LOST star EVANGELINE LILLY was so uncomfortable with her beauty when she was a teenager, she would plead with God to make her ugly.

The Canadian actress had been a tomboy for most of her childhood but when she turned 16, she suddenly blossomed into a stunning young woman.

She explains, "I spent many nights crying myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because of the way men leered and disrespected me, because they assumed things about my mental capacity or my physical willingness based on the way I looked."

The star become so uneasy with the unwanted attention that it drove her to quit her job as a waitress, which helped her pay for her college education.

She adds, "I felt like a whore. You feel like they're paying to stare at your a*s when you're walking away from the table."

Wow, just when I thought Eva Longoria's bullshit about "how hard it is being beautiful" was too much. She quit a waitressing job because she thought people were looking at her ass and paying her for it? Yeah, then you become an actress so that people can pay you to look at your ass - thank goodness she learned and moved on from "whoredom".

Hypocrite and Liar.

Does she know what a whore does in order to be called a whore?!

My deepest condolences to you Lilly for being so "pretty" and stupid.

Ohhh, and I actually liked her.

B.C. · April 13th, 2006, 05:52 PM

I've never heard of anything like this, men looking at womens asses? I never had any idea that something like that went on. She must possess some kind of goddess like ass for this to have happened.

^ Oh men DO stare at any walking vagina, beautiful or not.

damn these Hollywood types should just keep their mouths shut

I can understand not liking men leering at you, but I would never pray to be ugly lol. I had some random jackazz yesterday who I'd never even met, suggest that I was hired at my job because I'm "attractive".

Forget that I have a 4 year college degree, years of job experience, and am a licensed professional in my field - I got hired because I'm attractive.

LOL!

Sorry - I just don't find her 'beautiful'. Attractive maybe...like many out there, but in no way a head turner.

And let's not forget that there's no better way to get away from all of drooling men while waitressing than to run off to Hollywood - the land of plastic and fantasy - and get yourself on a top notch TV show!!!

She's cute but beautiful? Nya. I hope she gets killed on Lost.

cocainekate · April 13th, 2006, 07:53 PM

I love it! I love it how she

prayed to God

to make her ugly. Looks like some prayers actually get answered.

She sounds full of it.

Perilita · April 14th, 2006, 12:27 PM

I had no idea who she was when I read this, so I googled her to see whether she really is all that. I almost expected to see someone God-like and unique... Talk about exaggeration. Pretty at best (not my type anyway)

Evangeline Lilly is a sweet girl. She is not vain at all. Y'all are just haters.

It is not vanity that made her say what she said. Go back and read the article again. She said she was a tomboy and then "blossomed" at 16. It happens. We all know how lecherous men can be. If you're 16 (still a girl, for pete's sake), uncomfortable with your perky breasteses and slammin' ass, YES it will be traumatic. YES you will cry about it. And, yes, you might even quit your job. Unless, of course, it's something as glamarous as waitressing.

So shame on y'all for hatin'. Not everybody's a conceited bitch, and being beautiful ain't always fun. If it were, there'd be no unhappy pretty people.

And, for the record, I've seen photos of the members on this board. Some of you have posted in this thread. You're all beautiful. So all this hatin' is reminding me of all those evil pretty bitches I hated in high school that talked about each other and acted like general... well, bitches. Such a turn-off. Tsk tsk, I say! Tsk tsk...

Shows what you know! She's Canadian. She was an unknown, working in Canada, when she got hired for Lost. So there!
