Anna Paquin made a public appearance after being away from red carpets for over a year, using a cane to walk at the premiere of her latest film “A Bit of Light.”
The Oscar-winning actress revealed to People magazine that she has been dealing with an undisclosed health issue for the past two years, resulting in mobility challenges and difficulties with her speech.
“It hasn’t been easy,” Anna candidly shared. While the specifics of the issue were not disclosed, a source expressed hope that the actress will make a full recovery.
The red carpet event was a rare public outing for Anna Paquin, who starred in the film directed by her husband and former “True Blood” co-star, Stephen Moyer. In “A Bit of Light,” Paquin portrays a struggling mother forced to move in with her father after losing custody of her children.
Despite the actress’ health challenges, she expressed her passion for independent filmmaking, stating,
“My first love was independent filmmaking. That’s how I entered the film industry. I was working with people who were all about telling stories and telling them with integrity and truth.”
Anna Paquin also praised her husband’s directorial skills, saying, “He’s my favorite person to play with,” while emphasizing her professional approach, adding, “I’m not sentimental when it comes to work.”
