Actor Chase Stokes has shared details regarding the physical and mental health challenges he experienced during the production of the Netflix series ‘Outer Banks’. He reported sustaining multiple injuries, including a dislocated shoulder and three concussions, the latter of which caused episodes of short-term memory loss. To manage these issues, Stokes utilized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and reduced his participation in action sequences.

Stokes also addressed mental health struggles, specifically body dysmorphia driven by internet scrutiny of his appearance. In subsequent discussions, he explicitly denied rumors of having undergone plastic surgery, calling such claims the “most ridiculous assumption” and stating, “On the record, I will say it, I’ve never had any work done on my face.” Additionally, he revealed that the production demands led to complications with his liver and kidney functions, requiring bi-weekly blood tests for monitoring.
