Evangeline Lilly says she's not afraid of getting older because women don't reach their full potential until later in life. “I love getting older!” says Lilly, 30. “I really believe that a woman doesn’t reach her peak until her 40s."Evangeline, who is hailed around for the world for her wholesome good looks and superfit physique, stars as Kate Austen in the hit ABC show Lost.
In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don’t accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth," says Lilly. "I know it’s going to take me another 15 years!”
Evangeline, who has been photographed frequently surfing in Hawaii (where Lost is filmed), stays in shape by running, lifting weights, hiking and doing yoga and Pilates.
The athletic Lilly admits she's obsessed with healthy eating. "I would love to pretend I don't diet, but I work very hard," she says. "I stay active and eat very healthy. Anybody who says otherwise is either unhealthy or lying! I will admit that I'm addicted to sugar--licorice, Jujubees and jelly candies. And I actually love bran muffins!"
But Evangeline doesn't let the pressures of Hollywood get to her. “I know women with eating disorders or who are not happy with their bodies," she says. “It’s so important for women to say to other women, ‘I like myself how I am.’"
She adds: "But it’s hard because in your heart of hearts you are thinking, ‘I don’t really.’ But you have to learn to say it. Imagine what a world it would be if people felt good about themselves the whole time.”
