatched lost and finished like a week ago. By far best tv anything I’ve ever seen. Shout out to Evangeline for being from the Fort. Edmonton born and raised here. 😊

[@michelled219]

When she says about her first role - "I just had to kiss some guy." - I think she's talking about the show "Smallville".

[@ayeeeeeitsrachel]

i literally love her so much

[@TroyTColeman]

I think the role she’s talking about at the beginning is on smallville

[@Bends95]

Evangeline is a beautiful and charming woman,before she was in film and television she also gotta gig on the Canadian tv show electric playground as a gamer gear girl..proud how far she’s come since then!

But this time is just for "comic accurate". I think Peyton do this job for her.

[@adamazri928]

As much as I love Michelle Pfeiffer, Evangeline Lilly's character Hope was seriously sidelined in the film. She was litetally in the title but her character arc was lesser than Ant-Man.

[@mikophilo348]

1:25 - when she said that commercial work was degrading i think i know what she meant because i used to see her appear on a commercial after midnight for a 1-900 adult content sort of hookup party line 😅😅😅😅

[@joxer]

Really she got her start with Reviews on the Run modeling the latest gaming device. When I first saw her on Lost I was a) surprised, and b) like whoa, she can talk (she just silently held up the peripherals in Reviews)

[@HI-RISER]

She also did a few of those late night chat line commercials.
