Anna Paquin made a rare appearance on the red carpet after more than a year to promote her latest film, 'A Bit of Light,' directed by her husband and 'True Blood' co-star Stephen Moyer. The Academy Award-winning actress revealed that she has been facing health challenges over the past two years, leading to mobility issues that require her to use a cane for assistance.
In an interview with People, Paquin shared that the journey has been tough for her, especially needing a cane to walk. She also mentioned experiencing difficulties with her speech as a result of her undisclosed health condition. However, there is hope for a full recovery, according to a source close to the actress.
'A Bit of Light' features Paquin in the role of a struggling mother who moves in with her father, played by Ray Winstone, after losing custody of her children to her ex-husband and his new partner. The film's ensemble cast includes Youssef Kerkour, Pippa Bennett-Warner, and Luca Hogan.
Reflecting on her passion for independent filmmaking, Paquin expressed her love for storytelling with integrity and truth. She praised her husband's directing skills, emphasizing that he is her favorite collaborator on set. Despite her personal connection to Moyer, Paquin noted that her decision to star in the film was based on his talent as a director rather than sentimental reasons.
'A Bit of Light' is set to hit theaters on Friday, April 5, distributed by Quiver. Fans can anticipate a compelling narrative brought to life by Paquin's dedication to her craft and her partnership with Moyer behind the camera.
