- Michael J. Fox was celebrated with a standing ovation at the BAFTA Awards in London on Sunday while presenting the evening's ultimate prize for Best Film.
Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, was aided onto the stage by an attendant who pushed him in a wheelchair.
The audience promptly stood up, and Fox followed suit, stepping out of the wheelchair and grasping the lectern for support as he announced the nominees.
Fox received his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease at 29-years-old in 1991 and publicly disclosed it in 1998.
He is best known for his roles in several iconic films, including: Back to the Future trilogy (1985, 1989, 1990), Teen Wolf, The Secret of My Success and Doc Hollywood.
This man has fought this disease for a very long time. Strong man.
So have millions of others. But their lives aren't as important as his.
@@Carl-bg7er don't be that person 🤦🙄
@@kingeatking It's not about. Don't be that person. How often do folks sympathize with folks who are not in the celebrity circles and what they are going through just like J Fox? But they are just an afterthought.
@@Carl-bg7er My brother has Parkinsons and was recently put on home hospice care. His doctors have said he likely won't see next year. My brother is only 53 years old.
Michael J Fox has my eternal admiration. For nearly 12 years he has been the very public face of a terrible disease. He has let the public see his disease progress. He hasn't done it for admiration or glory. Fox could have taken his money and disappeared from public view. He didn't.
Prior to his announcement Parkinsons was thought of in the public mind as an 'old persons disease'. He's changed that and he has brought awareness to millions of people.
His life isn't any more important than anyone else's. His fame means he had opportunities to show what this disease does to a person. Something my brother certainly couldn't have done. MJF didn't make the disease about him. He doesn't claim to be a martyr. He took the disease as an opportunity to educate and try to help others.
It's a shame that you can't see he's fighting for those millions and the millions more that will be struck with this disease in the years to come.
@@Carl-bg7er I would respond to your nonsense argument but jeffscott3186 put it better then I ever could 👏👏👏
MJF is the epitome of faith, hope, strength, and courage. Tracy, his wife of 39 years, is the face of true and enduring love.
That's true love right there ❤
@emeraldmoon5498 That says it all!!
AMEN 💛 🙏 TO THAT!!
his wife signed on for any fortune or misfortune
@@sexobscura it's not about signing up for it ... anyone can sign.
If fact you can sign up to just about anything these days.
What it is and should be able is making a loving commitment to someone else, putting words into actions. You can see marriage certificate or not she's there for Michael as much as he's there for his Wife
I can't stop crying..Michael is an inspiration! My husband has had Parkinson's for 17 years. To Michael's wife : you are amazing and dearly loved by all as well. The world needs you both ❤❤
My sister turned 70 in January and was just diagnosed with Parkinsons. I so appreciate what Michael has done to raise awareness of the disease and support for a cure. He and his family are all heroes.
okay (but why are people amazed that those married 'in sickness and health' actually do stand by their vows)
beautifully said ❤️
I almsot cried reading this. I wish you and your husband the longest happy life.
Met Michael J Fox in the early 2000s at the Parkinson's Unity Walk in Central Park along with my father, who was in a wheelchair because of Parkinson's. Michael was so sweet and kind to us all, but he hugged my father and that meant so much to us. He was in his early 30s, my dad was also diagnosed in his 30s. And my dad lived over 40 years with Parkinson's dying 3.5 year's ago at 75. It's hard to see your father deteriorate slowly through the years. But to have such kindness towards him, thank you Michael. God bless you and your family.
did you also 'touch his hem'
❤️🙏🙏❤️
A very proud Canadian here!
We love you sooo much Micheal J Fox!
You’re a hero to so many for so much….
😘🇨🇦
I m from Edmonton, known you were not raised here, but born here. It’s still a honor to have you as our hometown brat! They should rename Fox Drive Micheal JFox Drive share wit other person named Fox. Luv u nikw
I would be, too, if he was an Aussie 😊
thankyou canadian, for your better than yank actors, you're wonderful original tv shows. i love them, ycdtotv. trailer park boyz, spenny vs kenny, degrassi even wayne n shuster. but you can keep justin castro and that actor with the same initials, who i used to love, but not since he went woke.
🇨🇦 is racist!!!!!!!!!!
When you say that you're a proud Canadian, you immediately separate yourself the rest of humanity. Nationality is just a label. It isn't a value itself. Labels what separate us. Instead of a proud Canadian, be a happy and good human, a man of the whole humanity. Don't forget, you weren't born to Canada but you were born to Earth... born to the Universe...
