He did his thing man and I am so happy he is considered a legend. Well deserved, this guy was my childhood. It also helped me as the short kid in school because he really showed that short guys can be tall in every meaning of the word
Gotta love MJF for still being on camera and not hiding away. He is, and always be one of the most memorable actors of all time. His disease has no affect on his legacy!
I've loved him from the beginning and the way he's handled this terrible diagnosis has only made me love him more. He's said, more than once, that the research he works so hard to sponsor probably won't bear fruit in time to help him, but it may help those who come after him. It makes me cry inside, but it also increases my respect for him tenfold.
@Lion Ritchie - 100% true. And that goes way beyond any respect or promise, or something given during marriage vows. It is much more deeper than that, as you know you going to stay with that other person no matter what. Marriage or not. Much respect to Michael and his wife, and family. Truly a beautiful couple, and human beings.
Back to the Future is arguably the most timeless movie ever. Years later I can watch it and still have a blast.... it has really stood the test of time.
This made my cry...My father died 3 years ago. He struggled with parkinson for almost 20 years. For me for a true hero...my rear life superman...people like micheal 'still' deserve it..waiting to watch it.
Michael J Fox is someone everyone should aspire to be. From Family Ties to Back to the Future ,Teen wolf as well as the underrated Casualties of War, every part he’s played has been memorable. Such a great actor and human. Easily considered in My opinion one of the true 80’s icons. Proud to have grown up during those times. Thanks Michael ! A million times over.
Michael J. Fox, A warrior in his own right, Enduring every tremor and shake, With grit and determination in sight. Parkinson's may have slowed him down, But it never broke his spirit, He continues to inspire and astound, With his unwavering will to live it. We honor his struggle and pain, And stand by his side in solidarity, With empathy and compassion, we gain, A deeper understanding of his reality. - MotivationDaily (M da Vela)
I work as a nurse, you would be surprised how many people actually have the condition, it is more common than you think. Michael has been a great advocate for awareness and advocacy. Thank you Michael!
As another person who became disabled in adulthood, I’m grateful that Michael feels he can share this with everyone. I’m going to try to get my family to watch it because they act like my personhood, intelligence, right to independence - all my abilities - were at least as impaired as my body. Maybe if they see someone they grew up watching who later became increasingly disabled still be himself, humour, intelligence and personality intact despite the trauma of losing so much physically, they’ll be able to see that I’m still who I was.
So very well said & you deserve it from your family to have a resurgence in your relationship with them! This docufilm will be special & have its own legacy
WELL SAID!! Learning to let go of caring about what others think of us, especially family, can be a life-long lesson that comes in many ways, shapes and forms!!
Oh sister. I am on the same stage w/you.I was diagnosed w/Late-on-set Multiple Sclerosis at 55. I'm now 64. When in a flair I have cognitive issues. But not all the time. So if I forget or blunder the same way a 16 year old would some....people...well you know. To those who have sorrow for me I remind them, it's more common from 19-30. I had my hey day. Remember Maria, we are merely under construction!
My wife and I are 80s kids who grew up with MJF. He and his movies are a big part of our lives. We genuinely love the guy and it crushed us when we found out about his Parkinson's. One of my favorite memories was sharing Back to the future with my kids. My son went out and bought the entire Back To The Future collection and original action figures. We still have BTTF marathons every of year! It is not surprising to see Michael battling his disease with the courage, strength, and optimism as he has shown. And, all the while STILL making us laugh! This world has certainly been a better place with Michael J Fox in it! I look forward to seeing this new movie. I imagine my entire family and the rest of the world will be right there with me. God bless you and your family Michael!
It’s such a great movie…I saw it today and I was on the brink of tears a few times but held it together because he clearly states he doesn’t want anyone’s sympathy He’s strong willed and amazing to this day
Saw him speak at a college in his earlier stage of Parkinson's... the amount of humility, transparency and optimism that he radiated was absolutely mind blowing. Has this instant ability to connect to everyone in the room and leave you motivated to be a better person for those around you. Way to keep the human race human MJF.
" 'In sickness and in health' I remember her whispering"..... Instant tears. Love is such a powerful thing. That was 3 years in to their marriage and she rode it out all the way. Bravo.
I don't care what anyone says. Michael J. Fox is one of the most beloved actors, bravely fighting for his life. How can anyone NOT love this guy‽ God bless you, Michael!
It makes me so indescribably happy to see Michael is doing well man. I’m an 80s baby; we grew up watching BTTF religiously and it was a bit of a heartbreaker to learn he was suffering from Parkinson’s but to see him live his life and continue to push forward is so inspiring as a permanently disabled person.
yeah it also broke my heart to see Bruce Willis suffer from dementia.. so many greats get these terrible diseases.. BUT keep your chin up just like Mr. Fox :D
We might be the best generation EVER!!! Us 80s folks had the blessing of living on one of the greatest decades EVER. I love MJF He is still one of the funniest and charming actors around!!! I would watch him in anything
Imagining that moment, him delivering the news to his wife, and her whispering that reassurance of unwavering love and support. What a somber yet beautiful moment.
@@DrNoBrazil y u mad? they are both actors. its not like she needs his money. did it ever occur to u she loves him? I mean he's also short and that didnt stop her? youre giving off incel vibes. cuz only a bitter ass person would see their relationship as negative. just cuz your love life aint working out doesnt mean everyone is in a superficial relationship
This is the best Documentary of 2023, It made me respect Michael J Fox even more now than ever, also His Prefomance as Milo Thatch in Atlantis: The Lost Empire is very underrated
In a world where the word ‘legend’ is thrown around with abandon, this guy is the real deal. A true legend and bona fide hero. Thank you for your inspiration, MJF.
