The Ant-Man and the Wasp star went on to say that she went through “a pretty dark time” coping with being a celebrity and in the public eye. So much so that she planned on retiring after Lost. She even moved to Hawaii, where she still lives with her partner Norman Kail and their two sons.
The 38-year-old, who described herself as “reclusive” in a recent issue of Shape magazine, revealed that after being off the grid, she’s now “made peace” with being a public figure and “embraces all the things that made me uncomfortable.” She added, “I had to find a place in which I could be happy. And now I very much am.”
