Evangeline Lilly’s super tight costume in Ant-Man and the Wasp would not let her eat

Ant-Man and the Wasp star Evangeline Lilly says her extemely snug costume in the movie left her unable to eat on sets.

Evangeline Lilly says her Ant-Man and The Wasp superhero outfit was so restrictive that it made it unbearable for her to eat.

Evangeline Lilly’s costume may have been uncomfortable but she still felt sexy in it.

The Lost star reprises her role as Hope Van Dyne from 2015’s Ant-Man for the upcoming sequel. In the new movie, she becomes budding crimefighter the Wasp, who dons a form-fitting black leather bodysuit for the gig.

Lilly loved the sleek look of the costume, which she finds the “coolest suit in the Marvel universe”, but she didn’t realise quite how restrictive it would be until she tried to eat on set, reports aceshowbiz.com.

“I like to eat, I’m a big eater; I eat all day and I eat big quantities,” she said on Good Morning America.

“I’m wearing a corset in that suit, and I now know why women didn’t use to eat (while wearing the undergarments).

“It’s so uncomfortable to eat in a corset! You have to take tiny, little delicate nibbles all the time which was (not me), no!”

Nevertheless, she says the costume made her feel sexy.
