Evangeline Lilly is showing the extent of her facial injuries after fainting and hitting a boulder at the beach.
“I fainted at the beach. And fell face-first into a boulder,” the Lost actress, 45, wrote in a Substack blog on Friday, May 30, alongside photos of her injuries.
Lilly went on to reveal how she has experienced similar fainting spells in the past.
“At the hospital, the nurses and doctor went straight into action, more determined to find the cause of my blackout than to stitch up the hole punctured into my face by the rock,” she wrote. “I smiled wryly at them. ‘You won’t find anything,’ I said with a woozy voice.”

“I have had ‘absent’ and fainting spells since I was a little girl. The doctors checked me for epilepsy when I was young and then settled on the idea of hypoglycemia (without doing any testing),” Lilly wrote. “For a good chunk of my life, I went with that – hypoglycemia. It added up — my metabolism is through the roof and I metabolize sugars, particularly, with [shocking] efficiency.”
However, the Ant-Man and the Wasp star said that medical testing as an adult appeared to rule out hypoglycemia. As such, the cause of her “blackouts” remains a mystery.
Samir Hussein/WireImageLilly wrote that she believes that her fainting spells might have something to do with her emotional well-being. “I have come to believe that this ‘checking out’ is a result of my little soul reaching her limit of what she feels she can cope with in this life, and she ‘leaves the building,’ so to speak,” she explained.
“It is my conclusion, after enough of these episodes and enough medical testing to rule out different factors, that my soul longs to return,” Lilly continued. “That when she has had enough, when the pain becomes too great, the stresses beyond overwhelming, the shattered idealism crushing, my soul exits my body and returns to pure spirit.”

After these events, the actress said she often feels “love, light and peace” when she regains consciousness. “It might seem crazy looking at my face and my busted tooth, but I feel so grateful that I blacked out. I needed the reset,” she said.
Last year, Lilly revealed that she was stepping away from Hollywood, though she said she might return to acting one day.
“I am so filled with joy and contentment today as I live out my vision,” the Marvel star shared via Instagram. “Praise God, I feel so grateful for my blessings. Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfillment.”
She added, “I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong. A new season has arrived, and I AM READY…and I AM HAPPY. .”
