Christina Applegate has been utilizing a dark sense of humor to partly deal with the multiple sclerosis diagnosis she received in 2021.
Appearing recently on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," Applegate started with a joke about how she contemplated entering the stage.
"I was thinking wouldn't it be funny if I came out and I did a somersault like Willy Wonka? And then I was like 'ta-da,' you'd be like 'What a b***h. She is such a liar.' I'm not. I'm literally disabled," the actress told Kimmel.
Kimmel then revealed how his texts with Applegate have shown she has a "very sick sense of humor."
"It's how I live. It's how I keep myself okay," she told the host.
Applegate continued, saying she wakes up crying everyday and discussed dealing with MS.
"I mean, it sucks. I'm not going to lie. And I think anyone who has MS isn't going to be like, 'This is the best thing that ever happened to me.'"
"Look, did I want this? No. Do I wish this up on anyone? No. But, now it's my normal," she stated.