What is so inspiring about this man is that he is facing his illness head on, without any anger or hiding. I have so much respect for this man, he IS a legendary actor, and a even more legendary man. I myself am going through some tests, tests that may show that I could possibly have cancer. This after I was diagnosed with emphysema and heart disease. I've been sitting in fear waiting for the biopsy results from the ten ➕ polyps they found during my test. My lab work was off as well. I look at this man, who is battling an illness that has taken away a lot of his functions, yet he remains positive, he fights, and continues to battle everyday! He is truly a role model for so many people. I was born in 1967, so I grew up watching him on Family Ties, which I loved! Alex P. Keaton was such a iconic character and he portrayed him perfectly. Then of course came his Box Office Smash, Back to the Future I, II, & III. Marty McFly along with Doctor Emmitt Brown, his Mom Lorraine Baines McFly, his Dad, Marty Sr. in one full movie and a while a different actor took over the role in Back to the Future part II, he was still a integral part of the franchise. As was the "Bad Guy" Thomas F. Wilson as Biff Tannen. These three movies were just about the best all-time comedic films made. Although the whole Mom having a crush on you? Yessh! It was still one of the best movies I've ever seen. Only a few, Star Wars, and a couple of others are above them. I've started collecting the NECA Action Figures that they've made from those movies. I still need the Marty McFly figure from Back to the Future part II. Micheal J. Fox has made an impact in so many people's lives. He's entertained more people, created more laughter and joy, than 99% of the people in this world. He's ALWAYS been extremely polite, he never let any egomaniacal issues ever happen. Stories that I've heard shows Micheal J. Fox as a selfless person, always willing to help, or give some time to a fan. Tracy Pollard his wonderful wife was always right there as well. Such amazing people in an industry where some of the top people allow their egos to rule their lives. Many live hidden in gated communities, armed guards patrolling constantly, and in some cases I do understand that. The difference between those people and Micheal J. Fox is he has never "hid", and he loves the devotion of his fans. He is truly ONE OF A KIND! I HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE CAN HELP OTHERS WITH HIS ILLNESS, AND HOPEFULLY THEY CAN MAKE SOME PROGRESS IN NOT JUST MANAGING THIS ILLNESS, BUT POSSIBLY CURING IT ONE DAY SOON! God Bless him, his family, and everyone and anyone who has to live with a illness, and to their families for strength and support. Also the rest of the people who knew someone who had or has a friend who's sick. Take care of each other, and God Bless us all.
This movie is going to make us laugh and cheer and cry and hope and wish and remember and dream. For many of us, this is a childhood icon turned contemporary everyday hero. Michael J Fox is every bit the definition of legend. We will all bring tissues to the table - for the tears of laughter, the tears of joy, the tears of pain.
Inspiring enough to make you spit out yet another formulaic video featuring the dialogue of someone else's dialogue (that you lifted) cut to a bunch of bullshit stock footage? So you can make money from YT royalties for other people's ideas and speeches?
I've heard bad things about so many leading men in Hollywood, but in 40 years of watching him, I've never heard anyone say a bad word about Michael. Not a co-star, a gossip rag, a rumor mill... no one. Great dude, hope there's many more good things to come for him.
The guy was moving at 100 mph. I remember he had to shoot back to the future during free time from Family ties. He never had any time to stop and do anything bad. lol
100%. We all know what a great actor he is, but he chose to use his remaining working years taking similar style roles that paid better for obvious reasons. The shame is that we didn't get to see him get his opportunity in darker or grittier roles.
Michael J Fox is a world-wide treasure! The sadness that surrounds his health is typical of nature not caring about who it breaks! Michael J Fox, however you know of him, his story and braveness is something to be admired..
My hats off to Michael J. & His caring wife Tracy for sticking together and fighting this awful disease together. Most hollywood couples split up at the drop of a hat within a short time span. They've been married over 30 years. Just amazing.
Man, this guy was HUGE back in the day, he was everywhere, I turned on the tv and chances were, there he was. Back to the future remains to be one of my favorite films to this day.
Same man and I found out about back to the future in like 2015 and it has become my favorite movie of all time love all the movies wish I would have found out about it sooner hopefully I know this probably won’t happen but they should make a back to the future 4 like mjf could he could be a parent or something and one of his kids could find a Time Machine or something like that 😉👍
Michael J Fox is a living legend. I wish we could see more of him. I think the last time I've seen him in action was on Scrubs. He's a terrific actor and an icon. Just from watching his movies and interviews you can tell he's an amazing person.
Even with Parkinson's you only notice it a little bit in these small clips, he's really seems like he has a grasp on it and looks to be doing well considering. He is such a grounded guy and that's part of his charm and why no one has a bad thing to say about him. I miss seeing him on the screen so I'm really looking forward to this. That whole "That's boring" line that he says speaks volumes. Long live Michael J. Fox.
Exactly. You only get a tiny glimpse in these clips with no real idea of the full extent of the pain and suffering he has gone through with this disease. Watch some of his full interviews, and you will see the toll it has taken on his body - absolutely devestating.
Agree, however my old man has had it for 40 years, trust me, it’s a struggle for them and it gets worse rapidly. An author who I can’t remember once wrote about the Parkinson smile, it’s legit and Fox has done well to hide it. Hope this brings more for research funds, either way this guy is a legend for putting this to film.
I saw this yesterday it was a well told story from MJF's perceptive. We all needed to know what MJF went through to become the loving star that he is. What happened when he found out about his diagnosed. Also how MJF is dealing with it today. He has been one of my most favourite movie stars, even before his classic movie BTTF. Thank you for telling your story. I'll be honest with everyone it took me about one day to gain enough strength to watch this movie. It's a very moving, funny, sad adaptation of his life. He tells the audience about his struggles, the ups and downs of his life. MJF you will always get a standing ovation from all of us for what you do. We all stand beside you always & forever. MJF always has a funny punch line no mater what is going on... Thank you.
People from younger generations don't quite realize how popular this man was. One of the biggest stars in the world. I remember his performance in "Casualties Of War".
He was fantastic in that. Another great performance was Light of Day, with Joan Jett. He and Joan stayed best friends after they filmed that movie together, and she praised him as being one of the kindest, most patient people she had ever met.
My Dad has Parkinsons as well. Michael has been an inspiration to him to keep fighting. I'm also so grateful to him for all the work Michael as put into the disease to help fight it. Thank you for helping keep my dad my dad for as long as he as.
@@tenyafalls8970 I am not sure if they ever figured out a true cause. I personally think it was stress and exhaustion (he was doing a lot of travel for his job at the time). Medication made his symptoms worse, though, because at first they where treating him as if he where having brain seizures.
I watched the trailer holding back from crying. Fox is one of my favorite actors of all time, and it's really cool that he's also an example of perseverance. Much love and respect for this guy.
