“You go on the set, and you play a badass character, and you walk through fire, and you speak to hundreds of people, and you’re being asked to be – to work as hard as you possibly can. And that became the thing that just saved me from considering my own mortality, yeah,” she said of working on the set while dealing with her first aneurysm.

She went on to explain that the second aneurysm nearly killed her and caused a part of her brain to die, which she worried was her acting ability.

“So, they literally were looking at the brain and being like, ‘Well, we think it could be – could be her concentration, it could be her peripheral vision,’” she said.

“I always say it’s my taste in men,” she joked.

“For a very long time, I thought it was my ability to act…that was a deep paranoia.”
