Selma Blair has some good news about her battle with multiple sclerosis.
The “Legally Blonde” actress, 55, announced this week that she is “truly in remission” from the debilitating disease that she was first diagnosed with back in 2018.
“I am doing amazingly well,” Blair told People during The Daily Front Row’s 9th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards on Thursday, April 24. “I’ve been feeling great for about a year.”
She added, “But I am finally well enough to really, genuinely – I always try and feel my best – but now that I actually have stamina and energy and getting out and going out isn’t so scary.”
Even better is that the “Cruel Intentions” star “would love” to return to acting now that her MS is in remission.
“It’s funny, I haven’t spent enough time having dreams,” the mom-of-one said at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. “And now it’s like, what are my dreams?”
“I think maybe since the diagnosis, you’re just tired all the time,” she continued. “I spent so much of my life so tired from being unwell that I think I just was trying to get through the day.”
“And now it’s like, wait,” Blair added, “I realize I don’t know what my goals are.”
But while her plans for the future are “much more career-oriented,” Blair also doesn’t plan to stop “advocating for people with chronic illness” following her bout with MS.
“But now I still am advocating for people with chronic illness and getting better, and what that looks like when you haven’t made your wishes,” she said. “How do we give ourselves a new life force?”
The “Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up” writer also said that she “would like to write a young adult book” now that she has a new lease on life.
Blair was at the fashion awards event in Beverly Hills on Thursday to present designer Betsey Johnson with a Lifetime Achievement Award. She praised Johnson and called the renowned designer an “icon” and her “spirit animal.”
“Betsey was my icon as a child. Of course, we love Chanel or Cacharel, but Betsey for young people was our couture that could be attainable,” the “Hellboy” actress gushed.
“But also, Betsey was always a good time,” Blair continued. “I remember doing cartwheels down the runway, and she was my spirit animal.”
Blair first announced her MS diagnosis in August 2018 in an emotional Instagram post.
“I have [multiple sclerosis]. I am in an exacerbation,” she revealed at the time. “By the grace of the lord, and will power and the understanding producers at Netflix, I have a job. A wonderful job.”
“I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy. And my left side is asking for directions from a broken GPS,” she continued. “But we are doing it. And I laugh and I don’t know exactly what I will do precisely, but I will do my best.”
She previously opened up about her battle with the autoimmune disease, and how it affects the central nervous system, during a wild interview on “The Drew Barrymore Show” back in February.
