Clarke, who is currently promoting her debut in the West End Theatre’s production of The Seagull, first opened up about her aneurysms in 2019, detailing the near-death experiences in a personal essay for The New Yorker. According to Clarke, the first aneurysm took place when she was 24, during a gym training session in London.
During Sunday’s interview, Clarke, whose organization SameYou provides mental-health support to stroke and brain-injury survivors, reflected on her healing journey and on coming to terms with the part of her brain she’s lost. “I thought, Well, this is who you are. This is the brain you have,” Clarke said. “There’s no point in continually racking your brains about what might not be there.”
