There’s no love lost between me and Evangeline Lilly’s Lost character Kate. Kate is the worst part of the show, one of the few poorly-drawn characters, and Evangeline isn’t a very good actress. But still, she’s cute, and I could see how her beauty and Lost fame could mean bigger paydays in film work. But Evangeline has never been interested in super-stardom, so I give her points for consistency. Evangeline has even said that after Lost, she probably won’t act again. Now Evangeline has given another interview where she’s talking about how she has shunned the opportunities given to her to “become the next Angelina Jolie.” It sounds like Evangeline is quite proud of frustrating movie producers:

THE only reason “Lost” star Evangeline Lilly isn’t as famous as Angelina Jolie is because she doesn’t want to be.

The TV actress tells the June issue of Women’s Health that her producers “have seen that I haven’t picked up on the opportunity to become a big movie star. It frustrates [them] that they’ve given me this chance to become the next Angelina Jolie” but she hasn’t gone after it.

Lilly adds, “Sure, I’d love to be her, but just the humanitarian side.”

I don’t really think Evangeline is bragging, saying that she could be the next Angelina Jolie - Lilly seems to be using Angelina’s name as shorthand for “big film actress”. In any case, I think Megan Fox would have something to say about Evangeline being the next Jolie.

Evangeline was recently announced as one of the new “faces” of Loreal, joining Elizabeth Banks and Freida Pinto. It was an interesting move for someone who claims to not be interested in the whole stardom thing, but I’d bet Lilly is just taking the money to do her missionary and humanitarian work. Or she’s going to blow it all on strippers and blow, either/or.
