Anna Gunn, widely known for her portrayal of Skyler White on the iconic show , faced more than just on-screen drama during the final season. Fans and critics noticed a significant change in her appearance, particularly her noticeable weight gain. Speculations were rampant, with many attributing the change to various reasons, from storyline demands to personal lifestyle choices. However, the truth behind Gunn's weight gain is far more personal and tragic than most fans realized.
During the filming of final season, Anna Gunn was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a chronic autoimmune disease that can cause widespread inflammation and tissue damage in the affected person's body. The condition often results in severe fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and, in Gunn's case, significant swelling and weight gain. "I was actually ill while I was filming the show, and it affected my weight," Gunn revealed in a candid interview.
The actress was undergoing treatment that included cortisone, a medication known to cause swelling and weight gain, which contributed to her changed appearance on screen.
Despite her visible transformation, Gunn hesitated to disclose her battle with lupus publicly.
