For more than 30 years, Michael J. Fox has bravely confronted the ongoing challenges of Parkinson’s disease — and while the struggle continues, so does his unwavering determination.
Diagnosed in the early 1990s, the beloved actor has since retired but remains a powerful voice for Parkinson’s awareness and research. His journey has inspired millions, turning him into a symbol of perseverance.
Recently, the Back to the Future star opened up about his condition, revealing that his health is gradually declining and that he doesn’t expect to live into his 80s.
Now 61, Fox has long maintained a hopeful outlook, but he’s never shied away from speaking honestly about the toll the disease has taken on his life.
In a heartfelt interview with CBS Sunday Morning’s Jane Pauley, he admitted that the battle is getting tougher with time.
“I’m not going to lie — it’s getting harder each day,” he said, reflecting the raw reality of life with Parkinson’s.
Despite the mounting challenges, Fox continues to face each day with courage, honesty, and remarkable resilience.
