God blessed him with Parkinson's....

​@@justayoutuber1906That's uncalled for and cold!🤬🤬🤬

@@Mrd9960 the comment can be taken as you’re seeing it? But I too have Parkinson’s…and it’s blessed me…it has. It humbled me. Brought me to the Lord. So I wouldn’t mind that comment, if someone said it to me…and Fox isn’t resentful of it…I’ve met him…several times.

He has handled it like every other Parkinson's disease patient, no better or worse

And so have many others

We all have some sort of illness

Very true is day your healthy is a blessing

Yes,yes and yes!!!!!! My health is my wealth.

Amen!

There are a lot of people who suffer from other birth defects and diseases also

Not everybody. I can't stand him!

I lost respect for him when he jumped on the stem cell research train.

90s too with spin city

​@@SusanCox-pl9qp😂😂😂😂

I can't stand him. That Calvin Klein hits on MY girlfriend!!!

❤

U mean look down to him? Lol short joke..... got to keep laughter going. 😃 😅 whiiiiippppeeeeeeeee

Sorry that you're trapped in that SH...

An incredible man ,who is a role model for courage, positivity,and has done so much to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson’s ❤

@@michael-4k4000He would love your comment❣️

👆🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

🙏

OMG! This only shows us humans how vulnerable we can be regardless everything we are able to do! Many prayers to all those individuals and families dealing with degenerative diseases on a daily basis! GOD bless you all and guide you when hope is low! 🙏

Thank you for sharing your experiences ❤

🙏🏾

That will stay with me. I saved this video to watch again.

​ @Vinicius Rodrigues < What a horrible creature you are to keep pasting such hatred.

@Vinicius Rodrigues What's stopping you? You won't be missed and no one will attend your funeral, 'Vicious' indeed.

Health is the most precious thing you can ask for.

@Vinicius Rodrigues Mind your words. You don't know who might be reading your comment and what effect it might have on them.

Yes Sir, so am I! 🤗

I agree 100%!

He could be faking it for publicity. He is an actor after all.

What’s crazy is that there’s trolls out there saying he’s faking it

@@ramencurry6672 Well he could be faking it for publicity, he is an Actor afterall what do you think? These Hollywood types will do anything for money. I mean look at Bruce Willis for Gods sake...

Amen.

What an amazing thought. Thank you for sharing.

So true

Amen

Kinda makes you think don't it

🙏

Es una de mis estrellas favoritas por qué es un gran ser humano alegre y divertido, pero hoy todo un heroe por su condición de salud y por su fundación. Dios le conceda a este personaje mucha salud y Vida, gracias Michel j. Fox por tu legado en el cine y por darnos ejemplo de lucha en la vida real, siempre con optimismo.

Mine too. And to my dad, who died from complications due to Parkinson's in 2014. Ten years ago last month. He's still with me, though.

@@DravenGal So sorry for your loss. May God be with you always.🙏

@@thetruthbetold961 Thank you! He's always with me too!

@@DravenGal 😊

Well, you know he has millions to accomplish that. Imagine what happens to a person having a job like you and me.

We would be dead by now, like he said most dont live as long as he has

Fairly young? He was only 29. I’d say that is very young.

​@@stell4you well his millions isn't helping now

​@@SUGAR_XYLER In what sense is his millions not helping him now? From what I understand, he's lived longer than most Parkinsons patients do, and I don't think it's a coincidence that he has millions of dollars to spend on treatment, and that he's outlived most Parkinsons patients.

God Bless you as you go forward. I pray for a cure for Parkinson’s, MS which my husband has, Cystic Fibrosis, (my sweet cousin lost her battle at age 30) and Guillian Barr disease and of course, diabetes just to name a few. I’ve had breast cancer and I survived but am looking over my shoulder of course. Many prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I am in my early 40s and I too have been diagnosed with early onset of Parkinson's. Stay strong.

You'll be alright,as long as you stay fit and take care of your body and brain

​@@Leo23XR cures don't make money over time, treatment does

@Sovereign Freedom My mom has early onset PD. I think selligeline and rasageline also show promise. They are "lighter" drugs than L-Dopa or dopamine agonists, they actually don't increase dopamine but inhibit MAOI so that the dopamine you have lasts longer before being broken down. Becuase it doesn't actually supply dopamine, it is less likely to downregulate your dopamine or cause you to develop tolerance. I wished my mom had tried it when she was early on, maybe it can help you given that you don't take l-dopa.

True. It is horrible for anybody facing a debilitating illness on a daily basis.

He's a good role model.

