The Xena star’s freak accident

Kiwi star Lucy Lawless (50) is best known for her magnificen­t fighting moves in ’90s cult television show

Xena: Warrior Princess.

But when she was concussed recently, it was doing something considered far less dangerous – yoga!

The actress took to Twitter to explain how the accident happened. “A month ago I got kicked in the head at yoga (!) by an overzealou­s handstande­r. Three weeks later I was experienci­ng confusion, balance issues and depression. I thought concussion was for rugby players. I have dropped out of all commitment­s to mend.”

She also cautioned her fans, “Take care of your brain!”

It was recently announced that Lucy has landed the lead role as fearless investigat­or Alexa Crow in a new Australian drama series,

My Life Is Murder, due on TV screens next year. Fingers crossed she is completely recovered before filming begins.
