Christina Applegate is getting playful in a new Instagram video amid her ongoing journey with multiple sclerosis.
In the clip, the Dead to Me actress, 54, showed off her shiny lips while taking a dietary supplement and laughing in bed.
“These lips are killing me,” hairstylist Dave Stanwell, who filmed the Dec. 18 video, says of the Married with Children alum’s cherry-red lip stain, which she explained in a comment was “the one Billie Eilish used haha sacheu. It goes on and then you have to peel. Which is why I was weird laughing. I was trying to have it dry. It’s incredible.”

“I’m trying to swallow a pill,” Applegate says.
“She’s good at swallowing, ladies and gentlemen,” Stanwell quips in his voice over, while laughing. “We have zero fun together,” he wrote, deadpan, in his own post of the video.
“So many explanations hahaha,” Applegate captioned her post. “First the pill is my vegan omega. And the lipstick are that stuff you put on and then peel off and I love that stuff. And I’m weird. @davestanwell for commentary and laughs.”
“And yes there is an alien behind me,” Applegate says, referencing the green drink bottle on her bedside table. “I shall explain later. No I didn’t go to a rave.”
