Evangeline Lilly Recalls Calling Michael Douglas A 'GILF' In Front Of Children

Actress Evangeline Lilly opened up about how she boldly called Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer "GILFS" in the presence of children.

Lilly made the remark while filming "Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania," which she co-starred in with Douglas and Pfeiffer.

She recently spoke on her past disdain for superhero movies and mentioned that she declined Hugh Jackman's invitation to play a role in "X-Men."

The "Real Steel" actress appeared in a soon-to-air episode of the "Jonathan Ross Show" where she revealed that she told her co-star on "Ant-Man" that she'd like to "f**k" him.

In narrating the awkward moment on set where she revealed she called the actors "GILFs," one shocking fact she pointed out was that she did it in front of several children.

"There was this day on set, we were doing a scene in a restaurant and we were in a waiting room, so they filmed the waiting room with extras and there were children," she shared on the show.

"I turned to Michael and Michelle, and I said, 'You know, you guys are real GILFs,'" Lilly added.

Lilly, 43, described the incident in more detail, highlighting that Douglas' lack of understanding of her sexual intent resulted in it being treated with indifference.

"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," she divulged.

According to the Daily Mail, Lilly then realized she had told Douglas she wanted to "f**k" him and that she shouldn't have done so with so many children around.

"GILF," which stands for Grandpa I'd Like to F**k, is a version of the popular term "MILF," which stands for Mom I'd Like to F**k, and became well-known thanks to the 1990 movie "American Pie."

The "Lost" alum later revealed that getting the role in "The Hobbit" franchise was a dream come true for her, having previously admitted that she had turned down offers to star in several big-budget films.

Lilly shared her joy on the show as she noted that she's a fan of the franchise and had read the book when she was 13, which was her favorite at the time. She also shared that she read "Lord of The Rings" as a teenager.

"I fantasized night after night about being a woodland elf. And then I was retired, I'd just given birth to my first baby and I got a call… I really didn't want to act but I was like, 'I really want to do that,'" she said to host Jonathan Ross.

Lilly also revealed that she had to steal a major relic on the set of the movie to add to her archive as a fan of the franchise. "There was this really, really important prop, the runestone that Kili gave to Tauriel. They had made about a dozen of them and one of them had been chosen. It was beautifully crafted," she divulged.

"We used all the other ones for rehearsals. It really was the best one, so between takes on one of the scenes I just slipped it into my pocket and then I was like, 'Um, guys I think I've dropped the runestone, I don't know where it is,'" she added.

She said a frantic search for the prop ensued, but she didn't return it, noting that the director was pissed at the time.

Lilly recently revealed that she turned down a chance to star in "X-Men" upon Hugh Jackman's request. In an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, she disclosed that Jackman personally requested for her to star in the movie while they were on set for "Real Steel" in 2011.

"He was like, 'Hey, so, the X-Men guys are asking me if I'd approach you because they know you won't talk to anyone,'" she shared, per Entertainment Weekly. "They knew I was working with you and were interested to know if it would ever interest you to do an X-Men thing."

The actress noted that she blatantly declined the offer, going on to reveal that she wasn't into superhero movies, which made her feel she was rude to him. Lilly also revealed that she almost turned down "Ant-Man" but was advised against it by her agent.

She narrated that against her initial disposition, her agent had asked her to check out Marvel movies, to which she was left amazed.  "When I did, I was like, 'Oh, they're doing something very different and very cool,'" she said.
