Selma Blair Shares an Uplifting Health Update
Selma Blair is celebrating new strength and renewed energy as she continues her journey with multiple sclerosis. The 53-year-old actress, who went public with her MS diagnosis in 2018, says she’s been “relapse-free for a couple of years” and is steadily building stamina again.
In a new interview with People, Blair shared how far she’s come:
“I’m getting my stamina back all the time… I think my joy is always gonna be from my son.”
Blair joked that her son Arthur, 14, may not feel the same way, but she credits him as a major part of her resilience.
Feeling “Truly in Remission” After Years of Symptoms
Earlier this year, Blair revealed an even more hopeful milestone: she is “truly in remission.”
After years of fatigue, pain, and uncertainty, she says she’s finally experiencing long-lasting wellness.
“I am doing amazingly well. I’ve been feeling great for about a year,” she told People. “I actually have stamina and energy now, and getting out isn’t so scary.”
Blair’s recovery has allowed her to travel, collaborate on new projects, and find more joy in daily life.
Rediscovering Goals and Dreams After Years of Fatigue
For much of Blair’s life, chronic illness left her exhausted, making it hard to plan beyond the day in front of her. Now, with her health improving, she’s thinking about the future again.
“It’s funny, I haven’t spent enough time having dreams… I was just trying to get through the day. Now it’s like, what are my goals?”
Blair admitted that for years, she didn’t realize how much her illness narrowed her sense of possibility. Feeling well again has opened up space for new dreams — even ones she hasn’t fully defined yet.
Selma Blair Wants to Return to Acting — and Continue Advocating
Blair says she would “love” to return to acting, but her aspirations go beyond Hollywood. She remains committed to advocating for people living with chronic illness and helping others understand what healing can look like.
“I’m still advocating for people with chronic illness and getting better, and what that looks like when you haven’t made your wishes.”
With her renewed health, Blair is stepping into a future she once couldn’t imagine — one filled with energy, creativity, and purpose.
