As a practicing neurologist here in the United States, I want you all to understand that this man has single-handedly changed the trajectory when it comes to curing Parkinson’s. He has funded more studies than any other person including the government. I am specialized in spinocerebellar ataxia, and one of my most recent papers I had to mention that we need a Michael J Fox in order to make a breakthrough. We still use the biomarkers discovered in studies funded by his organization as a blueprint to help understand other neurological diseases. hopefully we will be able to find a cure or some sort of relief for patients with spinocerebellar ataxia. He is a hero and unsung in many ways because he deserves much more than simple human praise.
This. I’m hoping people understand this instead of resting on pity.
Thank you
Its really sad that it takes a celebrity to do that. But I still admire him for doing so.
Wow. Thank you for sharing. I’m not surprised at all and have so much respect for this man most of us grew up watching. He is such an inspiration and fighter.
How come he constantly moves the way he moves? Is it continuous spasms like Parkinson's causes continuous spasms? I'm asking seriously to educate myself not in a condescending manner. So even if you can afford the best drugs that are possible for the disease it still makes your body do that?
It takes a brave and vulnerable Man with integrity to be up there on full display.
Agreed, he is a Man in full, it is his disease that should feel shame and fear
Very true
Yeah I was worried for him with those high chairs. Always loved him since Family Ties and the cute relationship with Andy , I think I will actually check his movie out.
Great Actor was part of my teenage years only 4 years older than me unfortunately it seems like he is getting worse
I dunno!!! I’m crying
He was so young when he was struck with this horrific disease. However, he continued to work as an actor and as a humanitarian with his foundation. He's just a class act all around.
👍🏼
I'm a 41 yr old man in tears watching this. He is truly a gift to humanity. Bless his entire ❤!!!!
I am 40 as well and brought the "Back to the Future" franchise for my children. They watched it like I did when it came out. Asking questions about him and me explaining Parkinson's because they didn't understand. We grew up with Janet Reno, under Clinton Administration with Parkinson's, and I thank him so much for bringing understanding to this disease and help with fundraising. Also, entertainment for decades. God Bless him and his Family.

I'm a 23 year old boy yes I still call myself a boy but I didn't shead a tear but I did get a little emotional watching this segment
He’s was big in the 80s. Back then there was no internet, no social media so celebrities were more mysterious and in some ways more fascinating
Micheal J. Foxx is a national treasure. Thank you for bringing attention to Parkinsons disease.
Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
Oh shut up.
But he's Canadian lol
@@canadaglennrz he's honorary.
@@ilovegoodsax he's honorary. Lol
He is indeed a national treasure. Truly a gift of a human being.
He should really be named a national treasure. The world is a better place because of him
@@heatherjunker967 🙏✊🏻
An American Treasure!
@michael a world treasure for all of humanity! ❤
@@michael-4k4000 Isn't he Canadian?
I cannot help but get emotional because he has such a beautiful spirit. People like him are what we need more in this world. ♥️♥️♥️
I get emotional every time I watch a clip of him telling his story, heavily affected by Parkinson's.
He’s super essential to our society!
I always forget how young he was when he was first diagnosed. You can tell his symptoms have gotten worse in the last few years. What a brave man to be in such a vulnerable position.
He is on his own mission, can't help but admire the man.
His symptoms have gotten worse, but it's crystal clear that despite his physical ailments, he still has that classic comedic charm! He really still has "it". But it's almost like his body simply can't keep up, or is just on a different wavelength as his mind.
Seems like some days is better than others this interview seems worse probably triggered by these toxic hosts deep down
I think it’s more the side effects of his medications that you’re seeing… his symptoms are probably much much worse.
Michael J. Fox is hero with a great sense of humor and he is a national treasure. He’s also brave to talk about Parkinson’s so openly and a great advocate. I ❤️him.
*national Canadian treasure
@@b.k8051 born there but doesn’t live there
@B.K Bet u wouldn't be so quick in claiming him if he were a criminal😁 who cares where he's from..he's a hero period..love him❤
@@CarlosSanchez-ld5dt *Canadian hero

The hardest worker for Parkinson’s he has raised so much money for this organization. I hope 🤞🏼 they find a cure or at least a medication that helps with symptoms. I grew up with him, and he will always be remembered for that smile 😃 and that beautiful soul he has ❤❤ May God bless him with continued strength!
