Marvel star's gruesome injuries after horror boulder ordeal left her in hospital
Lost star Evangeline Lilly shared a gruesome image of her bloodied, injured face after she fell into a boulder while on the beach. The actress, who also starred in the Marvel films, fainted while enjoying a day at the beach, falling face-first into a boulder, chipping a tooth.
The 45-year-old described the horrific accident to her followers, explaining how she was even hospitalised, with nurses and doctors left frantically trying to get to the bottom of her fall. She wrote: "I fainted at the beach. And fell face first into a boulder."
The Ant-Man star continued: "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. I smiled wryly at them. 'You won't find anything.' I said with a woozy voice..."
But Evangeline's boulder ordeal wasn't the first time she's dealt with random "fainting spells", with the star coming up with a theory behind her sudden-onset episodes. The star was even checked by medical professionals who were stumped by her condition, and was tested for epilepsy.
Evangeline explained more in a Substack post: "For a good chunk of my life, I went with that – hypoglycemia. It added up — my metabolism is through the roof and I metabolise sugars, particularly, with [shocking] efficiency."
But after her fasting glucose levels and iron were all confirmed to be in the normal range, Evangeline believes there is something more mystical at play. She added: "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."
Evangeline elaborated on her "unmedical" theory in her post. She wrote: "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."
The Canadian star, who drew criticism during the Covid pandemic for refusing to self-isolate, also proposed changes to the healthcare system. She wrote: "I can picture hospitals where doctors are trained not just in biology, but also in philosophy and the mystic arts of healing; where patients are held not pushed along, seen not filed, heard not interrogated; where nurses are trusted not suspected, where doctors are given space to consult their deepest self when solving the hardest riddles."
She added that her partner told her she looks like she "dies" when she has her attacks. The Reel Steel actress added: "He gets very afraid. My eyes roll back in my head, and all life leaves my body.
"He is constantly checking my nose and mouth for breath. This time was no exception. He wasn't with me at the beach, but on the way to the hospital I blacked out again."
Evangeline made the decision to step away from acting in June 2024, after initially rising to fame when she played Kate Austen in the ABC hit series Lost. Telling her fans with an Instagram video, the mother-of-two wrote: 'I am so filled with joy and contentment today as I live out my vision.
"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 fulfilment. I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong.'

Duke and Duchess of Westminster ‘thrilled' as they welcome first child
Billionaire aristocrat Hugh Grosvenor and his wife Olivia, who married last year, have welcomed a baby girl born in London on Sunday, named Cosima Florence Grosvenor. 'The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are thrilled to announce the birth of their baby daughter,' a spokesperson for the couple said. 'Both the duchess and Cosima are doing well. 'The duke and duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family.' The duke, one of the UK's biggest landowners, is a close friend of both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, and godfather to Prince George and also reportedly to Prince Archie. William acted as an usher at his wedding in Chester Cathedral in June last year but Harry mutually agreed with the groom he would not attend amid his long-running rift with his brother. Hugh, once considered one of the country's most eligible bachelors, became an instant billionaire when he inherited his title and control of the historic Grosvenor Estate aged 25, following the death of his father from a heart attack in 2016. His property company, Grosvenor Group, owns hundreds of acres of land in Mayfair and Belgravia, as well as major city centre developments such as Liverpool's One shopping centre. In 2020, the duke donated £12.5 million to the UK's Covid-19 relief effort including funds for NHS Charities Together and for medical research and development.
