Evangeline Lilly wrote an official statement on Instagram saying she is ready to stop working as an actress, at least for a while. The information is rather surprising, considering the fact that Lilly will be celebrating her 45th birthday this year.

The star explained that sometimes, walking away from something that seems like an easy choice can bring fear and uncertainty. Still believing in Hindu dharma, this fear eventually turns into fulfilment.

- 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. 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. - wrote Lilly.

Lilly decided to add a video recorded on the " Lost " set around 2006. In it, the actress answered the question of where she sees herself in 10 years. As she said:

- 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 have a family. I’d like to be writing and influencing people’s lives in humanitarian ways.

She has starred in the critically acclaimed "The Hurt Locker,” "Real Steel" with Hugh Jackman, two installments of the "Hobbit" movies, as well as in several MCU films, including the "Ant-Man" trilogy and the production "Avengers: Endgame."
