Smart wrote, "LIFE has a funny way of happening to you. Today I very unwilling had to pull out of the play #Futureproof due to a freak accident involving a #fidgetspinner and a small child."
According to the Irish Examiner, the actress was standing in a shop in her hometown of Cork, Ireland, when a child lost control of a fidget spinner. In the chaos that ensued, the child ended up hitting Smart behind her ear, giving her a concussion. Doctors ordered Smart to rest for up to two weeks to recover from the head injury.
The fidget spinner incident couldn't have come at a worse time for Smart who was set to appear in a play called Futureproof.
Just two weeks prior, Smart tweeted about her excitement over the new role.