Greetings from a different place of Earth!
It's going to be a sad day when the planet loses Michael J Fox. And a happy day in heaven.
Hes fake
Oh please 😢let’s not even think it
So true.
@@Test7017boooooom! Big mouth!!!
Stop kidding yourself with the fantasy idea of heaven. Face the reality, there's more peace in it. C'mon.
He is how to make me, at 77, cry for the Joy Michael has given all of us through helping OUR Family Ties grow
stronger with his unselfish Courage. GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL.
God bless Michael J Fox
That didn't happen did it.
He is a blessing to so many despite his challenges 💓
Yeah he did bless him. He blessed him with Parkinson's disease. Don't you just love the fact that your imaginary sky buddy has a plan for everyone?
Absolutely!
Yes, let us all be in awe of the imaginary god's blessings. This god dude bless Michael with Parkinson's disease. Michael must feel very blessed. I guess you can say that it is true that the imaginary one works in mysterious ways. I have heard that the mysterious one has a plan for everyone. It's too bad that his plan for Michael was to gradually turn him into a pretzel.
Love Michael J. Fox!
STAY HARD MICHAEL! 💪DAMN RIGHT, YOU TELL THEM "I'M STILL STANDING!"
Well said. Amen!
Okay now I'm crying. Canada loves you!!!
Dude is inspirational
Amazing the human body is the same body that feeds itself to grow can also turn on itself.
Underneath all the fame n fortune hes just a man trying to hang on. :(((
All the very best Michael. Heroes come in many different ways
Michael is an incredible human being ❤
@@Alien8-xq4jb yes, I am
Hes fake
@@Test7017And you’re a bot.
@@gasaholic47 russian or joooo
What does the color of my hair have to do with the way I feel about that man?
This made me cry. Life can be cruel.
go and read some Schopenhauer
I’m crying right now
can? no. it IS.
Congrats to Michael Fox. Mammoth effort. 👏👏
There is no one more I look up to than Michael J Fox, and seeing him doing this and not letting his disease ruin his life really makes me happy ❤
Michael is not just a survivor, he’s a WINNER. So much love and respect for this magnificent actor and truly amazing human being ❤❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Congrats to, and gratitude for a real fighter! Need more of this...
Still one of my all time favourites 💕💕💕💕💕
I will love you forever 🎉🎉🎉
what an legend were soo lucky to have such an superstar still around with us...??? As an Teenager myself I was watching all of his Movies back than in the Cinema.....???? Needless to say Familie Ties got me hooked on Michael J.Fox......
Stop using *an it’s *a..
Teen Wolf, The Secret Of My Success, Bright Lights Big City, Casualties Of War, The Hard Way, Greed, For The Love Of Money, Mars Attacks! & of Course The Back To The Future trilogy. Much respect for entertaining and making us smile, Michael J. Fox.
don't forget The frighteners, Doc Holllywood and his TV-Shows : Familie Ties, Spin City, The Good Wife,
glad someone remembers Secret of My Success and Love of money *grin* I tend to not see people mention those 2
Don't forget his brilliant cameos in Curb your Enthusiasm! He was so good.
And also Atlantis: The Lost Empire! A Disney's underrated gem!
Don't forget about Family Ties and Spin City. Those were great shows.
One of my cousins has this disease. Michael J. Fox is indeed a fighter and he stays the course. He's been married long term and fought this disease long term too. You go Michael!
If you are going to put this video up, show him speaking.
You would think so, but he's just a fill in and too right for here. Great wife he has too, that is a marriage which also needs applauds.
His speech is probably not the best at this point..m😢
@@dianemartin152doesn't matter...I would have liked to hear him (with subtitles if only really necessary). I guess the duration of this short vid doesn't permit to transmit the whole clip.
I’ll take him any way I can get him. ❤️
@@dianemartin152his speech is the best so STFU!!! 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
siiiiiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 😎
The most amazing thing about this man is he's done more for others than most of us will in a lifetime myself included. Perfect role model for kids and adults alike.
can you list his work for others (and being an actor won't be regarded as one of them, either)
bless you Michael... you are beautiful❤thank you so much for the awesome memories❤
My dad had that dreadful disease,it brought are family to its knees ànd there he is so brave🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Such a beautiful man, Michael J. Fox is such strength that he portrays with that terrible disease..
