My grandmother died of Parkinson's 4 years ago. To see the decline in someone's health and struggle to even eat or talk is heartbreaking. Thank goodness to people like Michael who continue to strive and fight this disease.

Great interview. Love him. My mom suffers from Parkinson’s and is in a research program in Cincinnati. His foundation has blessed us with Liftware which she would be unable to afford on her own. What an inspiration.

What a great man. Loved this interview. Love the fact that he didn’t hide after he made it public. This is real life, his reality and he’s so humble and kind. His wife is his hero. What a great love story. This man is a treasure.

My grandfather suffered from Parkinson’s and took his own life. I admire Michael for being so real and doing something constructive and thinking about his family. He really is inspiring ❤

My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's in the 80's when the modern medicine was no where near as advanced as it is now. And even then, nobody has figured out what caused dopamine to stop in the body to cause the disease. My dad suffered though two decades before succumbing to it (thanks to his heart) in 2000. Michael continues to fight and figuring out a cure for Parkinson's not just for him....but for future generations that may get the disease. He also lives life to the fullest.

Something I'm surprised wasn't covered but I've heard Fox mention in other interviews is that he's very aware that he has resources available to him that the vast majority of disabled people don't. So if even he sometimes needs to say, "I'm out of the lemonade business, this just sucks," imagine what it's like for others. We often place a huge added burden on disabled people by expecting them to be "inspirational" all the time when it's difficult enough for them just to cope. Bless him for having the honesty to talk about that. He's such a lovely human being.

Love him!! He is an incredible person first, and also an amazing actor. His contributions to Parkinson’s Research through his Foundation cant be overstated.

He is 6o now, but we had a privilege to watch him develop from ‘Family Ties’ series through the ‘Back to Future’ trilogy franchise, ‘Teen Wolf’, and ‘Doc Hollywood’, ‘Secret of My Success’, ‘Stuart Little’ trilogy, ‘Casualties of War’, ‘Bright Lights, Big City’, ‘Spin City’ series.

With Michael J it seems almost like no matter what character he was playing, whatever movie or show... he was always "himself". There was no denying it was him, and the same hold true today. Great to see that he's happy and living as normally as anyone else What also blows my mind is if you see photos and video of Corey Feldman as of lately. I swear, he has not aged a day since the end of the 80s / early 90s. Impressive isn't even the word. But whenever I see Corey today, it's like bring instantly taken back in time. He's doing very well from what I've seen

It’s impossible to not love this man. I’ve loved everything he’s ever done. Acting & writing. He’s an inspiration to everyone! ❤. He has such a lovely family. I pray only the best for them all!💫✨

I absolutely love Michael J. Fox! I never missed an episode of “Families Ties” and certainly didn’t miss “ Back to the Future”! The 80’s were the best, and Michael J Fox was part of the reason! He was and has always been such a stand up guy!

I remember when he announced his diagnosis. I remember where I was. I am a big fan of MJF. His strength is massive.

Such a wonderful man...can never understand what he's going through. The fact he keeps going is a testament to his strength.

I love how he was watching his own movie and actually love seeing his own work and think it's good. You hear so many actors say "oh I don't like to watch myself" and it feels good to see MJF have a positive look on his career by actually watching it

I grew up watching this man at the start of his career. A very young girl, I felt so much from every character I ever watched. It broke my heart to hear how hard he tried to hide Parkinson’s instead of embracing it at first. I am so happy of this wonderful human being not only embracing it but devoting so much of his life to research and helping to someday find a cure. I’m so proud to be an 80s kid and grow WITH him! He’s so positive, honest and a sharp soul. Love you so much!

The enduring love and steadfast support of a faithful wife and family members sustained him throughout his life.

I think Michael is so inspiring. I admire his optimistic and altruistic way of thinking and doing. He could have cocky ways, but that's just surface, he's golden inside.

All that life has thrown at him, and he is still positive, just shows what an inspiration he truly is.

the interviewer was awesome, you can tell he is a good dude. hopefully the industry doesn't ruin him.

His Grandmother was from Belfast. She emigrated to Canada back in the 30s/40s. She always said that he would go on to do great things. The DeLorean Car was built in Belfast and considered the worst car ever made until the Back to the Future films which turned the DeLorean into the greatest film Car of all time.

He's an awesome human being. He didn't deserve this, but he has handled it like a champ. I don't think I could face it all so well. The fact that he accepted the reality of it and decided to put money and time toward research to try to help/prevent this from happening to others just shows he's a different type of person. He's great.

Like all of you, I admire this man. I watched my Mom for 9 years slowly die of this disease in 2004. It takes away your dignity. You have to find a way with courage to get up everyday and live with this. My Mom did it and Michael has done it for 30 years. It has taught me to be thankful for the health I do have. Because it could be worse.

I love Michael J Fox. I was a huge fan of him when I was a kid, and I still look at his with a lot of respect and love.

Incredible human being we should all take a note from Michael.

You're such a beautiful person, hate that you or anyone has to go through such a devastating illness. We love you!

He is so amazing - i have so many patients who just give up and he did it right and used it to change him and his values for the better.

Love Michael J. Fox and his story. Also major shout out to Nate for a great interview and the great words he shared with Mike.

Very short amount of time with him but I will always remember it as one of the best experiences of my life. Keep dreaming because dreams do come true! Strength and love for Michael, keep fighting, we are all with you.

I love him! I grew up watching Family Ties and loved Back to the Future... he has always been awesome! The courage it takes to live his life out loud, beautiful. I love that he said that it sucks sometimes and he’s tired of “making lemonade”. I’m a licensed therapist and this belief that we must be “positive” all the time is not helpful. Sometimes life is what it is and admitting that it’s challenging, tough, sad is okay! So proud of him! 💛☀️

He will forever be a great part of my childhood memory.
