Hollywood is a high-pressure zone, and going to a psychiatrist is a basic schedule for celebrities.
Not only does it need to be channeled and prevented from depression, but some celebrities are already sick.
For example, Lady Gaga suffers from fibromyalgia syndrome, which causes long-term pain throughout her body, and there is still no good cure.
Hugh Jackman suffers from basal skin cancer in real life, and although he doesn't heal himself like wolverine, Uncle Hugh beat cancer 6 times in 3 years.
Harry Potter Daniel Redcliffe had a movement disorder in which hand-eye coordination was poor and it was difficult to write with his shoelaces. Fortunately, he found self-confidence in his performance because of his inferiority since childhood.
Today Shu is going to talk about Hollywood actress Selma Blair, who was interviewed for the first time in recent times after her illness was made public.
She is not very famous in China, and it is estimated that not many people can call out her name, but she is still well known in the United States.
In 1991, as newcomers, she and Sarah Michelle Gella starred in Dangerous Games.
The two won the MTV Film Award for Best Kiss Scene together for this film. (Emphasis: This is not a hime piece!) ）
In the 2001 movie "LegalLytic Pretty Lady", she played the second female Vivian.
At the beginning, she appeared as a very image, which was the love enemy of the heroine.
Later, she left the scumbag and became friends with the heroine.
In 2002, she collaborated with Jared Leto and Jack Gyllenhaal on Outlaw Road.
At that time, they were still braving a childish breath, and no one would have expected the two male protagonists of this film, one won an Oscar and played the Joker, and the other went to the classic movie "Brokeback Mountain".
In the two Hellboys directed by Gilmour del Toro, Selma Blair plays Liz, a flame woman.
In the original comics, Liz and Hellboy are just friends, but in the movie, the two are lovers, and Liz is pregnant with twins.
Not long ago, Selma walked the red carpet for vanity fair Oscar parties.
If you look at the photos, you may not be able to guess that she is 46 years old, nor can you imagine that this beautiful and beautiful beauty in front of you has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (ms), nearly 10 years since the onset of the disease.
In 2018, she made the news public on her social media accounts.
Not for the sake of sympathy, Selma's words are all thanks to those who help and love her, and explain the symptoms of the disease to carry out simple science popularization so that more people have an understanding of the disease and pay attention to it.
She said that since she gave birth in 2011, she has kind of found that something is not right, and the disease must have actually found her sooner than this.
This is a central nervous system demyelinating disease, the cause is unknown, everyone's condition is also different, can not be cured but alleviated, pray not to worsen.
Fatigue and wanting to sleep is probably the mildest symptom of MS reaction in Selma.
Unable to hold things, trembling hands and legs, not listening to calls, often falling, these phenomena still occur in the early days.
Then there is the need to walk on crutches.
Due to spastic dysphonia, she used all her strength to speak, and syllables popped out of her mouth intermittently.
The data shows that about 2.3 million people worldwide have MS, and people in their 20s and 30s have a greater incidence of the disease, and the incidence of women is 2 to 3 times that of men.
MS can cause dizziness and nausea, affect sight and balance, cause numbness and paralysis of the limbs, and even urinary incontinence.
Selma remembers crying after the diagnosis.
Not because she was afraid, but because she was going to lose control of her body like a frozen person.
Faced with the doctor's lack of attention, poor physical and mental state, the panic and anxiety of not being able to shoot and losing her job and supporting her family, she chose to drink alcohol for a while.
This kind of thing falls on a female star who loves to perform and does not do less charity, which is too cruel.
Thankfully, she was reinvigorated and did everything in her power to encourage and help those who, like herself, were battling the disease.
In fact, before Selma fell ill, her life was not smooth.
In 1990, at the age of 18, Selma worked on T. S. Eliot's theatrical work The Cathedral Murder, but failed.
Her English teacher advised her not to give up, and that was the first time she had the idea of deciding to become an actress.
However, in the same year that she found her dream, her green plum bamboo horse suddenly died unexpectedly in the dormitory the day before his birthday.
Heartbroken, Selma said: "It made me realize I had to live... The boy I love is not on this planet, and I'd better live and do something. ”
She was almost homeless when she first came to New York to pursue her dreams, when she lived in the Salvation Army, which was similar in nature to the shelter.
However, she attended New York University and took a performance course at Stella Adler's Acting Studio.
She later returned to Michigan to complete her studies, taking both fine arts and English, as well as a degree in photography art and a degree in psychology.
After returning to New York after graduation, she began her own hard work.
After 75 auditions, she signed her first TELEVISION advertising contract and officially became a member of the Screen Actors Guild.
From TV commercials, TV series, to movies, after experiencing trials everywhere, scenes being cut and other twists and turns, she won a few slightly more important roles.
Love Is Not Spicy (2002)
Her popularity grew step by step under her efforts, and more and more people got to know her.
FHM Magazine's "100 Sexiest Women of 2004" and Glamour's 50 Most Attractive Women of 2008 were both on the list.
After being active on stage for a while, Selma recorded an audiobook of The Anne Frank, which received rave reviews and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Reading Album in the Children's Category.
In terms of emotional life, Selma probably never found the right person.
She was married to musician Ahmet Zappa for 2 years, and fashion designer Jason Bleick for 2 years and had a son, but the two broke up a year after she gave birth to her son.
Selma and ex-husband
It's not easy for a single mom to raise a child while making money, and coupled with her illness, it's really hard to imagine how much she has to pay to be a good mother.
Resisting the torment of illness, she insisted on finishing the science fiction American drama "Alien Life" (expected to be broadcast this year), and the staff of Netflix helped her keep secrets from the outside world when she was ill.
Neuroscientists told her to waste less energy on talking to attract attention, and Selma held back tears in the interview and said, "But I want to say it because I love the camera." ”
Walking on the vanity fair red carpet was the first time she put herself in the spotlight since she was diagnosed, laughing and laughing, she still couldn't help but cry.
The red carpet she used to walk easily on in her high heels now requires her to take crutches and mobilize all her strength and courage.
The photographers present cheered and applauded her.
Getty's photographer Mike Coppola snapped the photo that night.
She turned her head and raised her left hand to pause in the air for a second, as if she were determined to take control of her body. I snapped my favorite photos of the night and captured the most vulnerable moments I've ever experienced. ”
Strong women are always the most beautiful.
Uncle really hopes that God will bless Selma so that she can live a good life.