His wife is also a lovely lady they look so happy together. That is so nice to see 💝
Bless them both
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yay Michael
A great Canadian!!
They look stunning. Remembering great childhood memories racing to the movies to see his movies. He has lived his life with such grace.
As a fellow Canadian we as a nation are so proud of Michael J Fox. He is a great man, loves his family, great actor and he has demonstrated courage and an unwavering spirit as he fights daily to find a cure for Parkinson Disease. You are a true Canadian hero!!
I too am Canadian and you said all so perfectly. LOVE YOU MICHAEL❤❤❤
Michael J. Fox is a true symbol of Courage for everyone to look up to. A great person to admire for all of us...
I'm in tears with awe and appreciation of this incredible man and his supportive and gorgeous wife. So happy to watch him in this video. Thank you.
Michael's such a great man. Look at Gosling's pride and admiration for his compatriot. Oh, canada!
An actor who marked generations with the great action-adventure classic Back to the Future. Just the other day I was watching your film with my students so they could see the genius of the work, of Michael and the entire wonderful cast. Lots of strength to you!
Lucky students! What a cool thing to share with your students!
Tears won't stop . God Bless you Michael J. Fox .
he’s the man.!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😉☺️😊😃😆
✌🏻🇦🇺🌏🤘🏻
He was such a huge part of my youth.. from Family Ties to Marty McFly to Doc Hollywood and more.. never heard an unkind opinion or political crap from him, just good entertainment..
my heart goes out to him and his family..
Family ties had a very good run
And kudos towards their commitment to marriage.
Yes, I'm exactly, she has been his life and his children.
Michael J Fox is my childhood, some of my sweetest memories. Seeing how he struggles against Parkinson is the proof he's a great human being. Love from Italy
I feel his emotion right now, I too have Parkinson's Stage 4. It is very difficult every day to deal with this disease. Congratulations Michael .. 🗽
Be strong brother.
May you find comfort and blessing all throughout your journey,my friend 😌🙏
❤️
The best happy tears ive had in a long time!😊 Stay strong and keep keeping on! We love you, Micheal ❤
😭❤ Witnessing Michael J. Fox rise from his wheelchair at the BAFTAs is an incredibly touching moment, reminding us of the power of resilience and determination.
The sad thing in all this is that he has incredibly amassed over 2 billion dollars for Parkinson's research, and all they have to show for it is earlier diagnosis. Now people will know in advance if they are going to get it. But I don't think I'd want to know in advance. If I'm going to get Parkinson's in 10 years and there is nothing anyone can do about it, I don't want to know. Every time I would shake or shiver, I'd think it's Parkinson's starting. This is no fault of Michael's, but I'm just disappointed that more advancement has not been acheived, given the incredible amount of work and success Michael had in raising money.
He doesn't give up even when there is little hope for himself. That's what made him so admirable.
Two billion dollars for charity...
Oh my...
BRAVO Sir...
You are one helluva human being Mr Fox...
🇿🇦
Love Michael!
Bless him! Until you have personally lived the life with someone who has Parkinson’s you can’t imagine the struggles and heartbreak that comes with this horrible disease. Nothing can prepare you for the paths that it will take you down and the trials and tribulations that you will confront. Michael J Fox is a warrior as is my husband who is in his 15th year of the fight. Please contribute, pray, whatever it takes to help these people…they didn’t ask for this but they are certainly modern day heroes in the fight. Thank you everyone and thank you Michael J Fox!❤️❤️🙏
He came back from his future
God bless you and give you strength Michael. 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Michael J Fox is a hero!!!! GIVE HIM AN OSCAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤YES!!!
Such a strong man!!!!! Love him!!
The man pushes himself to stand in front of the world and give a speech, and you can't even fucking let us hear his words...
We love you MJF
I would like to hear Fox’s speech at BAFTA and not just see highlights.
He looks good! I see that he is gaining more control over his movements!! You go, Guy!! 💚 from NC.
Would have liked to hear him speak….he’s more than just to be ogled at!
Biff would have been the perfect helper .
What a lovely and devoted wife Tracy Pollan has been through all of Michael's travails. A beautiful couple! ❤❤
This is confirmation how much us Brits love Michael J Fox, long may he live too ❤️
IT would be great if RUclips would stop with the popup screens covering up the last part of the vid. It does this on OTHER vids, too.
