Evangeline Lilly is leaving Hollywood, saying a “new season has arrived” in her life.
In a post on Instagram on Monday, the “Lost” star, 44, shared a pair of video clips, and in one from the set of “Lost” two decades ago, she describes hoping to be a “retired” actress in 10 years.
“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,” she said in the clip.
“Thank you @lost_theothers for digging up this (nearly twenty-year-old) footage of me speaking out my dreams under (what looks like) a full moon And thank you to @femalepoetssociety for digging up this (much older) footage of the incredible #mayaangelou perfectly articulating how I feel about life,” the Canadian actress wrote alongside the videos.
In the second clip, poet and author Maya Angelou says she chooses to embrace that “we are all in process” through constant change, and suggested that people need “more restlessness.”
“The only promise that will not be reneged upon is you will die,” Angelou said. “You may as well try to do some other wonderful things.”
The “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” star, who shares two sons with Norman Kali, assured fans she is happy to leave Hollywood, at least for now.
“I am so filled with joy and contentment today as I live out my vision. Praise God, I feel so grateful for my blessings. Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfillment,” the Canadian model and actress wrote.
“I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong. A new season has arrived, and I AM READY…and I AM HAPPY,” she wrote.
