7 Jan - Evangeline Lilly has recently revealed that she has traumatic brain injury that was caused by a mishap in Hawaii back in May last year.

The actress shared as much in a video posted on social media, saying that she had done some brain scans and found that "almost every area" in her 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 added. "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."

It was back in June last year that the "Ant-Man and the Wasp" star announced that she was stepping away from acting temporarily, with her last project being "Quantumania".

"I could return tomorrow, two years from now or never, but at the moment I am not actively pursuing any work in the industry and am not under any contractual obligations to anybody. I am devoting my time to my humanitarian work and my writing," she added.

Back in May last year, Lilly revealed that she fainted at the beach and fell face first into a boulder.
