Let’s talk about strength, friendship, and the power of connection. Selma Blair, who has been candid about her journey with multiple sclerosis, is not facing this battle alone. She has the unwavering support of her family, but also an unexpected ally in Michael J. Fox, who knows a thing or two about overcoming adversity himself.

A Heartwarming Moment with Michael J. Fox

On April 3, 2019, Selma took to Instagram to share a sweet moment with the legendary Back to the Future star. In the photo, the two are seen smiling for the camera with their arms around each other, both wearing nostalgic T-shirts featuring iconic underdog characters from the '70s. Selma’s caption captures the essence of their connection: “I like this man. I am not alone in feeling this way.” She went on to express her gratitude, noting how the pair’s outfits symbolized resilience and timeless spirit. “We are all a time capsule in this photo... my heart! Your presence. You. The best. Thank you.”

Shoutouts to Jennifer Grey and More

But wait, there’s more! Selma didn’t stop at thanking Michael J. Fox. She also gave a shoutout to none other than Jennifer Grey, star of Dirty Dancing, who snapped the photo. “I just blew your minds, right?” she teased in her caption. Selma’s ability to find humor and joy in challenging times is truly inspiring. Now, let’s talk about why this connection matters so much. Selma revealed her battle with multiple sclerosis back in October 2018, while Michael has been managing Parkinson’s disease since 1991. These two legends have a lot in common, and their bond is built on shared experiences and mutual understanding.

“He got in touch with me and we had a conversation,” Selma once revealed on Good Morning America. She added, “Really, he gives me hope. Plus, I was like, ‘I have Michael J. Fox’s email now—I’m pretty cool.’” That’s the kind of authenticity we all need more of in life.

A Candid Look at Challenges

Selma hasn’t shied away from sharing her struggles. Recently, she addressed concerns after a photo surfaced of her friend Sarah Michelle Gellar pushing her in a wheelchair during a Disneyland outing. “I can stand. I can walk,” she reassured her followers on Instagram. “But that uses up the whole day of energy.” Selma explained that she was still experiencing an exacerbation, which meant using a wheelchair was necessary for conserving energy. “I busted my tailbone or would use my #alinker… Seriously. Thank you Sarah and @jaime_king who basically saved me last week. And @reesewitherspoon who sent food for the weekend. I love you all.”