Definitely and so we’ll said . This disease is horrible. He has to be exhausted physically, mentally and emotionally everyday . I give him so much love and respect. We love you Michael, it’s been an honor growing up with you . So amazing what his foundation is doing for this terrible disease . ❤❤

And so are others who are suffering

Heartwarming to see he can joke about it to a random stranger. I hope he can stay this positive forever!

Yes, seeing this was a bit shocking, as I hadn't seen him in an interview in a long time and was just curious where he's at - but I also wasn't aware he was 76. That's actually (and somewhat sadly) now the average life expectancy in America, after COVID dropped it (but it was already starting to a bit beforehand). My grandma was diagnosed in her 70s and only made it to like 79, and really, the fact he's been symptomatic since he was like 30-something and still made it to the current average is really impressive. I hate to say though that it looks like he's nearing the end here.

@@JET7C0 He's not 76, he's 62!

Yesssss❤

He's no Kirk Cameron that's for sure....

😢😢😢

He is so brave and strong. Prayers for him for continued strength.

My mother had Parkinson’s Death becomes a gift.

The life expectancy for an American male is 77. It's a reality we all have to face not just him.

My dad had Parkinson's. He made it to 79 and a half.

I'm afraid I must agree with Michael. I don't think he will reach 80, but he'll have put up a good fight along the way.

He’s a great instructor!

Mines too . He was a genius. Computer engineer

Dont lie to yourself. He looks terrible and miserable. Can;t even make out a word he said.

@@bryanleeyf87 And yet he can still joke about it and show everybody the reality of the disease in his life. I do not know others who have done that. Not to mention the fact how he has put the face to the disease and secured a lot of funding for the research. He is doing everything he can to fight it.

​@@randomaccessfemale, right?! He's not wallowing in self pity, he's living life to the best of his capabilities, no matter how limited they have become. Like he said, "You don't die from Parkinson's, you die with Parkinson's."

There are many who are sick and suffering not just this actor

Amen, brother. Amen.

But the guy connects with Michael let him he’s just appreciating him

@@PopCultureAnticSS reread his comment

@@marcK599. his foundation has raised more than 1.5 billion dollars for Parkinson’s research. He’s used his celebrity status to help countless people and will continue to raise millions long after he’s gone. Is he an inspiration? To me he is.

True that!

True. Another such actor was Christopher Reeve. Two inspiring people that have educated people and given hope to many.

He's not even a human being anymore.

@@livmarlin4259Stop trolling and find something constructive to do with your time.

​@@livmarlin4259 are you ?

@David McCoul, You are so right. I agree w/you in everything you said. It has actually been a long time since I' ve seen him do an interview, several yrs. It' s hard to see his disease progressing.

Did you watch the video?

Had me in tears that last bit 😢

@@louco1965 And many do.. and many die without any recognition or happiness

​@@altide8784 True, but isn't it fantastic that someone like him, a famous actor, can show such courage in the face of such a debilitating illness! God bless him❤🙏🏼👍🏻

​@Vinicius Rodrigues he IS suffering and all his money can't stop it

Hi 🎉

He also has a very robust support system, and money. That makes a HUGE difference in how well you handle things. He would say something completely different if he was alone and poor. The people I respect are the ones who voluntarily notice and also help the ones who aren't as fortunate at Michael.

@@boycott2720 you’re right

He's not even a human being anymore.

@@livmarlin4259 u

Must be for girls. For us guys he was a hero we looked up to.

I loved him then and I love him now. I'm so glad he has such a wonderful wife and children.

Oh so adorable. I remember being so smitten with him in secret of my success.

He's not young anymore.

May each day give you bright spots

I am, too. It's so difficult. I'd love to have his courage and spirit. Most of us suffer in silence and alone. God bless you. I will pray for you❤🙏🏼

Stay strong. Hopefully there will be medical breakthroughs for many of with these terrible diseases, and in the meantime some better treatments for those of us who suffer more than most will know. I've been living with very severe chronic pain for 25 years, as a result from a work injury that broke the L5/S1 disc in my spine, and even before that I've lived with pains from as far back as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Since around 2000 I've had some strange events, like losing the ability to lift my leg more than a few inches, and not being able to move an arm, which was attributed incorrectly to my back problems. Then, this past 2020, as most of the world was dealing with covid, I had some type of "event" where I went from not being to move my leg, to then being able to move it, and some of the worst nerve pain in my lower back and down both legs. I also experienced permanently blurry vision in my right eye, chronic depression/anxiety, and severe brain fog. Now I am being told I more than likely have multiple sclerosis (still waiting on a VEP test and likely another spinal tap). When I read the symptoms I know "this is it". I'm really scared of my future, and I'm just trying to take things a day at a time. I am trying to make the most of what I am able to do. I am scared but I'm trying to remain resilient.