Yes he’s a fantastic fundraising for treatment and research. Unfortunately, most neurological diseases do not have a cure, only better treatment methods as time moves on.
Just in tears watching this segment…. What a doll, just want to reach out and hug him he is so precious and wonderful. So thankful God created him to give us all such joy and laughter and love, and encouragement in our own struggles!! BRAVO MJF!!!!
I love him so much. 💗
An outstanding human being considering what he has to endure hourly,daily,weekly, yearly for the rest of his human life.
His handling of this disease demonstrates to us all that he can adapt to any thing that is thrown at him just like he did in his acting career. A brave and courageous man just like his wife.What a couple and what an example for the Hollywood type.
For better or worse till death do us part .
I SALUTE YOU BOTH!
Im bawling. I look up to him immensely. He’s correct, if you don’t find a positive in a negative situation, it becomes a drag. Otherwise, it becomes an phenomenal opportunity for change and something important to do with your life. In 1999, at 17 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease only ever seen in elderly people. I was one of the first children ever diagnosed. While I have it always done a wonderful job of mimicking, Michael J Fox’s attitude. I truly try to find the joy and every day. This man is a treasure and the research he has done for Parkinson’s, but the greater medical community could never have been done without him, I will always be indebted to him for his attitude, art and the scientific changes he has brought to our world.
Ellie,
Sending you a Hug and some Sunshine from Australia 💝
Keeping you in prayer.
@Ellietalk81 thank you for sharing! Do you know if the Carnivore Diet helps and have you ever tried it?
الله يشفيكي ويشفي كل مريض 😔
i have constant ringing in my ears with pulsating sounds too
it really gets me down and there seems no point in anything often..
i feel i have to pretend All The Time
you've given me something to think about..
thanks from south wales, uk...
I wanted to cry when they were applauding him just because he reminds me of my childhood. And he’s a beautiful person.
I’m in tears… I look at him and see all the time that has passed…I remember watching family ties like yesterday…God bless us all! Time can bring so much pain ❤❤❤❤
Man, what's crazy about his situation is that when you look at him, and you listen to him & see his mannerisms: HE STILL HAS IT! And by that, I mean he still has that classic comedic wit & charm that he's always had. The unfortunate thing though is that his body just can't keep up with his wit. You see the full-blown entertainer there almost trapped. That being said, it's been great to see him come out and tell his story, and tell it on his own terms. It's always easy to feel sorry for the guy, knowing he has this disease... but watching speak and see how charismatic he still is, it's actually a marvel!
I completely agree with everything you said.
He is just as cute now as he was then. Parkinsons is so insidious but he has brought so much awareness to it.
He's was part of my childhood. He will forever be in my heart. ❤❤❤❤
🔥❤👍🏼
Back To The Future is the best time travel movie of all time. I love the way Whoopi got so emotional at the end, seemed about to cry. I don’t think Sara ever mentioned her mom has Parkinson’s before -my heart goes out to her.
BTTF is my all time favorite movie. I was 8 when it came out and at 45 I will still stop what I'm doing to watch it when flipping through the channels. Just great. Love MJF
Sara had mentioned of her mum"s diagnosis few times.
He's my fellow Canadian and if anyone deserves a prestigious medal of honour it is him!! Bravo Michael!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My mother also had Parkinson’s.
A million times thank you Michael J Fox, for putting yourself out there to show others not to be afraid, and for all the amazing research that has happened because of you.👏🏼💕
Watching this just breaks my heart because I’m watching my own father suffer through this BX+ćH of disease…. My father is in the end stage of Parkinson’s and dementia has taken a strong hold of his mind…
I’m so sorry to hear that
💔😢🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can't imagine the struggle and pain. God bless you and your father, from the UK ❤
🙏🙏🙏❤️
I'm so sorry. Praying for you, your family and your dad.
I have epilepsy and so does my twin sister, I've had it for 28 years and she's had it for 29 years. And Michael J. Fox has not only helped people with Parkinson's disease but he has helped people with all neurological diseases. And his book lucky man changed my life so thank you Michael. 🙂👍👊🤝
Ditto!