My mom has had Parkinsons since i was 11, and its really a horrible thing to witness. Seing a person you love slowly being taken from you is hard to cope with, but the only thing we can do is try accept it and enjoy the time we have. For my mother, its sadly reaching the later stages, she cannot do much by herself and the dementia is getting quite bad. Most people i meet still think about Parkinsons as just being tremors, but i hope more brave people like Micheal J. Fox can help spread the word, and i thank him for his efforts.
About freakin' time I say! That's one story that deserves to be told. I remember when we heard the news. We were all devasted for him. He was (and still is) so loved, it's incredible. I am glad he keeps living a full life, and growing, and found a way to stay in this business. I wish him every happiness.
This is incredibly self serving and ego driven, and nothing more. Here's a guy who's gotten such great medical care for his illness and has lived so long as a result of that care that he has the luxury of filming a movie about how long he's been able to live. There's no story here.
@@danielm4114 Do you know anything about him? He established charities and research to help people around the globe with his illness. He has done more good for the world than you ever will.
Yeah, it was extremely unfortunate and sad news, and in a similar but I suppose more extreme way I'm reminded of Tim Curry, poor fellow and the stroke that disabled him. Saw him talking to fans in a livestream of sorts who all showered him with love and praise, yet he seemed to still look quite sad and defeated. Allegedly he was offered the part of the wheelchair man in Silence of the Lambs but passed up the offer so it instead went to... I can't remember his name but I think he's the guy who plays Commissioner Gordon in the Christopher Nolan Batman series. Pretty sure he also played Dracula in that '90s black-and-white film, I think starring Keanu Reeves? Gary Oldman! Yeah he got the role of the guy in a wheelchair with no face. "Seemed like a good idea at the time." I think it'd be nice to hear Tim Curry's story too... however it kinda seems like his disability broke him more than Parkinsons had for Micheal J. Fox. Very sad, but it uplifts me to hear that Fox is still active and even working on a new movie! Power to him! And I hope Curry finds strength.
@@RileyWritey I'm just saying who really cares about a guy who has enough money to live comfortably despite a terminal illness? My heart doesn't break for someone with the means to manage their illness. I feel worse for the people dying anonymously from something like Parkinson's without proper management and treatment. This is just self aggrandizing celebrity bullshit.
One of the most charismatic people to ever live. MJF was born to be a movie star. It’s so great having a biography of someone who is still alive and can sign off on it.
He is such an amazing human. We've had the opportunity to work with him on several occasions when we provided the Time Machine, and he is simply inspiring. He doesn't make excuses, he just kicks ass and keeps on keeping on. Can't wait to watch this!
Have you met the couple who drive around in a DeLorean that looks just like the one in the movies? I met them years ago in Chicago, I believe they were raising money, maybe for Parkinson's. Maybe you have a connection to them.
@@JesseDishner That’s probably not the original owners. There were like 20 replicas and so far as I know I haven’t seen one so you by far are lucky to see one.
@@spartanalphamode2987 I'm almost certain it was a replica - a real Delorean, but not one from the film, but it was modified to look like the time machine itself. I have pictures somewhere in my Google Photos, I'll have to go look for them, it was sometime between in the late 2000's.
Even if he wasn't famous, I know this man would've made the best out his life. He is the type of person I wish I was, and I don't mean in accomplishments. I mean in his outlook, kindness, humbleness, and humor.
Hey. Having a bad mental health day here... Really bad... Just want to say that you can be that kind of person whenever you want. I can't seem to grasp it, but I believe in you. ❤
The only thing great about him having Parkinson's is the light he has shone on the disease and the money for research that light has brought. Bad things happen to good people but he's so damned good that he isn't letting it be all bad. I love this man so much!♥️ Always have, always will!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❣️
As a child of the 80s and 90s, Michael J Fox was a staple in my life almost like Happy Meals or Arcades at the mall. He's a National Treasure. BTTF is what he's most famous for but he killed in everything he was involved in. I don't know him personally but I get the vibe that he's genuinely "good". I'm a grown man now with a family of my own and to see him persevere through his disease is admirable and aspirational. I believe there is an unhealthy level of fandom and expectation we put on celebrities' but MJF strikes me as a celebrity worthy of the adoration he receives. Looking forward to checking this out!
As a fellow Burnaby boy, Michael is one of my all time heroes long before the Parkinson's diagnosis. But then he became even more of a hero. His Mom was very kind and generous. Way to go Mike Fox from Burnaby, British Columbia! You`ve done us so very proud!
What a privilege to be able to follow the trajectory of this disease through Michael 's story! Definitely want to watch this. His way of coping with Parkinson's over the years shows that he is a legend.
@@freemagicfun _Still: A Michael J. Fox Story_ already screened theatrically at the South by Southwest Film Festival. It will screen April 21 at the San Francisco International Film Festival at the CGV Theater in San Francisco.
The 1st thing I saw him and was family ties and as a Canadian child to see a Canadian child go out and make something of himself in that way made my day made all of us Canadian children so freaking happy he deserves this he is a legend hes amazing and hes so talented thank you for being such a bright light when we all needed it and you still are that bright light thank you
What an awesome movie. MJF and his wife Tracy are one of a kind. I loved the movie Mikey by the way Michael. I loved all your movies. This story is told so well!!!!!
He's a class act. I'm relatively certain that he wants his message to be one of hope and resilience, not of heartbreak. When life knocks you down, and it will, get back up.
My sister died with Parkinson's. She was a very funny and intelligent person. The lucky part with MJF is that we grew up with him and knew him as the funny and talented person he IS. It's hard to see others treat someone as less when you know who they are. The mask like face and the weakening voice (My sister was a singer) is not who they are. I love that he has made this movie.
He is having a hard time dealing with this disease, but he remains Michael J. Fox a living legend, a man who made us dream, and made us feel young again.
Michael is such a great, valuable, kind, strong and wonderful person and actor that I have admired since Family Ties! This little big man is an inspiration to anyone who wants to create and doesn't let anything get him down! Michael J. Fox is an absolute force of nature! Michael...we love you and wish you all the best for you and your family always!🫶🫶🫶💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙏🙏🙏
One of the most handsome and charismatic actors. Whenever he's on TV for any reason, I always pause and listen. An expert of his craft, and a good person to boot.
Not just an icon, not just a movie star, not just an inspiration, but a fucking tough as nails bandit hard case as well. Thank you, Michael. Thank you for the treasure trove of wonderful childhood movie memories and also thank you for your present day inspirations.
