The Vampire Diaries alum Nina Dobrev opens up about dirt bike accident and recovery

Nina Dobrev, known for her role in 'The Vampire Diaries,' recently shared details about the dirt bike accident that led to her knee surgery. During a June 12th episode of 'The Talk,' the 35-year-old actress revealed it was her first time leaving the house in over two months since the incident.

"I had knee surgery; I got a giant brace. I can't really walk on my own yet...I had a fractured knee as well as ACL repair and meniscus," she explained. Dobrev then described the accident, stating she was dirt biking for the first time when she lost control, resulting in a severe knee injury.

Dobrev first announced her recovery from the accident on Instagram in May, with a post captioned "how it started vs how it's going." Now, she's using her platform to share her experience and advocate against dirt biking, humorously stating, "I learned a lesson, don't ever get on a dirt bike."
