In a world where we often shy away from the topic of death, Christina Applegate is taking matters into her own hands. The beloved actress, known for her vibrant roles and sharp wit, has recently revealed in an NPR podcast that she thinks about death every day. This candid admission comes as she bravely battles multiple sclerosis, a condition that gives her an extra reason to reflect on her mortality.
What’s particularly striking is that Applegate has already bought her burial plots—or should we say “final picnic spots”? She’s even made arrangements for herself and two others, thinking ahead to lighten the load for her loved ones. It’s a decision filled with practicality and thoughtfulness, making her fans admire her even more for her courage in confronting such a heavy topic.
As if that weren’t enough, Applegate has plans for a tree to be planted at the site, ensuring that visitors will have some beautiful shade when they come to pay their respects—definitely a more inviting option than a plain old tombstone! Her ability to find lightness in such a serious matter is a reminder that life is all about perspective. So here’s to Christina, who’s not just planning ahead but still living life with a sense of humor, even in the face of reality. It makes you wonder—how would you plan your own final resting place?
