Selma Blair Celebrates Being 'Truly Relapse-Free' After 7-Year MS Battle

Selma Blair is officially in her comeback era — and this time, it’s not just on screen. The 52-year-old actress, best known for her roles in "Legally Blonde" and "Cruel Intentions," shared that she is now "truly relapse-free" after a grueling seven-year journey with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Blair first revealed her MS diagnosis back in 2018. On Thursday, she announced she’s been feeling "amazingly well" for about a year. She told People magazine, "Now that I actually have stamina and energy, getting out and going out isn't so scary." Honestly, for someone who’s faced MS and Hollywood, that’s double the comeback.

With her health now stabilized, Blair says she’s finally letting herself dream again. She admitted, "I haven't spent enough time having dreams. And now it's like, ‘What are my dreams?’" After years of just getting through the day, rediscovering ambition sounds like a plot twist worthy of a new movie role.

Speaking of roles, Blair is eyeing a return to acting, with several projects reportedly lined up. In January, word got out that she’d be starring in three upcoming films: a drama about the Israel-Hamas war called "Stay Forte," a supernatural thriller "Silent," and "There There," a drama about twin brothers directed by real-life twins Michael and Mark Polish. Blair’s Hollywood chapter is far from over.

But she’s not stopping at acting. Blair, who wrote the 2022 memoir "Mean Baby: A Memoir of Growing Up," also revealed she plans to write a young adult fantasy book. Because why choose between Hollywood and Hogwarts?

Throughout her MS battle, Blair has been an outspoken advocate for people living with chronic illness. She’s used her platform to raise awareness and encourage others, sharing both struggles and victories. In her 2018 Instagram post disclosing her diagnosis, she shared candidly, "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. But we are doing it. And I laugh." If resilience was an Olympic sport, she’d be bringing home the gold.

Blair entered remission in 2021 after undergoing a stem cell transplant. She’s since chronicled her journey in the documentary "Introducing Selma Blair," offering a raw look at what fighting MS really means.

Now, she says she’s focused on advocating for others and figuring out what’s next for her. "How do we give ourselves a new life force?" she asks. Judging by her energy, she’s already found hers — and then some.
