The legendary Jim Ross has had a public battle with the condition, which can cause facial paralysis. Niven seems to be having a great attitude, however, and posted this photo of her doing “the People’s Eyebrow.”

On the plus side, I can now do a pretty smashing people’s eyebrow for the first time in my life so there’s that.

She even said she’s got a full heel turn planned out:

“I’ve already got a full heel turn planned out, cool eye patches, a cape and maybe even some kind of Mr Bigglesworth cat!” She Tweeted

Niven even wrote out a list of the pros from having the condition:

“The Pros of Bell’s Palsy number 1:Am I making a weird face at you? Is my palsy just acting up? Good luck finding out,” she also Tweeted.