I must have seen BTTF Trilogy movies a hundred times, but as soon as 'The Power of Love' comes on in 1, I am transported back to my local cinema in 1985 with my friends with a smile on my face. This guy is my hero!
I can't wait to see this! All kids that grew up in the 80's wanted to be MJF. He's still an amazing force of inspiration and entertainment to me as an adult.
I'm 40 and I still want to be him! He's such an amazing human and as someone in the comments section here pointed out, you never hear anything bad about him. Tell me who else can say that in Hollywood there isn't many. And he grew up close to where I live, I drive by the Michael J. Fox theatre quite often.
He was blessed with so much: A long-lasting supportive marriage, a loving family, an incredibly successful career, charisma to burn, and a sensible head on his shoulders. It's such a shame that he's had to suffer with Parkinson's for so long. Such a horrible disease for anyone to have to endure. EDIT: Hey folks, I can totally see how it looked like I was talking as if Michael's gone. But I meant 'was' in the sense that some people are blessed with certain gifts when they're born. For example, I can say that my mother was blessed with beauty, kindness and musical talent, but she's still very much alive! Have a great day!
I'm 31 and I don't (think I) have Parkinson's and I'm telling you judging from everything he's been sharing the past 3 months he's 10x more alive than I am right now. Listen to him. Present tense sister. Presence, tense.
@@chrisp1355 he's 61, a year younger than my dad. They share a name and a passion for art along with some strong genes. Michael is young and enjoying himself, right now it's more than I can say for myself. He wins.
@@chrisp1355 Exactly what I was going to say. Of course we all wish this disease never happened but he's been so blessed. He's had the money to afford the best medical care, he's been able to raise millions for research and he has the love, and support of an incredible family. So what if he can't make films? Success is found in many ways, not just in Hollywood or from celebrity.
I couldn't even see the trailer because I was crying so hard. As a 52 year old woman who grew up with Michael J Fox on the TV, on the big screen, as a heartthrob......it's beautiful, heartbreaking but what a fucking legend.
I can't wait to see this about one of the most beloved actors of our generation. His illness is such a tragedy, but it's so heartwarming to see he's still kicking, still hasn't lost his sense of humor and willing to share his story with us all.
After all of the things that Michael has been through in his life, he remains very positive, uplifting, inspiring, and cheerful. God Bless Him and his family 💙
As a 90's kid, Michael J. Fox was a part of my childhood. I would copy his lines, "Nobody calls me-" in elementary school! My dad played in a band, and one night he let me pick the Mandolin after one of his shows, anyway I got on stage and started acting like Marty McFly! I was sliding on my back, pretending I was playing, my dad said, "Get off that stage boy!!" Good times, and I wish the best for Michael. 🙏
I absolutely love this man. He's the epitome of a real mensch, and he's handled what life has thrown him with incredible grace, dignity, and even humor. In my eyes he's truly a hero. I've also heard from multiple sources who have gotten to know him personally that he''s as kind, warm, down to earth, and genuine as can be.
Michael J Fox is without a doubt one of the good guys. So humbled by his talent, strength and character. Looking forward to watch this knowing there will be tears. As a child of the best decade in human history (80's), I can only send you much love and gratitude for the wonderful time you gave us through you acting. We love, Michael.
I remember working in the Paramount Studios mail room in the late-80's when he was at his peak of stardom and feeling really envious of everything he had. Later, I thought how childish and selfish I was. The best we can do is recognize everything we do have and be eternally grateful for those things. Health, most importantly.
Just off the trailer alone; I hope this film gets nominated for every award it can get; including film festivals… and then win everything! It looks incredible! ❤
I watched this last night and it was so well done! I definitely identified with Michael in some ways since I have several neurological issues. I really sympathized with him when I saw his tremors because I also have a tremor (not nearly as bad obviously) and I know exactly what it's like to try to do something with your hands and you just can't get them to do what you want them to do. Anyway, definitely recommend this one!
Love him!!! So sad that he got that dreadful condition at such a young age. So blessed to have Tracy - pure love! Loved him in "Family Ties" - I watched that show every evening it was on. I'm happy to see him again.
I can't wait to watch this. He is a living legend, both for his on screen performances and how he handles life offscreen. I'd highly recommend reading his autobiographies which provide a deeper insight into his personal life, family and how he lives with Parkinson's.
Love this guy, both my siblings were diagnosed with HD not long after Michael came out about Parkinson’s. Like Parkinson’s, noticeable signs are the hand twitching. They both passed now from the disease and it blows me away Michael is still going strong!!
He was my first love, had posters of him in my bedroom, as a teenager. I truly admire what he is doing, still, with this disease. I can watch Back to the future 2000 more times, and will never get old. God bless him, as his family. Legend.

BEST COMMENT. Deserves more likes. You´ve got mine.
"That's boring" if they did it the wrong way LOL You've got mine, as well.

Mr Rogers and Freddie Mercury didnt deserve them?
this isn't a biopic.
He did his thing man and I am so happy he is considered a legend. Well deserved, this guy was my childhood. It also helped me as the short kid in school because he really showed that short guys can be tall in every meaning of the word
Honestly my favorite role ever was in Curb Your Enthusiasm with Larry David, he cracked me up!
Well in every meaning except the literal one
well... technically not in "every" meaning, amirite
@@lowrider81hd Did you shake the coke can?..That episode was a classic.
In 1986 when he was accepting his Emmy, and said "I feel four feet tall," that was comedy genius!
Gotta love MJF for still being on camera and not hiding away. He is, and always be one of the most memorable actors of all time. His disease has no affect on his legacy!
If anything he grew 10 fold in stature..
I've loved him from the beginning and the way he's handled this terrible diagnosis has only made me love him more. He's said, more than once, that the research he works so hard to sponsor probably won't bear fruit in time to help him, but it may help those who come after him. It makes me cry inside, but it also increases my respect for him tenfold.
Beautifully said!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Much respect to Michael and his wife, and family. Truly a beautiful couple, and human beings.
Back to the Future is arguably the most timeless movie ever. Years later I can watch it and still have a blast.... it has really stood the test of time.
Yeah, and my kids can watch it over and over still, ages 11 and 14, so it definitely appeals to this day.
Say hi to your Mom for me.
Timeless… test of time. I see what you did there. 😉😂 It really is one of the most perfect movies ever made.
