Christina Applegate: Shy Shopper Thu, 17-Sep-2009
Not wanting to have her picture taken, Christina Applegate shied away from the paparazzi while shopping in Brentwood on Wednesday afternoon (September 16).
The former “Married with Children” star looked cute in a purple shirt, slacks and a brown beanie as she picked up a few items at a local shop.
Meanwhile, the actress isn’t afraid to tell that she has something missing in her life - her breasts!
The star went under reconstruction surgery due to breast cancer and had an operation including a double mastectomy as part of her treatment.
"It's really hard because they just aren't the same - and I had really good ones,” Christina tells Women's Health magazine. “If you have boobs you don't like, you can go and choose the size you want, and then get a brand new present. But it's different when it's not your choice.”
Trying to stay optimistic, Applegate says, “I hold on to the fact that I don’t have to wear a bra, which is great!”
And while others may have handled the situation in pain and sorrow – that’s not Christina. “I laughed more in the hospital than I ever have in my life, making fun of all the weird things that were happening to me. My friends would walk in with this sad look, and I would throw something at them and say, Come on! This isn't the end of the world!”