I have epilepsy to !!
Whoopi really cares deeply about her friends and you can tell she was fighting back tears. She'd lost quite a few close friends throughout the years and hopefully Michael will be here for many years to come, yet. ❤
Whoopi and Michael are true friends. I wish that Sunny was left out of this segment. She is fake in many ways. In this segment, is an example of it. Her fake expression was too much. She needs to stop acting like the world should revolve around her. Maybe she doesn't mean it all the time, but I can only go by what she puts out there.
Yes I noticed that also. You’re right she’s lost a great many good friends that we knew on screen. Very hard to see another good friend struggling with such a horrid illnesses. MJF is definitely a hero in my book.
I was thinking about her holding back as well. But I feel her, I am near tears myself watching and yet I am so happy he is there telling his story!
@@denisewheeler3373 👍🏼🙏🇺🇲
she lost quite a few viewers also
Love Whoopi she’s always kind and sweet to her friends
Snd she remembers
Man I gotta say, I had tears in my eyes watching this entire segment. I love him like he’s the best. He’ll always be Alex P. Keaton and Marty Mcfly. He’s an incredible inspiration and it breaks my heart to see him like this now but god bless.
He's Our Canadian Treasure! 🍁🍁🍁
Not just a Canadian treasure, but the world.
Of course, but we claim him. Have you read about his relationship with his dad. He was a huge man and Michael lost him quite early. They were very close.@@MondySpartan
@@Deborah4Antiques I see.
That is real women/wife. Being with him through this Parkinson disease shows real love
👍🏼🔥
Canada is so very proud of him. Keep it going MJF! ❤🇨🇦
The realization of the devastating progression of this disease brings on many sad emotions. Future generations owe a debt of gratitude to this man for pushing science to do more research. Thank you!
God bless Michael! God bless Whoop. I can tell it was hard for her to keep it emotionally together. 🙏🏿
@JAL, Whoopi nearly lost it, the tears was in her eyes. Good bless you Michael and Whoopi, Michael God has the last word. God please make Michael better.
My mother was in early Parkinsons before she passed, what a brave man Michael j fox is ❤
Michael J. Fox a a wonderful national treasure! He is a Legend and talking about his Parkinson's Disease and his foundation to stop this disease is a pure inspiration.
He's Canadian lol
Michael J Fox has showed the world how one person with a platform could change the way studies are done for Parkinson’s disease bravo Michael J Fox you are a good man for this the world loves you for all your hard work and dedication to this research ❤
Salute to Michael J. Foxx, if you grew up in the late 80s/90s we grew up on a lot of his movie. Great dude and what a great wife for sticking by him through the good and bad. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He is an inspiration to so many, i grew up on his movies.. those were the best days!
I watched his documentary (STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie) this past Sunday (May 14, 2023). Wow, a million times. You, sir, are a hero.
I wish nobody had to live with any disease period, but he helped put the spotlight on Parkinsons through his influence, and the great way he handled it is amazing. We love you, Michael J Fox, and you will always have a special place in Burnaby British Columbia ❤️
God bless him💜💜💜
So proud of our Canadian man. Great man. Great role model, great actor…
It looks excruciating to deal with, but he's absolutely gracious and humbling to listen to. I don't think there's a person on the planet that deserves the respect he gets!
The hope that this BEAUTIFUL person has given so many people is beyond a medal or any award. We love YOU Michael J Fox.
This man was such a big part of my childhood. Thank you MJF for sharing your talents with the world!
What an amazing human being. Thanks Michael J. Fox.
