FAQs
The retired actor, 63, has been a devoted Parkinson's disease activist since he was diagnosed with the long-term neurodegenerative disease at age 29. Fox, who now uses a wheelchair, played a guitar in his lap during “Humankind” and “Fix You.”
He went public with his condition in 1998, the same year he underwent a thalamotomy, which relieved some of his tremors. Thalamotomy—a brain surgery in which a small lesion is made in the thalamus—can be an effective treatment for some people with PD, according to Jason M.
Fox did not have Parkinson's during Back to the Future simply because he first noticed symptoms 168 days after the 1990 premiere of Back to the Future III, the last of the trilogy.
Fox Says He's Open to Returning to Acting Despite Retirement. The actor previously revealed he was moving on from acting in 2020 amid his decades-long battle with Parkinson's disease.
Michael J. Fox suffers from Parkinson's disease. He was originally diagnosed back in 1991 during the production of Doc Hollywood after his little finger began to twitch (via BBC News). According to a 2020 interview Fox gave to The Guardian, the early symptoms also included a sore shoulder.
