Evangeline Lilly Says She Doesn't Like the Word Feminism
Evangeline Lilly meets up with co-star Lee Pace on the red carpet at the premiere of their movie The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies on Tuesday evening (December 9) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Also in attendance at the event were co-stars Richard Armitage, Manu Bennett, Dean O’Gorman, and Graham McTavish.
Evangeline recently talked to the Huffington Post and said that while she loves playing “kick-ass chicks,” she doesn’t want to compromise her womanhood.
“I’m very proud of being a woman, and as a woman, I don’t even like the word feminism because when I hear that word, I associate it with women trying to pretend to be men, and I’m not interested in trying to pretend to be a man,” Evangeline said. “I don’t want to embrace manhood, I want to embrace my womanhood.”
FYI: Evangeline is wearing an Alberta Ferretti gown, an Edie Parker clutch, and an Atelier Swarovski ring and ear cuff. Lee is wearing Suit Supply.
