Michael J. Fox has spent much of his career defying expectations, especially

after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at just 29.

To me, he’s of the most courageous people on earth.

But recently, she opened up about some deeply personal challenges.

“I wake up and get the message..”
Sometimes I feel a pang of sadness thinking about Michael J. Fox and all

the incredible films we’ll never get to see because of what he’s gone through.

It’s tough watching actors we grew up with — whose careers were

built on their expressiveness — lose that ability. But Michael still shines.

He still has that charm, that humor, and he still makes us smile.

Now 64, the Back to the Future star continues to embody

the determination and humor that made him a household name,

though he recently opened up about some deeply personal challenges.

In recent years,

Fox has co-written a new memoir, Future Boy,

reflecting on the film that launched his career

He’s also appeared on Apple TV’s Shrinking alongside Harrison Ford and has remained a tireless advocate for Parkinson’s research through the Michael J. Fox Foundation,

which has raised more than $2 billion so far. E

Earlier this year, he was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his contributions to advancing understanding of the disease.
