Lilly 'hated being a flight attendant'
Evangeline Lilly has revealed that working as a flight attendant and a mechanic were her worst ever jobs.

The Lost actress confessed to Metro that she "hated" being part of Air Canada's cabin crew.

She said: "I did it for a month and then quit. To me, flying is a constant battle. When I get on a plane, I go into war mode and think: 'I’ve got to get through this.'

"I didn't like the wear and tear on my body and psyche. Being up in those altitudes and working across different time zones really does take it out of you. It's not healthy. I could feel that instantly."

However, the 28-year-old Canadian claimed that working as a mechanic in the freezing cold was much more difficult.

"I was a mobile grease monkey," she said. "I'd drive a one-tonne truck to parking lots and work on vehicles. It wasn't glamorous."
