During a joint appearance on The Graham Norton Show on Friday, Miranda took a moment to thank Selena for being so candid about her health journey in 2022's My Mind & Me.

"When I saw your documentary on Apple [about] your illness struggles, I was thinking, 'Do I share?' You know, 'Is this something I should do?' Because it feels quite vulnerable," the 51-year-old comedian shared.

"I watched the documentary, and I just thought, 'Absolutely yes.' And that's what kept me writing."

"To witness somebody in the pain that I was in for different conditions," Miranda added. "But we know what a chronic condition is like, and it's always rumbling there, and I know what it's like in a very different way."

In more recent comments on My Mind & Me, Selena has admitted the documentary is quite painful for her to watch.

"I will never watch it again, but I'm very proud of it. I couldn't have been luckier to have the people that worked on it with me," she said in September 2023.
