Rather than feeling devastated when a fire gutted her Hawaii home recently, Lost star Evangeline Lilly is philosophical about the incident.
Evangeline, 27, says she felt a ‘giddy’ sense of freedom when she lost most of her possessions in the December house fire on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where she lives while filming the popular Sky One series.
“I like the feeling of being free and having no possessions. I think I’m a gypsy at heart,” she told Sky magazine.
“After the fire, I got this giddy feeling, like, ‘You’re telling me I only have my wallet, the clothes on my back, my car?’ Cool!’
“I furnished my house with Salvation Army furniture, so I didn’t have anything of value. The most valuable things I had were my paintings and writing - but they’re still just things.”
