HuffPost
The "Lost" actor said she "smashed my face open" on a boulder last year.
Evangeline Lilly is giving fans an update on her health after previously revealing that she had hit her face on a boulder last year.
The “Lost” star shared the “bad news” in an Instagram video last week, telling followers that her brain was “functioning at a decreased capacity.”
“I’m entering into this new year ― the Year of the Horse ― with some bad news about my concussion,” Lilly said. “A lot of you have inquired about the brain scans that you heard I got. And the results came back from the scans [that] showed that almost every area in my brain is functioning at a decreased capacity.”
“But now my job is to get to the bottom of that with doctors and then embark on the hard work of fixing it, which I don’t look forward to because I feel like hard work is all I do,” Lilly shared. “But that’s okay. My cognitive decline since I smashed my face open has helped me to slow down and helped me to have a more restful finish to my 2025.”
In her Instagram caption, Lilly shared that she does “have brain damage from my [traumatic brain injury].”