He's amazing. My mom had Parkinsons disease. Its a brutal disease. Michael J. Fox is very strong, and brave. ❤😊
Love seeing something like this. Way to fight Michael!
I’m filled with joy and hope you can still surprise us all. I’ve been fighting for 4+ years after a single vehicular accident that broke my Spine T6-T9, my tibia and my face all requiring hard ware from suffering a seizure. I also sustained multiple other serious injuries. I can barely walk now after relearning how but it bought me all that time. Everyday is a fight with many small battles which I’m sure is no different with you Michael but if we can inspire, it shines light through the darkness and that’s special.
Why not broadcast the presentation?
Licensing.
@@JCredTVRubbish.
Hes fake
He is wonderful and his family is wonderful and Tracey has been an ever present support and love of his life since family ties days. We must be thankful for our good health every day you dont know what might be around the corner 💜
Turns out he was not only a hero of my later childhood in the teens, but still is. Keep on going Michael.
He still looks good. I wish he can do one more Back to the Future. I used to love those movies growing up. I recently binge watched for the first time Family Ties. So awesome for an 80s show. He was so great in it. Hopefully they’ll find a cure soon:)
Michael is a warrior, he’s a hero, he’s so loved by me all these years. What a guy❤
I’m so moved by this that I’m literally shaking
The Frighteners. Watch it the other day one of the best actors ever!!!
The culmination of his documentary is truly tragic, when he's asked "Are you in pain today?" and he replies 'I'm in pain every day.' Heart breaking.
This is the exact reason to follow people like M.J. Fox. A true humanitarian, who believes in others, and himself. Don’t EVER Stop Believing in Yourself. Love You, Michael J. Fox❤❤❤
Does anyone know the track? It's very soothing. Either way, amazing commitment and achievements made by Michael.
I’m trying to find out this song too!! Did you find out what it is?
I wanted to hear him speak
God bless you, Michael J. FOX
he'll always be marty mcfly. forever and ever
This guy has been through hell and back.
Ryan Gosling .. fellow Canadian.
LOTS OF LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA MR MICHAEL J FOX...ALEX P KEATING...❤
Love Michael J Fox ❤️🇺🇸
What an absolute legend! Bless. Why is it that it’s so often the most amazing people, are cursed with the most undeserved and horrible diseases?
There's no answer 😢❤
Now I wanna watch some Family Ties reruns 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The strength of his wife 😢❤amazing
Is it copywrite? Is that why we didn't here his monlogue?
Said to see the deterioration, but wonderful to see the determination and guts
What is this report?? Music blaring..??Photos?? And what ?. Are you kidding him?? Do you need new subscribers for your channel?? Shame. He deserves better than that. Let him speak..
My grandmother had this. She lived for twenty five years. It is sad watching someone who has Parkinson's.
Just show him speaking
Love him 🥰 My grandmother passed from Parkinson. 💜 Disabled Woman Veteran
Very Said. I also remember MJF mostly from the great work he did playing Alex Keaton in Family Ties. I thought he did a great Dramatic Role in Casaulties of War.
I think he's pretty awesome! Always liked him and thought he funny! Seems to be a good and brave person!🙏👍
My wife had Parkinson's for 15 years before she passed away for its ravages. Knowing, first hand, what the challenges are living with Parkinson's, It's unimaginable that Michael J. Fox has battled and persevered for such a long time... the man is a legend and inspiration who continues to defy all odds. Blessings...
He does not need this sobby music!!... and the "rise from wheelchair" oh yeah F.... off !! he doesn't want to be portrait like a victim.. He's a legend, give him some MF respect..
It would have been great to hear what MJ Fox had to say on stage,instead of a voice over telling us what we could already see. This is poor posting, in my view. C'mon Sky News, you guys are much better than this. 😮
Michael J Fox has been and always will be a class act.
God bless him. 🙏
I grew up watching his movies and TV shows. I pray for his well being..❤ ☮️
Seems like perfection that they bring in Doctor Who a time traveler to introduce Marty McFly who’s done so himself.
My Dad only made it 3 years but he was in his 70s. I'm still angry about his death because he suffered really bad and my Mom was a Saint through it all. She took care of him till his very last day. Nobody should have this disease, it's horrible.
This video is embarrassing. He’s not dead. I clicked to listen to his award presentation, not to goggle at his condition.
