Christina Applegate‘s all about her reality TV. She loves it. Check that, she’s obsessed!
The 52-year-old actress divulged the tidbit during her recent appearance on James Corden’s This Life of Mine show on SiriusXM. The Married …with Children star was initially asked if music is helping her cope with her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis, and the actress emphatically shut that down.
“No, I find reality television very useful. Yeah, that’s kind of it for me,” she said.
Corden responded asking, “That’s it?”
Yes, that’s it!
“Anyone who knows me well knows that it’s on 24/7 in my room, ’cause I don’t leave my room very often. I know that that sounds really depressing but it’s kind of, like, I just need to sleep sometimes,” she continued. “Yeah, reality TV. Everything. Give me any of it.”
And Applegate has a healthy appetite for reality TV.
“Give me a Vanderpump. Give me a Below Deck. Give me a Housewife,” she said. “Even give me Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay. I’ll watch like nine seasons of that in like two days.”
She’s just like us!
As for why, well, Applegate (like the rest of us) enjoys seeing the different sides to everyone.
“I love watching the imperfections of real people. Really, like, wow, those people exist. I love that,” she said. “That’s why I love reality TV. Because they freak me out that they walk this Earth acting like that.”
By the way, it’s no secret Applegate loves her some Below Deck. She shared as much during a December 2022 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where Clarkson surprised her with a special message from the one and only Captain Lee Rosbach.
“I just want to say thank you for being such a big fan. and I want to encourage you to stay strong and remember that a good sailor never learned a damn thing in calm seas,” he told her in a recorded message in part. “So I know you’re gonna navigate these waters just fine. And if you decide you wanna set sail again, you just let me know, ’cause we have a deck chair with your name written all over it.”
