    This is why comedy is so important. He uses it to show that he’s ok. He’s sick yea, but he will always be Michael J Fox. Comedy breaks through all barriers.

      @sheilarough236 Год назад +2

      A movie he made when he was young, several people who worked on the movie later developed Parkinson’s, which leads to believe that there might be an environmental connection, especially since he was so young when he was diagnosed, not even 30. Parkinson’s usually doesn’t start showing symptoms until patients are in their 60’s

    • @canileaveitblank1476
      @canileaveitblank1476 Год назад

      Actually, it was Parkinson’s that got him to stop treating his wife like $hit. So, you’re probably confusing his acting persona’s with his real persona; which is rarely seen by the public.

His achievement in funding Parkinson's research goes way beyond any honor in existence.

Thirty years later he’s still with us and although he has limitations he adapts and keeps on keepin’ on. Thank you Michael J Fox and congratulations, you are so deserving.

    Brilliant speech. Those of us who grew up in the 80's remember 80's famous. Michael has achieved a lot in life, some of the most memorable movies ever made. A loving family and a wonderful wife. But you don't realise until you hear him talk what a cracking sense of humour he has. This speech was both funny and moving. He has met Parkinson's head on, and it does not, and has not, ever defined who he is. Michael is still the same person he always was, and his willingness to help others is a testament to who he is as a person. Good man

Michael J Fox not only has that, but respect from both his peers in the entertainment business and anyone and everyone that understands what they are going through, but will still love them all the same. Thank you for your courage and example to millions of others that suffer the same disease globally.

      Thank you for your vulnerability in your comment. Most of us live our lives distracted with entertainment or chores and not thinking about the temporary nature of our lives-almost thinking we are eternal creatures. But in reality everyone from young people to elderly people are vulnerable to death. It’s a reality that death is part of life just as birth is. I guess knowing we will eventually die can make us treat ourselves and others with compassion and kindness. We can appreciate our lives more knowing the fleeting nature of it. Happy Holidays to you Emmanuel

Fox seemed to creep in some of the research as I was deep diving this disease and learning. I just finally came across this video and it brought tears to my eyes. Hes suffered through this horrid disease along time, he was as he said unsure of its progression, it was very fast for my father (15 yrs), it was soul, spirit, mind, and emotionally crushing, MJ Fox has such humor and grace dealing with it, he gave me hope, and he is a inspiration. Im so glad he has such wonderful powerful support, end stage Parkinson's is not anything I wish anyone to have to go through, and the family having to watch the final rapid decline.

    What a great and humble man. I laughed at all the jokes he made, but I also had tears in my eyes. It makes me so sad to see how the disease is slowly taking over. He's so down to earth, so sweet, so nice, never had a scandal. He loves his family and his family loves him! Michael, I wish you all the best......❤️

    Michael is a beautiful example of someone who was dealt a difficult situation but who chose to find good mentors and leaders and made joy and light in a dark place. I have a feeling we are going to celebrate Michael not as the beautiful soul who entertained us but as the one who helped humanity find the cure to this debilitating disease. His humor, candor, and heart are his greatest attributes, and we are all blessed by his courageous life.

      I'll tell you a story about a similar situation in my life. 2 childhood friends fought as teens and the more brilliant and promising of the 2 ended up in a year long coma and with a severe traumatic brain injury. The prognosis was "he'll never wake up". He did.
      Then, " he'll never talk". He did with great difficulty.
      Then, " he'll never walk". He did with great difficulty.
      Then, he won't be able to take care of himself". He did. And not only that, he returned to university in our town and earned his doctorate and for years he was tenured mathematics professor. He was killed riding his inline bicycle on the way to campus a few years ago. He was an amazing guy and I admired him and I will always tell people about him. We were fast friends to the end.
      Thanks for reading this.

    He was a part of lives back in the 80s, he pretty much lived in our living rooms. That really touched me on so many different levels but most of all because I can see that he knows he is not his failing body and talks to it like it's an annoying dog. This man knows who he truly is and that's why he exudes peace and stillness.
