Anna Paquin Is Secretly Dealing With Health Issues but She’s Making Progress

Anna Paquin’s fans first raised concern for her health when she attended a red carpet event for her film, “A Bit of Light,” in April 2024. Fans remarked on her use of a cane, and the actress later opened up about her mobility issues, stemming from an illness which she chose not to share at the time.

“It hasn’t been easy,” she told People in April 2024 of her health challenges. At the time, People reports that a source told them the “True Blood” actress was expected to make a full recovery, although there was no definitive timeline on when this would be. It’s been over a year, and there has been some concern whether Paquin will continue to work in the entertainment industry.

What Has Been Said About Anna Paquin’s Health?

A recent update about Paquin’s health has come from an InTouch Weekly insider, not the actress and her team. “I totally understand people in the industry, especially folks who have been fans of Anna for decades, freaking out a little bit when they see her walking with a cane or hear her talk about her health issues,” the insider said, InTouch Weekly reports. “But the idea that her career is over or that she’s winding down the amount of acting she’s doing is absurd.”

The insider continued, “Anna is not retiring, and she and Stephen are staying in L.A. and continue to pursue work both individually and as a couple. When you talk to Anna there’s no question she is confident enough with the progress of her treatment to continue to work at the highest level possible.” This is excellent news for fans who have expressed their concern.

Anna Paquin’s Fans React To Seeing Her Using a Cane

Paquin has not shared more about her health on Instagram, but she did post photos from the “A Bit of Light” premiere on April 6, 2024. In the caption, she made no mention of her illness, but fans reacted to the post with messages of support.

“Here’s wishing the sassiest actress that I celebrate a healthy you. When neuro stuff hits, you get the chance to redefine yourself. Good luck,” a fan shared. “Hope your ok anna,” another person wrote. Fans have also used her Instagram post as a way to share their own struggles with invisible illnesses and offer words of encouragement.

The last post Paquin made was to celebrate her love for husband Stephen Moyer. In an Instagram post on October 14, 2024, she posted a selfie of them together in honor of Moyer’s birthday, referring to him as “the love of my life.” The insider also said that Paquin has the “most amazing support system” in her husband, InTouch Weekly reports.