@@videogameobsession May every day give you an improvement. What you are going through is difficult; don't be afraid to allow yourself a 5-10 minute pity party each day. Ask others for hugs. Know that people care

@@Anne--MarieThank you. I appreciate that.

I'm truly sorry for your loss from all my heart. I pray your mom went home to the Lord and there she is whole, perfect and at peace. My dad has parkinsons. It's an awful n heartbreaking disease. God bless.❤❤❤

He is an amazing actor, He's still alive

He still is an amazing man!

I admit I cried. But it's a happy kind of crying.

Forreal

He's not even a human being anymore.

He's a very special person. I cried because it was sad, but I also cried because of the remarkable attitude and bravery. He still has gratitude for the life he has been given. You don't often see that level of grace. It's hard seeing his steady decline. But I'm glad he's still putting himself out there.

Yes I love hearing from him and yes we can see the toll this disease is taking on him, but he is here, he’s loved and he’s aware. 🙌🏽🥰

He's not even a human being anymore.

@@livmarlin4259What a disgusting comment which tells the world a lot about you.

@@livmarlin4259 Oh look. The chick from Smile is spreading sunshine and joy wherever she goes.

My sister in law found out at 38, and is now 50, possibly about to have life changing brain surgery. There’s hope! ❤

My mom was diagnosed 5 years ago, she’s doing well so far but I’m scared for her.

Good luck Heather. God bless you

What r the official signs that you demonstrated if u don't mind me asking? I wish u the best. My mother passed from the disease rapidly at 69 yrs old in 2021. The only signs she exhibited was extreme fatigue from muscle loss, memory problems, and habitual stubbornness, before the disease left her bed-ridden. I'm two different races, so I'm not sure how it will impact me. The things i notice in me are: i rarely rarely dream, i am a extremely heavy sleeper, slight brain fogginess, and longer recovery times and sometimes pain from sports training. I try and eat a lot of of mild-to-hot salsas/peppers, garlic, and onion 🧅 as often as possible to combat my potential future problem. These are items i notice my father follows in his eating regimen, where as my mother never followed. And she never drank any alcohol, which i also think is not good. Bc adequate amounts of alcohol i believe can have benefits. For me alcohol is a mood elevator. Well I hope u try my remedies, hope it helps. And hope to hear more about your diagnosis 🤝🏼

@@raysofgreys that’s awesome to hear. I will keep her in my prayers.

Hi

I'm so sorry that you are suffering with this horrible disease!! My heart goes out to you and I will pray for you! My brother was diagnosed with Parkinson's at age 40. He's now 60. He has suffered for 20+ years with this evil disease along with neuropathy. He is a fighter but each day is getting harder and it breaks my heart that he or anyone has to suffer with Parkinson's! I just don't understand why after all these years with all the research and all the money raised for research with the Michael J Fox Parkinson's foundation that there's still not a cure!! It infuriates me that the legislation you were talking about went nowhere and that more people don't care about finding a cure!!

Thank you for this comment. We put billions, even trillions, into crap that doesn't matter; this matters. We need to do more. Good juju headed your way. May you live to see a wonderful effective treatment that makes it possible for you to live another fifty years of health and well being and joy.

May a cure be found soon so that you can live to be at least 80!

I hope for a cure or at least better treatment. You are so young. With all of the money Mr. Fox has raised there may be a breakthrough right around the corner for you and everyone else struggling with the challenge of this disease. I wish our schools took science more seriously so that we could have more future scientists. Plenty things to work.on.

🙏❤

Agree. I'm proud to be an 80s kid watching him! ❤

Linda Ronstandt said that, too. He's further along, she got it later in life.

It's not a prophetic statement, it's a very important distinction and the one part of Parkinson's people are most confused about. I'm glad he made that clear.

Same as Alzheimer's.

It’s not prophetic, it’s the reality of of the disease.

@@Gemmarose9012 yes it is simply truth.

He's dead.

@@livmarlin4259 we all are. Pass me the happy smoke

​@@livmarlin4259 Everyone n u n i will pass on. Ademas habla seria jovencita

It helps that he's rich,

@@brando7266 he is still a person, he has worked so hard to get where he is in his career. He has always wanted to be a actor. So by saying that he's rich. Doesn't mean he deserve this terrie disease. It's not hs fault that in America that you need health insurance.

We can still look up to him!

Still remarkable and still worthy of looking up to.

I look up to him even more now ❤

He doesn't want you to feel bad for him. He doesn't feel bad for himself.

