Evangeline Lilly Confessed Something To Michael Douglas
Celebrities very rarely confess things that can put them on the spot. Especially things that aren’t deemed very nice by some people. Evangeline Lilly recently dropped a bombshell on similar lines.
In her appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, talked about a behind the scene moment in her recent release, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.’ She told Douglas, her co-star, that she would “like to f**k him.
“I turned to Michael and [Michelle Pfeiffer], and I said, ‘You know, you guys are real GILFs,'” she said. “Michael had no idea. He said, ‘What’s a GILF?’ Instead of being cool about it, in front of a room full of children, I went, ‘It’s a grandpa I’d like to f**k.’
The ‘Hurt Locker‘ actress then quickly realized that she had used the f-word in front of a bunch of kids. She then quickly changed the topic.