I love how they are listening, engaging and enjoying his stories. It says a lot, and means a lot to him, those who suffer, and everyone watching to see them as a person, and not just the symptoms of your disability. These women are a class act, and MJF is an icon in so many ways. Great segment, got me in my feels ❤🥹
Michael j. Fox. Thank you for being an amazing actor and incredible human being. God bless you
Mad respect for him and all he’s done for the medical community
When I was younger I had a crush on Michael j Fox. That has now turned into admiration. His strength and faith in dealing with his medical issues has inspired me throughout my medical issues.
this brought tears to my eyes.......... he's the sweetest human ever
I applaud him, for being so brave! He is experiencing this in front of the world to bring attention to it. He could’ve hidden himself away in privacy, and just disappeared. But he is so incredibly brave to show the true effects and vulnerability caused by this disease! Working so hard & still make light of it as much as he can. He will always be known for his movies but will forever be loved for bringing about the attention & cure for this disease anyone of us may experience personally! Love you Michael J Fox!! 😊💕
Just because YOU don’t have a disease doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. If Fox had never gotten Parkinson’s he never would have thought about it twice. His actions are motivated by self concern.
@@russellgrimes3491😮. Aren't you a sad person.
This is probably the best View ever. I’ve had a mad crush on him since junior high. What a wonderful man and Whoopi had me tearing up. He is loved and respected and so successful. I love him 💕
What a guy. If Michael’s career wasn’t enough, what he’s doing now, despite all his trials and tribulations is nothing short of amazing. I don’t show emotion all that much, I had a few tears with this one.
_Back to The Future_ will always be an American classic.
Michael J. Fox is my favorite actor, period. Like many, I was a young child when he was in Family Ties, Back to the Future, Teen Wolf, Secret of my Success, Light of Day, and Bright Lights, Big Cities just to name a few. This man will always be a role model to me. I choked up/teared up during his latest Documentary and this interview.
He is simply AMAZING! Class, humanity, kindness and love all wrapped in a spectacular human being.
This brought me to tears. I have so much respect for Michael as an actor, and even more so as a human being. He is truly amazing.
Meeting Michael was one of the highlights of my life and I’d dreamt of that moment for 30 years and never thought it would happen. Such a great guy.
He is an amazing human being. He's been through so much, to come through it with so much insight and humility gives such hope and inspiration to so many of us out here. My husband has been newly diagnosed. Listening to Michael and reading his books have helped us so much. The work that his foundation has done is nothing short of brilliant in working tirelessly to find the cure!
He is amazing, and I loathe most things celebrity. Sorry about your husband, I wish you both the very best.
@@deannelson1388 thank you so much!
I'm glad that this has given you and your husband hope.
Loved him so much in the Good Wife, his illness was incorporated in a very unique way
What more can be said? Thank you Michael J. Fox for all that you do.
Very difficult to watch him deteriorate. God bless him
This is very painful to watch. My friend has this condition and watching this is giving me a better understanding of this condition. Thank you for being so brave to show what this condition does to you.
The Secret of My Success, one of my most fave movies ever!
Every time I see someone twirl open a lipstick, I hear, "Ohhhh yeahhhhh" because of that movie! I worked in the movie theater when it came out and my break was always during that part... saw it more times than I can count.
Micheal J Fox is one of those people that can steal hearts all around the globe. He took something pretty awful and made it into his drive to make a difference. He has all my respect. Thank you, Michael J Fox, for all you've done.
This is so painful to watch. Michael J Foxx is sharing all of his challenges with great dignity and grace.
He is still such a dreamboat. Forever in my heart 💘
I recommend everyone to go see this, it is beautifully shot, very informative and the storytelling is fantastic the way he tells his story, I loved it, is very heartfelt.
He’s a legend.
The smile Michael cracked at 5:31 while he was reminiscing about the Oscars with Whoopi was amazing! Truly a beautiful soul and still has his humor even with such a debilitating disease.
It breaks my heart to see him like this 💔 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼
Michael J. Fox is a gem ❤ what a beautiful human ❤
Whoopi’s words at the end about him made me tear up!!
Grew up watching MJF from Family Ties to his awesome film career and I felt terrible when he announced his diagnosis years ago, but his resilience and perseverance is uplifting to see. He's one of the people who has shown me that we don't have to stop because of illness and that we can continue to enjoy life. I watched Still and it's an incredible story. Many more wonderful years to him 💕
It's so uplifting when someone uses the power of their celebrity to make such a positive change in the world!