🙏 ❤

A few generations love him. My father has shown me Back To The Future back in the 90s. I still think (even though I'm a big Star Wars nerd) that that movie is the perfect trilogy. I'm always on the edge of my seat when I watch it. Michael is a big part of that. His energy, his dynamics. It's very sad to see how Parkinson's disease is affecting him, but at the same time it's so inspiring to see that he pushes through, still going strong. It will be a sad day when he will pass away.

This is touching and inspiring. I am 55 years old and right in his generation of Family Ties, etc. and this breaks my heart and also makes me look into my own heart and repair the things I take for granted and be more thankful and humble. Thank you to God and I pray Michael is saved but it sure seems like he is with his optimism!

@Selena Aleksick I discovered him in my teens, in the mid 90s, saw family ties as a little child but really fell in love with him after watching back to the future in 1994. And still love him as much, if not more since that time. The next best movie I discovered after that was 2001: A Space Odyssey in 2002 or 2001. For a considerable time that one remained my favorite movie superseding BTTF. But BTTF again regained its spot after a couple of years. Since mid 1990s, I've watched thousands of Hollywood moives and had about 5000 DVDs at one time. Now I don't watch that many. Too much time wasted. But MJF and BTTF will always remain in my heart and also Family ties. I guess many of my brain cells and part of my DNA have his name in them now. MJF might be part of my genetic makeup now. Not sure if such traits are passed down the generations when you love something so much. I really feel for him and pray for him. His life his choice. We must respect his choices. Only he can tell what kind of pain or misery he is in. I am sure people must tell him he is so loved and so revered. Perhaps that is giving him the strength to continue this fight.

How could you not

Well, he did touch everyone's life, in some way. For most it was probably the Back to the Future films we saw as kids and still enjoy today. The world makes time for those who benefited others and wore their heart on their sleeve. Paying it forward, and all that.

His humor is incredible.

That family and support are the reason he has been able to do so much. Without that, he would be in much worse shape, and there would be no foundation. That is the real problem in the US. If you don't have support (and so many don't) you are just out of luck and left to rot.

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Judges 19: 25-28

Not really

I can’t believe there is nothing out there to help him….even just cut his symptoms in half 😢

Huge money donated & no rsolution other than charity owners live like kings

​ @Vinicius Rodrigues < What a horrible creature you are to keep pasting such hatred.

@Vinicius Rodrigues troll! Are you going to repeat this vile statement on all the comments? Do us all a favor and give into your wish.

great? whats great? the expoitation? another woke kid steph

@@AlreadyShortit’s not exploitation, it’s awareness. Michael J. Fox wants to put himself out there so people are aware of what Parkinson’s Disease is and how it affects real life human beings.

@@AlreadyShort what are yo talking about???? He is still a person no matter what..

My grandfather had Parkinsons too. He could not talk to us, stuttered. But he was intelligent. Kept his mind sharp with game shows like Jeopardy. Never complained, at least around us grandkids. Always a smile. Pneumonia finally took him. Love you Tata.

😭😭😭

My dad had Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and dementia. He didn’t speak in the end or know who anyone was, but he was always smiling.

My dad had it too. I had to hand feed him near the end.

My Grandad had Parkinson's too. Apart from having a daily snooze after lunch the rest of the day he kept very active, always out in his shed scheming some sort of invention or fixing things. He had this 'I'm not going to let this beat me' attitude and hardly ever showed frustration with it. Like yourself, I was so so proud of my Grandad and was honoured to be his Granddaughter.

You're so lucky! He's such a nice guy!

One has to learn gratitude. I've had to after a car accident that left me a paraplegic. FAITH in God has also helped me along this journey.

I was born 94 and he is a legend. Back to the Future is a all-time classic

Mabey no but I can see in his eyes he's a stone cold fighter

​@@melinagoransonI grew up with back to the future but born in 1991

I fail to see what he did for a generation tbh, so sad to see none with this illness.

U r right, I wouldn't do it,

thank you so much dear fan

God gave it to him, don't try to change God's mind

My godmother did, too. She had it for at least 20 years. She was also an inspiration because she had such a love for Jesus through it all. Now my daughter-in-laws father has it. God bless the suffering🙏🏻

Sending love right back did you attend any red carpet ?

Research is a scam. Vaccines are likely the culprit.

I too pray to God that there's a cure sooner than later!! My brother has had Parkinson's for 20+ years now and it breaks my heart!!

Note that he shot that interview a few months ago, look at his recent photos from a few days ago, he truly does look better.

He's not even a human being anymore.

I’m glad he is helping people to understand the disease.