Yep, I watched it as a kid and recently watched it with my kids. Everyone just loves it.
pun intended?
This made my cry...My father died 3 years ago. He struggled with parkinson for almost 20 years. For me for a true hero...my rear life superman...people like micheal 'still' deserve it..waiting to watch it.
A small man in height but a bigger-than-life legend. Michael J Fox is the epitome of courage .
Michael J Fox is someone everyone should aspire to be. From Family Ties to Back to the Future ,Teen wolf as well as the underrated Casualties of War, every part he’s played has been memorable. Such a great actor and human. Easily considered in My opinion one of the true 80’s icons. Proud to have grown up during those times. Thanks Michael ! A million times over.
I remember i must have been 7 or 8yrs old and new back then MJF was as big as Michael Jackson!
Michael J. Fox,
A warrior in his own right,
Enduring every tremor and shake,
With grit and determination in sight.
Parkinson's may have slowed him down,
But it never broke his spirit,
He continues to inspire and astound,
With his unwavering will to live it.
We honor his struggle and pain,
And stand by his side in solidarity,
With empathy and compassion, we gain,
A deeper understanding of his reality.

I work as a nurse, you would be surprised how many people actually have the condition, it is more common than you think. Michael has been a great advocate for awareness and advocacy. Thank you Michael!
Thank you for all you do! The world would be lost without giant hearted souls like you ❤🙏
Yes. He has the stage to do so which is wonderful. People listen to him.
There are a LOT of conditions though that are very similar in nature, not all are parkinsons.
My coworker has this. Its sad but he's fighting it.
I thought THC can somewhat cure Parkinsons or made it mild. Correct me if i'm wrong cause i saw some clips.
As another person who became disabled in adulthood, I’m grateful that Michael feels he can share this with everyone. I’m going to try to get my family to watch it because they act like my personhood, intelligence, right to independence - all my abilities - were at least as impaired as my body. Maybe if they see someone they grew up watching who later became increasingly disabled still be himself, humour, intelligence and personality intact despite the trauma of losing so much physically, they’ll be able to see that I’m still who I was.
So very well said & you deserve it from your family to have a resurgence in your relationship with them! This docufilm will be special & have its own legacy
God bless you. My father had MS when I was young. He was still my father.
WELL SAID!! Learning to let go of caring about what others think of us, especially family, can be a life-long lesson that comes in many ways, shapes and forms!!
@@annelawton6783 Thank you, I will look them up
Oh sister. I am on the same stage w/you.I was diagnosed w/Late-on-set Multiple Sclerosis at 55. I'm now 64. When in a flair I have cognitive issues. But not all the time. So if I forget or blunder the same way a 16 year old would some....people...well you know. To those who have sorrow for me I remind them, it's more common from 19-30. I had my hey day. Remember Maria, we are merely under construction!
My wife and I are 80s kids who grew up with MJF. He and his movies are a big part of our lives. We genuinely love the guy and it crushed us when we found out about his Parkinson's. One of my favorite memories was sharing Back to the future with my kids. My son went out and bought the entire Back To The Future collection and original action figures. We still have BTTF marathons every of year! It is not surprising to see Michael battling his disease with the courage, strength, and optimism as he has shown. And, all the while STILL making us laugh! This world has certainly been a better place with Michael J Fox in it! I look forward to seeing this new movie. I imagine my entire family and the rest of the world will be right there with me. God bless you and your family Michael!
It’s such a great movie…I saw it today and I was on the brink of tears a few times but held it together because he clearly states he doesn’t want anyone’s sympathy He’s strong willed and amazing to this day
Saw him speak at a college in his earlier stage of Parkinson's... the amount of humility, transparency and optimism that he radiated was absolutely mind blowing. Has this instant ability to connect to everyone in the room and leave you motivated to be a better person for those around you. Way to keep the human race human MJF.
Inspirational ❤

@@FuzzBucket69 I'm certain she would have still stuck with him even if he was a janitor...NOT!!!
I don't care what anyone says. Michael J. Fox is one of the most beloved actors, bravely fighting for his life. How can anyone NOT love this guy‽ God bless you, Michael!
It makes me so indescribably happy to see Michael is doing well man. I’m an 80s baby; we grew up watching BTTF religiously and it was a bit of a heartbreaker to learn he was suffering from Parkinson’s but to see him live his life and continue to push forward is so inspiring as a permanently disabled person.
yeah it also broke my heart to see Bruce Willis suffer from dementia.. so many greats get these terrible diseases.. BUT keep your chin up just like Mr. Fox :D
We might be the best generation EVER!!! Us 80s folks had the blessing of living on one of the greatest decades EVER. I love MJF He is still one of the funniest and charming actors around!!! I would watch him in anything
Blessings and prayers 🙏❤️🕯🕊
beautiful words man!
@@northbearNL Oof, dementia vs Parkinson... Both degenerates the brain functions to horrible levels. I don't think MJF is any "luckier" than BW.
Imagining that moment, him delivering the news to his wife, and her whispering that reassurance of unwavering love and support. What a somber yet beautiful moment.
I am sure she would have done the exact same thing with a broke dude ... Oh wait, she wouldn't even be there in the first place...

@@DrNoBrazil hateful... = full of hate.
Michael is one of those rare performers who has perfect timing and perfect line readings every single time. I always laugh when I watch his stuff.
This is the best Documentary of 2023, It made me respect Michael J Fox even more now than ever, also His Prefomance as Milo Thatch in Atlantis: The Lost Empire is very underrated
He's incredibly open, honest and brave. Such a talented individual, brought down by a terrible disease but he refuses to surrender.
No, brave today is to celebrate being a woman when you have the wrong genomes.......
I don't say brought down! I say limited by! It hasn't stopped him yet!
Money helped a lot... to not surrender.
@@Stinktierchenmoney? Really? I would say it is courage, determination, strength
A star takes time to talk about himself. Oh yes, that’s so brave. Everyone’s so brave, you’re a hero these days just for getting out of bed.
In a world where the word ‘legend’ is thrown around with abandon, this guy is the real deal. A true legend and bona fide hero. Thank you for your inspiration, MJF.
