Michael J. Fox, a Parkinson’s patient, remarked that his numerous shattered bones made the previous year a “struggle.”

The famous Hollywood figure also spoke about how losing his mother affected him, but he insisted that he is still optimistic.

The 61-year-old Back to the Future actor has raised money and awareness for the illness’s research since receiving his 1991 diagnosis.

In a recent interview with People magazine, Fox talked about how over the previous year, his health issues “worsened” and how his recovery is going.

He told the American source, “I cracked my cheek, then my hand, then my shoulder, had a replacement shoulder put in, shattered my (right) arm, then I broke my elbow.”

I’m 61 years old, and I’m feeling it a little bit more, he continued.

According to the NHS website, Parkinson’s disease is a condition in which some brain regions gradually deteriorate over an extended period of time.

Tremors, sluggish movement, and tight, inflexible muscles are the three basic signs of the disorder. Tremors are the involuntary trembling of particular physical organs.

Fox’s movement is impacted by the illness, but many people who know him don’t believe this necessarily means the sickness is advancing more quickly.

I was never truly a depressed man, but I was very rude and short with people, the actor revealed. The various diseases had altered my usually upbeat viewpoint.

I try to stop it before it even starts. The assistants of my coworkers are always in view of me.

And I frequently urge them to imagine that I always start my sentences with ‘please,’ and end them with ‘thank you. Just a moment to realize that I might have said it if I were more sincere, for which I apologize.

After quitting performing in 2020, the former actor claimed that he is now “coming through” as the last of his scars are healing.

I’m just getting back to my regular walking pace. I like going for solitary walks. It is. It’s amazing,” he continued.

By utilizing a walker, wheelchair, cane, or “a man with a belt around my waist hanging onto it,” he is trying to avoid falling over at this stage.

This objective was accomplished earlier this month when he made an on-stage appearance alongside his 84-year-old Back to the Future co-star Christopher Lloyd at New York Comic-Con in front of a cheering crowd of fans.

The late Phyllis Fox, who passed away in September at the age of 92, was also mentioned by Fox.

She was “wonderful,” he said, adding that he now understood how strong she had been in caring for Fox and his four siblings while his father, William, was in the Canadian military.

“After this difficult time, I’m happy,” he concluded. It’s hard, but I’m moving on.

“I say it because I think everyone can find some level of happiness no matter what their circumstances are,”

The former actor later married actress Tracy Pollan, with whom he had four children. They always “assumed the best” about one another, despite the fact that they had to learn to modify their marriage to match his illness, according to him.

According to People magazine, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, which Fox established in 2000, has raised more than $1.5 billion for research funding.

At the Governors Awards on November 19, he will be presented with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, an honorary Oscar honoring exceptional humanitarian accomplishments.

The following year, a documentary on him and his “different viewpoints on my life” will be released as a result of his collaboration with Apple+.
