Selena Gomez’s revelation about her donated kidney during her interview for Rolling Stone’s November cover has sparked intrigue and curiosity. The multi-talented artist opened up about her Apple TV documentary, “My Mind and Me,” which intimately explores her ongoing battle with both mental and physical health, particularly her struggle with Lupus, a condition affecting over 1.5 million Americans, according to the Lupus Foundation.

In 2017, Gomez’s health took a serious turn, necessitating a kidney transplant due to complications from Lupus. In a heartfelt Instagram post announcing the surgery, Gomez publicly thanked her close friend Francia Raísa for her remarkable act of kindness in becoming her kidney donor. “She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me,” Gomez wrote, emphasizing the importance of the transplant for her overall well-being.

Despite the gravity of undergoing such a life-saving procedure, Gomez managed to maintain her sense of humor throughout. She revealed to Rolling Stone that she even affectionately named her new kidney “Fred,” inspired by comedian Fred Armisen. Gomez confessed her admiration for Armisen’s work on “Portlandia” and humorously expressed her secret wish for him to stumble upon the revelation. “I named it after Fred Armisen because I love Portlandia. I’ve never met him, but I’m secretly hoping he finds that out,” she said, adding, “I want him to be like, ‘That’s weird.'”

Fred Armisen, known for his versatile talents showcased in “Portlandia” and “Saturday Night Live,” is set to portray Uncle Fester in the upcoming Netflix series “Wednesday,” slated for release on November 23.

While representatives for Armisen have yet to respond to inquiries about Gomez’s lighthearted tribute, fans are captivated by the singer’s resilience and humor in the face of adversity.