💯
What is so inspiring about this man is that he is facing his illness head on, without any anger or hiding. I have so much respect for this man, he IS a legendary actor, and a even more legendary man. I myself am going through some tests, tests that may show that I could possibly have cancer. This after I was diagnosed with emphysema and heart disease. I've been sitting in fear waiting for the biopsy results from the ten ➕ polyps they found during my test. My lab work was off as well. I look at this man, who is battling an illness that has taken away a lot of his functions, yet he remains positive, he fights, and continues to battle everyday! He is truly a role model for so many people. I was born in 1967, so I grew up watching him on Family Ties, which I loved! Alex P. Keaton was such a iconic character and he portrayed him perfectly. Then of course came his Box Office Smash, Back to the Future I, II, & III. Marty McFly along with Doctor Emmitt Brown, his Mom Lorraine Baines McFly, his Dad, Marty Sr. in one full movie and a while a different actor took over the role in Back to the Future part II, he was still a integral part of the franchise. As was the "Bad Guy" Thomas F. Wilson as Biff Tannen. These three movies were just about the best all-time comedic films made. Although the whole Mom having a crush on you? Yessh! It was still one of the best movies I've ever seen. Only a few, Star Wars, and a couple of others are above them. I've started collecting the NECA Action Figures that they've made from those movies. I still need the Marty McFly figure from Back to the Future part II. Micheal J. Fox has made an impact in so many people's lives. He's entertained more people, created more laughter and joy, than 99% of the people in this world. He's ALWAYS been extremely polite, he never let any egomaniacal issues ever happen. Stories that I've heard shows Micheal J. Fox as a selfless person, always willing to help, or give some time to a fan. Tracy Pollard his wonderful wife was always right there as well. Such amazing people in an industry where some of the top people allow their egos to rule their lives. Many live hidden in gated communities, armed guards patrolling constantly, and in some cases I do understand that. The difference between those people and Micheal J. Fox is he has never "hid", and he loves the devotion of his fans. He is truly ONE OF A KIND! I HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE CAN HELP OTHERS WITH HIS ILLNESS, AND HOPEFULLY THEY CAN MAKE SOME PROGRESS IN NOT JUST MANAGING THIS ILLNESS, BUT POSSIBLY CURING IT ONE DAY SOON! God Bless him, his family, and everyone and anyone who has to live with a illness, and to their families for strength and support. Also the rest of the people who knew someone who had or has a friend who's sick. Take care of each other, and God Bless us all.
This movie is going to make us laugh and cheer and cry and hope and wish and remember and dream. For many of us, this is a childhood icon turned contemporary everyday hero. Michael J Fox is every bit the definition of legend. We will all bring tissues to the table - for the tears of laughter, the tears of joy, the tears of pain.
I normally never comment on others RUclips comments but YOUR comment was spot on and delightful. Bravo sir 👏🏼
Nothing left to say.
A true inspiration and icon.
Inspiring enough to make you spit out yet another formulaic video featuring the dialogue of someone else's dialogue (that you lifted) cut to a bunch of bullshit stock footage? So you can make money from YT royalties for other people's ideas and speeches?
I've heard bad things about so many leading men in Hollywood, but in 40 years of watching him, I've never heard anyone say a bad word about Michael. Not a co-star, a gossip rag, a rumor mill... no one.
Great dude, hope there's many more good things to come for him.
The guy was moving at 100 mph. I remember he had to shoot back to the future during free time from Family ties. He never had any time to stop and do anything bad. lol
Idle hands are the devil's playground
Obviously you haven't searched hard enough lol
except that he's for killing the unborn for "research".
He's like our Keanu❤ these two are the true essence of living and loving everyone
The poor guy got dealt such a devastatingly bad hand at such a young age. But he never let it keep him down. What an amazing guy!
i DO NOT LIKE THE WORD POOR MAN......
100%. We all know what a great actor he is, but he chose to use his remaining working years taking similar style roles that paid better for obvious reasons. The shame is that we didn't get to see him get his opportunity in darker or grittier roles.
Michael J Fox is a world-wide treasure! The sadness that surrounds his health is typical of nature not caring about who it breaks! Michael J Fox, however you know of him, his story and braveness is something to be admired..
My hats off to Michael J. & His caring wife Tracy for sticking together and fighting this awful disease together. Most hollywood couples split up at the drop of a hat within a short time span. They've been married over 30 years. Just amazing.
Man, this guy was HUGE back in the day, he was everywhere, I turned on the tv and chances were, there he was. Back to the future remains to be one of my favorite films to this day.
It’s legitimately one of the best films of all time
Same man and I found out about back to the future in like 2015 and it has become my favorite movie of all time love all the movies wish I would have found out about it sooner hopefully I know this probably won’t happen but they should make a back to the future 4 like mjf could he could be a parent or something and one of his kids could find a Time Machine or something like that 😉👍
"Roads? Where We're Going, We Don't Need Roads."
He was even in my bathroom!
Same. I even named my Son Marty 😂
Michael J Fox is a living legend. I wish we could see more of him. I think the last time I've seen him in action was on Scrubs. He's a terrific actor and an icon. Just from watching his movies and interviews you can tell he's an amazing person.
He's great in The Good Wife. Now showing
A true legend, not only in acting but In life. First time I’ve been excited about a documentary about someone in a long time
Michael J Fox is just one Reason, why the 80s were the best Decade.
No, it was the "greed is good" decade that started the mess we are in. His movies were good. The rest was Sh!t.

Even with Parkinson's you only notice it a little bit in these small clips, he's really seems like he has a grasp on it and looks to be doing well considering. He is such a grounded guy and that's part of his charm and why no one has a bad thing to say about him. I miss seeing him on the screen so I'm really looking forward to this. That whole "That's boring" line that he says speaks volumes. Long live Michael J. Fox.
Exactly. You only get a tiny glimpse in these clips with no real idea of the full extent of the pain and suffering he has gone through with this disease. Watch some of his full interviews, and you will see the toll it has taken on his body - absolutely devestating.
His cameo as a doctor with OCD in Scrubs felt like such a glimpse into a similar reality of what he struggles with.
Editing my friend
YES a MILLION times!!!
Agree, however my old man has had it for 40 years, trust me, it’s a struggle for them and it gets worse rapidly. An author who I can’t remember once wrote about the Parkinson smile, it’s legit and Fox has done well to hide it. Hope this brings more for research funds, either way this guy is a legend for putting this to film.
