“But in the absence of \ufeffaffordable medical care<\/a> in this country, I am sharing some of the advice [given] to me.”<\/p>\n

“So, I do have brain damage from the TBI, traumatic brain injury,” the actress revealed.<\/p>\n

“But now my job is to get to the bottom of that with the doctors<\/a>, 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,” she said.<\/p>\n

She revealed that there had been a silver lining to the experience; with the injury and resulting cognitive decline forcing her to “slow down\ufeff” and end the year in a more “restful” way.<\/p>\n

Lilly announced her retirement from acting in 2024, with \ufeffher last role being superhero Hope van Dyne, in the 2023 film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantomania.<\/p>\n
