Lost star Evangeline Lily has revealed she is ALLERGIC to Hawaii. The 28-year-old actress says she keeps getting sick on the island where the hit US drama is filmed. And she confessed she suffers cabin fever if she spends too long in the idyllic setting without getting away.
Lily, who plays Kate Austen in Lost, told David Letterman she gets all sorts of allergic reactions in Hawaii. "I'm allergic to Hawaii. Everything in Hawaii makes me react in some way," she said. "I've spent the last four years constantly with allergic reactions or sick or whatever else."
The brunette actress said she even picked up an eye infection as she was traveling to New York to appear on Letterman's chat show. The audience gasped as the talk show host showed a picture of Lily's eye looking red and swollen. "Right as I was packing for this trip, something - some spoor or something - got in my eye and I could feel it," she explained.
"That instant itch happened and I just started going on my eye. I realized: 'Cut back or you're going to make it worse and it's going to start swelling'.
"It more than swelled. The pink wet flesh around the inside of my eye started closing in on my pupil.
"That's not sexy. There's nothing sexy about that."
Lily said she headed for Japan as soon as the Hollywood Writer's Strike was announced - because she gets 'island fever' if she spends too long in Hawaii. "It's this tropical paradise and it's beautiful and it's amazing, but - not unlike Japan - it's got a very lackluster nightlife," she explained.
"Let me qualify that because I actually don't have a clue what Japan's nightlife if like.
"When I was there I went looking for it and I felt like I was in Lost In Translation.
"I felt like I was in that film because everywhere I looked, the closest thing I'd come to finding a nightclub or a bar - or anywhere I could dance - was VIP rooms with male escorts.
"That was the extent of it," she laughed. "All the male escorts in Japan have this died long golden blonde hair."
