Alyssa Milano talked to TODAY about the status of the 'Who's the Boss' reboot.
Milano, who just released a new book,"Sorry Not Sorry," has made a name for herself in recent years as an activist, evenlast week in a protest for voting rights. She says she learned to differentiate the need for activism with being liked as a performer after she kissed Ryan White on “Donahue” after White contracted HIV as a teenager in the 1980s. White died in 1990 at the age of 18.
“Ever since the moment when I kissed Ryan White on ‘The Phil Donahue Show’ to prove that you couldn’t get HIV/AIDS from casual contact, ever since that monumental moment in my life that changed my life, I’ve never separated my opinions from perception of being disliked,” she said.Disney via Getty Images
“And I think, people always say, ‘You were so brave’ and I don’t think it has anything to do with bravery. It’s just, to me, there is no reason to be a celebrity, to have a platform, unless I’m going to do everything I possibly can to use that in a responsible way, to bring people together, to make sure people have everything they need to live happy, productive lives.”
Milano has mulled over the idea of taking her activism in another direction, saying earlier this year she might run for Congress in 2024. Is she still entertaining the idea?“My fear of running is I’m afraid I won’t be as effective as I am as an activist. So many people in Congress, I think on both sides of the aisle, are dealing with a certain amount of frustration right now,” she said, citing progressive lawmakers she knows who are worried that initiatives they fought for will be repealed.
