In the movie Back to the Future, starring Emmett “Doc” Brown and Marty McFly, Michael J. Fox, then 24 years old, rose to stardom as Marty McFly.
Unfortunately, even with a cane and a friend’s assistance, the actor is already having difficulty walking. He has reached the age of 60. What caused this? For more than 30 years, Michael J. Fox has struggled with Parkinson’s disease.He won’t give up his social life, even though he is appearing in public less and less.

Last but not least, for his depiction of lawyer Louis Canning on “The Good Wife,” for which he received Emmy nominations in 2013, 2015, and 2016 respectively.

The actor still holds out cautious optimism that a cure for his illness will be found within his lifetime, despite the fact that his charity, the Michael J. Fox foundation, has already donated $767 million to medical research in less than 20 years.
“I am open and honest with them when it comes to counseling. I constantly reply, “I’m 60 years old, and science is difficult,” when people ask me if I believe there will be a cure for Parkinson’s disease in my lifetime. Fox thus acknowledged his culpability.
Despite this, he asserts that he is a happy individual: “My attitude about life is often good. I don’t think about death or have any morbid fears. No, the well-known person replied.
