Christina Applegate, known for her iconic roles in TV shows like Married… with Children and Dead to Me, has recently opened up about her new reality of using walking sticks. After undergoing a double mastectomy and hysterectomy due to breast cancer, Applegate has been forced to embrace her new normal with poise and glamour.
In an interview with Today, Applegate expressed, “I’m not afraid to say that I need help, or I need a cane, or I do whatever I need to do to take care of myself because this is my new normal. And I’m embracing the new normal. I’m getting very flamboyant with my canes and my sticks.”
Indeed, the actress has been spotted accessorizing with vibrant and fashionable walking sticks, including a crystal-encrusted silver cane at the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Applegate’s candidness about her journey with cancer and her approach to living with disabilities has inspired many in the disabled community.
As noted by the Guardian, Applegate joins a long list of celebrities who have opted to embrace their disabilities publicly, including actor Selma Blair, who has also been open about living with multiple sclerosis. Their openness has helped to not only normalize disabilities but also bring attention to the struggles and discrimination faced by those living with physical limitations.
In an industry that places high value on aesthetics and functioning without visible disabilities, Applegate’s decision to embrace her new normal with glamour and flamboyance is truly refreshing and uplifting. By making the choice to showcase her walking sticks as accessories, instead of trying to conceal them, she is setting a powerful example of acceptance and self-love that reaches far beyond Hollywood.
As Applegate continues to navigate her new normal, it is clear that her strength and resilience will continue to inspire and empower others. The lesson we can learn from her is that it is possible to make the most of challenging circumstances and embrace change with grace and creativity.
