Evangeline Lilly was 'cornered' into doing partially nude scenes in 'Lost'

Actress Evangeline Lilly says she was pressured into filming partially nude scenes in ABCs hit fantasy drama "Lost."

The "Ant-Man and the Wasp" star, who played the show's heroine Kate Austen during its six-season run, revealed in an interview for "The Lost Boys" podcast that she was coerced into doing partially-naked scenes for her role, particularly in the third season, reports variety.com.

"In Season 3, I'd had a bad experience on set with being basically cornered into doing a scene partially naked, and I felt had no choice in the matter," she said.

Added Lilly: "And I was mortified and I was trembling when it finished. I was crying my eyes out, and I had to go and do a very formidable, very strong scene thereafter."

Lilly said her discomfort continued into the following season of the show.

"In Season 4, another scene came up where Kate was undressing and I fought very hard to have that scene be under my control. And I failed to control it again," she noted.

Added the actress: "So I then said, 'That's it, no more. You can write whatever you want - I won't do it. I will never take my clothes off on this show again.' And I didn't."

Lilly has not filmed another scene involving nudity since her stint on "Lost," a choice she has pointedly made when selecting projects.
