Selma Blair performed blindfolded on 'Dancing with the Stars' on Monday night (03. 10. 22).
The 50-year-old actress - who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018 - performed with Sasha Farber while wearing a blindfold, after previously suffering sensory overload due to the studio lights and the audience. Selma explained: "It was helping me to block out some of the noise. "I do get real sensory overload and shut my eyes a lot so this was a gift, but also can be quite disorientating but really thrilling.
I loved it, and I love Sasha. " The actress and Sasha performed an impressive rumba to Sheena Easton’s 'For Your Eyes Only'. Sasha subsequently explained how the blindfold helped his dance partner during their routine.
The 38-year-old dancer - who has previously been partnered with the likes of Simone Biles and pop star Ally Brooke - said: "The whole point for the blindfold was, when I see Selma, there’s a disconnect from the brain to the body, she tends to close her eyes. When she’s learning a step, and she can’t control her body, she closes her eyes. "So I wanted to make her feel as comfortable as I possible can on the dance floor.
We gave it a whirl. It worked. It was a gamble and I’m so proud of her.
" Elsewhere, Charli D'Amelio and Mark Ballas performed a sensual rumba during the James Bond-themed week that earned them a score of 33 out of 40. On the other hand, Sam Champion and Cheryl Burke found themselves in the bottom two alongside Cheryl Ladd and Louis van Amstel.
