"I'm not going to lie, it's getting harder and harder. Every day it is more difficult. This is how ". Michael J. Fox returned, during an interview for CBS, to Parkinson's disease, which has been following him for more than 30 years now. If he hid his disease from the general public for a long time, before officially revealing it in 1998, he wants to shed light on this incurable disease. To do this, the actor, who retired in 2020, is releasing on Friday, May 12 Still: A Michael J. Fox Film, a documentary about his fight, which will be viewable on Apple.
He was only 29 years old when doctors diagnosed him with the disease, which he perceived as a "gift" that he "kept taking". He knows it and he says it. "I'll never be 80." “Falling, sucking food, and getting pneumonia are some of the ways [Parkinson can kill you]. You will not die of Parkinson's, you will die with Parkinson's, "said the man who will celebrate his 62nd birthday in a month.
Whoever rose to prominence in Sacred Family and exploded as Marty McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy appeared even a little more weakened. During the interview of more than eight minutes, Michael J. Fox appears resigned. His daily life is now jerky with the involuntary tremors of his body limbs, caused by progressive damage to certain parts of the brain.
Committed, Michael J. Fox has already raised, via his foundation, more than 1.75 billion dollars for research against Parkinson's. He had also received, last November, an Oscar of honor for his commitment.