He’s a class act, his humor intact and he has always been that way even before this disease took over! He has done everything he can and continues to bring this disease to the forefront to help find a cure and help others! He’s a national treasure and when he is gone will be truly missed by millions who grew up with him though the years. Grateful 😇 he is still with us spreading his optimism, love, humor and helping to inspire so many, we love ❤️ you Micheal J Fox❤
He’s still him and it makes me happy, the personality is still there!
What a gutsy fellow to show up. We appreciate and admire you Michael! We all know more about Parkinson’s disease because of you.
Age looks good on him; can't believe he'll be 62 next month.
He’s a amazing person. A true fighter.
The man doesn't give up. Absolute Legend
Whoopi's last words had me in tears!!😪😪
can't wait to see this wonderful documentary; hats off to Michael and bringing this up to the world. God bless always.
It's brought tears to my eyes seeing Michael suffer from this disease
Im so very grateful that we have such a dedicated and genuine advocate. Perhaps, someday, future patients will be able to avoid the progression of Parkinsons Disease, thanks to the committment of this remarkable man. Im so grateful that he has such a devoted wife and family. May God bless his big heart.
It was so sad to watch this. MJF is such a wonderful human being and he has done so much to help figure out about Parkinsons. He is so brave that he inspires me all the time. I send him and his family tons of love.
I was so touched to see those Americans give our Albertan & Canadian son a standing ovation 😢
All humans at the end of the day. He has been very impact to many people, globally.
A wonderful Canadian that became America’s Sweetheart ❤
What a brave soul god bless him
The man has guts,hands down!
This man is an amazing human. Hilarious, tough, a blessing to the world.
I love this man so much! I got my kids to watch Back to the Future to understand all I've told them about this amazing man. ❤
I really am feeling so bad. Recently I discovered Back to the future triology and watched in 2 days. I never knew Michel before but I loved him, his acting his calm and transparent expressions won me. And just watching this video after some other video where I found that he has Parkinson's desease. I can't describe my emotions. He is such a generous person. How cool he looked in the movies and now this!? Love you Michel ❤
I want to hug him.
It’s nice to see his presence & hear from him. ❤️
What an absolute gem of a human! Back to the future helped so much in my youth. So much love for you MJF!
Salute to Michael J Fox, one of the kindest people I ever worked with back in the day as a child actor on the set of “Life with Mikey.”
On another note, Sunny should not have been interviewing Mike, given her history of mocking people with speech difficulties (especially those who stutter). Difference between her and Michael….his kindness is genuine. Hers is for the cameras.
Stop lying, she's never mocked anyone with disabilities. Stfu with your fake posts. Do better troll
When did she do that?
@@josi7690 2008
God bless you Michael for all the work you have put in to curing Parkinsons. You are such an inspiration to all. CONGRATULATIONS !!❤❤
My childhood right here. You gave me great memories micheal. I loved your films. Me my dad and 4 brothers would sit and watch them all at Christmas. 😔 😟 sending love micheal ❤
Man,just the beginning of the docu, and how he struggled its funny i am living in that same nightmare, i can only be inspired. He is a great man, i got familiar with him watching the good wife/fight, and i just thought he was in character(my apologies, i come from 3rd world)
Michael you are a great human being, and i will forever be inspired, and thank you for "STILL"
May God keep and restore you❤❤❤❤❤
My dad had Parkinson’s and dementia so I’m well aware of this but what’s sadder MJF got this at 29 at the height of his career!
This doc was phenomenal. What an extraordinary human being he is.
This is what you call living with purpose! I love this segment and how Michael J. Fox interacted with The View team. It is inspiring and motivating to see him acknowledge his contributions to pop culture while also being so committed to finding a cure for Parkinson's and being able to talk about life. Such a big part of my childhood - that Thursday night lineup was just so good and wholesome.
I love Michael J Fox, my dad has parkinsons also and I understand his struggle, my dad is my hero. Michael j fox such an inspiration :)😊
He is everything!
Such a big part of my childhood.
He is the real life Peter Pan of my generation.
🙏❤🙏
I can’t believe how this disease has literally changed him so drastically. From a young agile and active guy, to someone who struggles and is deteriorating 🥺🥺🥺
My heart breaks for him. He has given so much.
Still now giving and sharing. His foundation is epic. Legend.
Lifetime achievement. Much loved.
