Anna Paquin, 41, to reveal mystery health battle after walking with a cane
Anna Paquin raised concern when she walked the red carpet of her latest film, “A Bit of Light,” with a cane in New York on Wednesday.
The Oscar winner, 41, gave a bit more insight into her mystery health battle during “Today With Hoda & Jenna” on Friday.
“I’m having a good day, today. Thank you for asking,” Paquin said on the NBC morning show, with her cane by her side.
While the “True Blood” alum didn’t go into specifics about her condition, she noted that she will “probably talk about that at some point.”
Paquin and her husband, Stephen Moyer, both matched in black ensembles as they attended the event at at the Crosby Street Hotel earlier this week.
“He’s got my back, and I’ve got his,” she gushed about the British actor, 54.
Moyer directed “A Bit of Light” while Paquin plays Ella, who tries to maintain her sobriety while moving back in with her father, Alan, after losing custody of her daughters.
“We’re extremely lucky. We met doing the thing we love. We met on what was, kind of, objectively, a dream gig,” she told co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager. “We got to know each other in our natural habitat.”
The “X-Men” star and the “Gifted” actor met on the set of the HBO vampire series “True Blood” in 2007 and married in 2010.
Paquin briefly opened up about her health to People on Wednesday night.
“It hasn’t been easy,” she said of her mobility issues and experiencing difficulties with her speech.
A source told the outlet that Paquin is expected to make a full recovery.
She went on to share more about the film, which also stars Ray Winstone and Pippa Bennett-Warner.
“Not everyone ends up having the journey with motherhood that they have hoped or had planned,” Paquin said of her character to the outlet.
“We’re all flawed and imperfect, and Ella is kind of, on some level, repeating some sort of familial patterns as far as stuffing feelings down,” she added. “It’s very relatable because there’s so many ways that people can get in their own way or sort of learn to cope with trauma.”