I saw this yesterday it was a well told story from MJF's perceptive. We all needed to know what MJF went through to become the loving star that he is. What happened when he found out about his diagnosed. Also how MJF is dealing with it today. He has been one of my most favourite movie stars, even before his classic movie BTTF. Thank you for telling your story. I'll be honest with everyone it took me about one day to gain enough strength to watch this movie. It's a very moving, funny, sad adaptation of his life. He tells the audience about his struggles, the ups and downs of his life. MJF you will always get a standing ovation from all of us for what you do. We all stand beside you always & forever. MJF always has a funny punch line no mater what is going on... Thank you.
Michael is one of the most likable actors ever. I've been a fan since the 1980's and will continue to be one til the day I die. He's an amazing guy.
Yeah, him and Patrick Swayze.
You got it, MJF in a word...."likable". Which is why the BTTF trilogy is so beloved and a favorite of many.
People from younger generations don't quite realize how popular this man was. One of the biggest stars in the world. I remember his performance in "Casualties Of War".
He was fantastic in that. Another great performance was Light of Day, with Joan Jett. He and Joan stayed best friends after they filmed that movie together, and she praised him as being one of the kindest, most patient people she had ever met.
Michael j. Fox is an amazing actor seems like a great guy and he's one hell of a warrior.
That was a fantastic film.
I think you mean younger generations. Everyone who remembers the 80s knows how huge he was
One of his best roles.
A big part of my childhood. Michael J Fox had such a hypnotizing and feelgood kind of charisma on screen. What a legend.
My Dad has Parkinsons as well. Michael has been an inspiration to him to keep fighting. I'm also so grateful to him for all the work Michael as put into the disease to help fight it. Thank you for helping keep my dad my dad for as long as he as.
@@tenyafalls8970 I am not sure if they ever figured out a true cause. I personally think it was stress and exhaustion (he was doing a lot of travel for his job at the time). Medication made his symptoms worse, though, because at first they where treating him as if he where having brain seizures.
My childhood and adulthood hero , this man is pure heart and stronger than I’ll ever be . What an inspiration.
I grew up in the 80's. He's definitely a legend and a megastar
Im a 90s baby but i feel the same. I love him so much ❤ he is a G
I watched the trailer holding back from crying. Fox is one of my favorite actors of all time, and it's really cool that he's also an example of perseverance. Much love and respect for this guy.
I didn't hold back on anything.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Amen 🙏
My mom has had Parkinsons since i was 11, and its really a horrible thing to witness. Seing a person you love slowly being taken from you is hard to cope with, but the only thing we can do is try accept it and enjoy the time we have. For my mother, its sadly reaching the later stages, she cannot do much by herself and the dementia is getting quite bad. Most people i meet still think about Parkinsons as just being tremors, but i hope more brave people like Micheal J. Fox can help spread the word, and i thank him for his efforts.
Another actor that most people love and respect. Such a strong and humble person. I take my hat off.
About freakin' time I say! That's one story that deserves to be told. I remember when we heard the news. We were all devasted for him. He was (and still is) so loved, it's incredible. I am glad he keeps living a full life, and growing, and found a way to stay in this business. I wish him every happiness.
This is incredibly self serving and ego driven, and nothing more. Here's a guy who's gotten such great medical care for his illness and has lived so long as a result of that care that he has the luxury of filming a movie about how long he's been able to live. There's no story here.
Truth
@@danielm4114
Do you know anything about him? He established charities and research to help people around the globe with his illness. He has done more good for the world than you ever will.
Yeah, it was extremely unfortunate and sad news, and in a similar but I suppose more extreme way I'm reminded of Tim Curry, poor fellow and the stroke that disabled him. Saw him talking to fans in a livestream of sorts who all showered him with love and praise, yet he seemed to still look quite sad and defeated. Allegedly he was offered the part of the wheelchair man in Silence of the Lambs but passed up the offer so it instead went to... I can't remember his name but I think he's the guy who plays Commissioner Gordon in the Christopher Nolan Batman series. Pretty sure he also played Dracula in that '90s black-and-white film, I think starring Keanu Reeves? Gary Oldman! Yeah he got the role of the guy in a wheelchair with no face. "Seemed like a good idea at the time."
I think it'd be nice to hear Tim Curry's story too... however it kinda seems like his disability broke him more than Parkinsons had for Micheal J. Fox. Very sad, but it uplifts me to hear that Fox is still active and even working on a new movie! Power to him! And I hope Curry finds strength.
@@RileyWritey I'm just saying who really cares about a guy who has enough money to live comfortably despite a terminal illness? My heart doesn't break for someone with the means to manage their illness. I feel worse for the people dying anonymously from something like Parkinson's without proper management and treatment. This is just self aggrandizing celebrity bullshit.
One of the most charismatic people to ever live. MJF was born to be a movie star. It’s so great having a biography of someone who is still alive and can sign off on it.
I love him so much!!! He’s always been an amazing human! About time they did something amazing for him!
Michael ! Thank You for your contribution to our lives !
He is such an amazing human. We've had the opportunity to work with him on several occasions when we provided the Time Machine, and he is simply inspiring. He doesn't make excuses, he just kicks ass and keeps on keeping on. Can't wait to watch this!
Have you met the couple who drive around in a DeLorean that looks just like the one in the movies? I met them years ago in Chicago, I believe they were raising money, maybe for Parkinson's. Maybe you have a connection to them.

@@spartanalphamode2987 I'm almost certain it was a replica - a real Delorean, but not one from the film, but it was modified to look like the time machine itself. I have pictures somewhere in my Google Photos, I'll have to go look for them, it was sometime between in the late 2000's.
the "Yeah thats boring" got meeeeeee
Absolutely my favorite response. I need that kind of energy in my own life where I keep letting so many personal battles overcome me.

Micheal is a inspiration to all, he shows what you can do when faced with a disease that wants to take you down.
Even if he wasn't famous, I know this man would've made the best out his life. He is the type of person I wish I was, and I don't mean in accomplishments. I mean in his outlook, kindness, humbleness, and humor.

The only thing great about him having Parkinson's is the light he has shone on the disease and the money for research that light has brought. Bad things happen to good people but he's so damned good that he isn't letting it be all bad. I love this man so much!♥️ Always have, always will!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❣️
Once a fan, always a fan! We're never going away. Write, direct, act , whatever you want to do, it will be great!
