The Dead to Me actress, 54, shared a lighthearted Instagram video on December 18 that quickly delighted fans. In the clip, Applegate is seen relaxing in bed, laughing while trying to swallow a dietary supplement and showing off her shiny, cherry-red lips.
The video was filmed by her hairstylist and close friend Dave Stanwell, who jokingly comments on her bold lip color. Applegate later explained in the comments that the lip stain was the same peel-off product Billie Eilish once used. “It goes on and then you have to peel,” she wrote, adding that she was trying to let it dry, which made her laugh awkwardly.
At one point in the video, Applegate covers her mouth while giggling and says, “I’m trying to swallow a pill.” Stanwell playfully responds in the background with a cheeky joke, making the moment even more humorous. He later reposted the clip, sarcastically writing, “We have zero fun together.”
Applegate followed up with a caption clearing up any confusion. She explained that the pill was her vegan omega supplement and confirmed her love for peel-off lip stains. “And I’m weird,” she added, giving credit to Stanwell for the laughs.
Fans also noticed a bright green cup behind her, which Applegate jokingly referred to as an “alien.” In the comments, she later explained that it helps her manage daily challenges related to MS. “I can’t walk the stairs. And glass is hard for me,” she shared. “So when I get down for water, alien cup.”
Applegate also interacted warmly with fans who asked about her glasses, revealing they were an old Tom Ford pair. Many followers praised her appearance and strength, offering words of encouragement and solidarity. Several fans living with MS sent supportive messages, wishing her comfort and joy during the holiday season.
Despite the challenges she faces, Applegate’s video showed her trademark wit and openness—reminding fans that laughter and honesty remain a powerful part of her journey.
