Michael J. Fox,Back To The Future,Parkinson's Disease

Michael J. Fox, known for his role in 'Back to the Future,' has stated that he would consider returning to acting if the right role takes into account his Parkinson's Disease. Despite stepping away from performing in 2020 due to his health, Fox expressed his willingness to act again if a role allows him to incorporate his challenges and realities.

The “Back to the Future” star announced back in 2020 that he was stepping away from performing for good because of the deterioration of his health.

“I would do acting if something came up that I could put my realities into it, my challenges, if I could figure it out.” He was joined by a host of country music stars, including Sheryl Crow, Little Big Town and Jason Isbell, for “A Country Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s” in Nashville, Tennessee that night.

He told Smith he was “surprised” and “appreciated” the response, though he insisted that the work his foundation does “is not about me.”He said his illness has given him “perspective” on life, adding: “It’s a gift that keeps on taking but it’s a gift. Everything it takes, it leaves me something and it gives me something and I learn something.”