As a child of the 80s and 90s, Michael J Fox was a staple in my life almost like Happy Meals or Arcades at the mall. He's a National Treasure. BTTF is what he's most famous for but he killed in everything he was involved in. I don't know him personally but I get the vibe that he's genuinely "good". I'm a grown man now with a family of my own and to see him persevere through his disease is admirable and aspirational. I believe there is an unhealthy level of fandom and expectation we put on celebrities' but MJF strikes me as a celebrity worthy of the adoration he receives. Looking forward to checking this out!
Agreed!
Well said.
As a fellow Burnaby boy, Michael is one of my all time heroes long before the Parkinson's diagnosis. But then he became even more of a hero. His Mom was very kind and generous. Way to go Mike Fox from Burnaby, British Columbia! You`ve done us so very proud!
🇨🇦❤️
What a privilege to be able to follow the trajectory of this disease through Michael 's story! Definitely want to watch this. His way of coping with Parkinson's over the years shows that he is a legend.
The resilience of MJF is to be commended and admired. Amazing talented man.

Loved Family Ties.
What an awesome movie. MJF and his wife Tracy are one of a kind. I loved the movie Mikey by the way Michael. I loved all your movies. This story is told so well!!!!!
One of my fave actors. It's heartbreaking to see him going through this and yet so uplifting that he continues to smile. I admire that
He's a class act. I'm relatively certain that he wants his message to be one of hope and resilience, not of heartbreak. When life knocks you down, and it will, get back up.
You could not even spell the entire word of Favorite? Lazy on a whole other level.
@@jm7804 Oh totally agree.
After Val Kilmer's movie... I don't know if I have the strength for this one (though I know I have to).
My sister died with Parkinson's. She was a very funny and intelligent person. The lucky part with MJF is that we grew up with him and knew him as the funny and talented person he IS. It's hard to see others treat someone as less when you know who they are. The mask like face and the weakening voice (My sister was a singer) is not who they are. I love that he has made this movie.

Last of the Legendary era of pure time actors and movie rolls. I loved everything MJF and will always!!!
I can't wait to see this! All kids that grew up in the 80's wanted to be MJF. He's still an amazing force of inspiration and entertainment to me as an adult.
You wanted to be Maxwell Jacob Friedman? Well who can blame you. :P
I'm 40 and I still want to be him! He's such an amazing human and as someone in the comments section here pointed out, you never hear anything bad about him. Tell me who else can say that in Hollywood there isn't many. And he grew up close to where I live, I drive by the Michael J. Fox theatre quite often.
He was blessed with so much: A long-lasting supportive marriage, a loving family, an incredibly successful career, charisma to burn, and a sensible head on his shoulders. It's such a shame that he's had to suffer with Parkinson's for so long. Such a horrible disease for anyone to have to endure. EDIT: Hey folks, I can totally see how it looked like I was talking as if Michael's gone. But I meant 'was' in the sense that some people are blessed with certain gifts when they're born. For example, I can say that my mother was blessed with beauty, kindness and musical talent, but she's still very much alive! Have a great day!
He is blessed. Was? He's not even dead yet Deborah.
I'm 31 and I don't (think I) have Parkinson's and I'm telling you judging from everything he's been sharing the past 3 months he's 10x more alive than I am right now. Listen to him. Present tense sister. Presence, tense.

After all of the things that Michael has been through in his life, he remains very positive, uplifting, inspiring, and cheerful.
God Bless Him and his family 💙
As a 90's kid, Michael J. Fox was a part of my childhood. I would copy his lines, "Nobody calls me-" in elementary school! My dad played in a band, and one night he let me pick the Mandolin after one of his shows, anyway I got on stage and started acting like Marty McFly! I was sliding on my back, pretending I was playing, my dad said, "Get off that stage boy!!" Good times, and I wish the best for Michael. 🙏
I don't even know how many times I've watched 'Back to the Future'. It was my favorite movie growing up. It is the perfect story and so well done.
I absolutely love this man. He's the epitome of a real mensch, and he's handled what life has thrown him with incredible grace, dignity, and even humor. In my eyes he's truly a hero. I've also heard from multiple sources who have gotten to know him personally that he''s as kind, warm, down to earth, and genuine as can be.
You only know him anecdotally, not personally.

My childhood. I love this man, what a legend
Michael J Fox is without a doubt one of the good guys. So humbled by his talent, strength and character. Looking forward to watch this knowing there will be tears.
As a child of the best decade in human history (80's), I can only send you much love and gratitude for the wonderful time you gave us through you acting. We love, Michael.
He is and always will be a legend, in film and real life!
Absolutely he is a legend in real life.
This man is truly a Canadian legend who was an enormous part of the 80's and mine and my brothers childhood. So proud of him. ❤
My whole childhood! A real legend MJF!
I remember working in the Paramount Studios mail room in the late-80's when he was at his peak of stardom and feeling really envious of everything he had. Later, I thought how childish and selfish I was. The best we can do is recognize everything we do have and be eternally grateful for those things. Health, most importantly.
Just off the trailer alone; I hope this film gets nominated for every award it can get; including film festivals… and then win everything! It looks incredible! ❤
I watched this last night and it was so well done! I definitely identified with Michael in some ways since I have several neurological issues. I really sympathized with him when I saw his tremors because I also have a tremor (not nearly as bad obviously) and I know exactly what it's like to try to do something with your hands and you just can't get them to do what you want them to do. Anyway, definitely recommend this one!
Love him!!! So sad that he got that dreadful condition at such a young age. So blessed to have Tracy - pure love! Loved him in "Family Ties" - I watched that show every evening it was on. I'm happy to see him again.
I can't wait to watch this. He is a living legend, both for his on screen performances and how he handles life offscreen. I'd highly recommend reading his autobiographies which provide a deeper insight into his personal life, family and how he lives with Parkinson's.
Loving it! This documentary looks like it says to never give up. Sending love to Michael J. Fox and his family. This movie looks inspiring.
Now this is a person worthy of a documentary film, what a legend.
Love this guy, both my siblings were diagnosed with HD not long after Michael came out about Parkinson’s. Like Parkinson’s, noticeable signs are the hand twitching. They both passed now from the disease and it blows me away Michael is still going strong!!
He was my first love, had posters of him in my bedroom, as a teenager. I truly admire what he is doing, still, with this disease. I can watch Back to the future 2000 more times, and will never get old. God bless him, as his family. Legend.
