Fans of Legally Blonde actress Selma Blair are thrilled to hear of her acting comeback. The star took a break in 2018 after she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The actress shared that she is prepared to make her comeback.

In an exclusive interview with E! News at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment event, held on December 4, Selma Blair revealed that she would be in a movie in February next year.

“I think mostly it's really just making sure I have stamina again. Because those days are really long on set. But I've done a couple smaller roles over this past year, like a couple sprinkled in there to get my feet wet,” she told the news outlet.

Adding:

“You know, it comes back to me—I'm really ready to work.”

When asked what her fans should expect from the movie, Selma teased that she would be getting a new hairstyle.

“I'll have to dye my hair dark again. So I'll be back to O.G. Selma.”

In the exclusive interview, Blair shared with E! News’ Erin Lim Rhodes that she wasn't the only one interested in a new hairdo. She revealed that her son, Arthur Saint Bleick, recently went through a shocking hair transformation. According to the actress, Arthur got a dye job when she wasn't around.

“He dyed his hair electric red when I was out of town. I was like, ‘Oh, no, you can't have that for school, so then he dyed it black with the red roots, so it's purple. And I'm like, ‘Your grades better be really great.”

She found his actions adorable.

“He's in a really cute stage as a teenager,” she added.

“I wish he felt the same way.”
