In his 20s, Michael J. Fox gained immense popularity as an actor, eventually attaining teen idol status due to his role in a highly successful TV series.
Regrettably, during his early 30s, Michael J. Fox received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, which resulted in a challenging year marked by depression and alcoholism.
However, since that time, the actor, now retired, has dedicated himself to inner growth and striving for a joyful existence.
Additionally, he has emerged as a passionate activist, with his foundation actively supporting and promoting various avenues of research aimed at finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
In his personal life, Fox takes immense pride in his family. He deeply cherishes his wife, who has been his steadfast companion since the late 1980s, as well as his four supportive children who are always there for him.
During a recent event at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City, Michael J. Fox was bestowed with a lifetime achievement award. In a heartwarming moment, his twin daughters joined him on the red carpet, making a rare appearance alongside their proud father.
