Michael J. Fox became one of Hollywood’s heartthrobs in the ’80s and ’90s, rising to fame with his iconic roles in Family Ties and the Back to the Future film trilogy. Everything contributed to his devoted fan following, from his remarkable performances to his off-screen personality. Despite how much public attention he garnered at the time, he has remained tight-lipped about his personal life, which is why his battle with Parkinson’s Disease came as a complete shock to his fans.

Michael J. Fox Would Love To Return To Acting To Portray His “Challenges”

It’s possible Michael J. Fox’s run as an actor is not yet over, not when the right story could come to him in the right circumstances.

The “Back to the Future” star opened up about what could drag him out of his retirement in an April 5 interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“I would do acting if something came up that I could put my realities into it, my challenges,” he said, adding, “if I could figure it out.”

The star did reveal that his greatest win in life is having to have shared his life with...

Michael J. Fox was a heartthrob back in the ’80s and ’90s thanks to his many memorable roles in the Back To The Future series, Teen Wolf, The Hard Way, Life with Mikey, and more. The actor’s memorable performances and down-to-earth personality earned him a huge fan following.

Hence, many hearts across the world were broken when he revealed his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 1998. However, the actor had been secretly fighting the progressive degenerative disorder for seven years at that point. Despite his disease, the actor appeared in many hit projects throughout the 2000s and 2010s. He was a regular in the CBS drama series The Good Wife which aired from 2010 to 2016.

However, in 2020, the star announced his retirement from onscreen work. The decision came due to Parkinson’s impacting his ability to memorize and remember lines. Now, four years later, he is willing to return to acting under one sole condition.

Michael J. Fox stepped back from acting in 2020, but the actor has now said he would consider returning to the big screen if the circumstances were right. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at age 29 in 1991, told Entertainment Tonight that he was open to the idea.

“If someone offers me a part and I do it and I have a good time, great,” Fox said. “I would do acting if something came up that I could put my realities into it, my challenges, if I could figure it out.

Michael J. Fox says he’d consider acting again.

Despite stepping away from acting in 2020, Fox – diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at age 29 in 1991 – now says he would consider performing again.

“If someone offers me a part and I do it and I have a good time, great,” Fox said in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight. “I would do acting if something came up that I could put my realities into it, my challenges, if I could figure it out.”

Fox, the Back to the Future and Spin City star, was speaking to the media prior to a charity event for his Michael J. Fox Foundation.

“My goals are always shifting. My biggest goal, I think, was to raise a family. We have four amazing kids, and that’s been the big thing,” said Fox, who has been married to his Family Ties costar Tracy Pollan since 1988. “And then...

Michael J. Fox may have announced his retirement from acting, but he shared he’s still open to returning to the screen for the right opportunity.

The Back to the Future actor recently told Entertainment Tonight that after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at age 29 in 1991, his goals in life pivoted from his career to his family. He didn’t publicly disclose his diagnosis until 1998.

“My biggest goal, I think, was to raise a family. We have four amazing kids, and that’s been the big thing,” Fox said, referencing his children, whom he shares with his wife Tracy Pollan. “And then the other is with the [Michael J. Fox] foundation.”

Fox revealed in 2020 that he was retiring from doing onscreen work after having been open about his struggles with his memory and remembering lines of dialogue.

However, he told Et that he isn’t completely against taking on another acting...

Los Angeles, Nov 10 (Ians) ‘Back to the Future’ actor Michael J. Fox would’ve “forgiven” his wife if she’d chosen to leave him after his Parkinson’s diagnosis.

The 62-year-old actor tied the knot with Tracy Pollan in 1988 but was diagnosed with the brain disorder – which causes uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination – just three years later and admitted that even though she is one who “got him through it,” he would have understood if she had chosen to walk away, reports Female First UK.

Speaking on ‘CBS Mornings’, he said: “It’s been great for me, I don’t know how it is for her. I love Tracy obviously and she’s an amazing person and has gone through a lot. I realize she has a life separate from me having Parkinson’s, from me being Alex Keaton or Marty McFly, she’s a person.

Michael J. Fox, who’s lived with Parkinson’s disease for more than 30 years, told CBS News that he’s always dealing with depression. But, he noted, he still finds ways to stay positive.

The “Back to the Future” and “Family Ties” actor was asked by “CBS Mornings” cohost Nate Burleson if he ever has moments where he battles depression or uncertainty.

“Yesterday at 3:57 in the afternoon,” Fox, 62, darkly quipped. “I mean, always.”

Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disorder that affects both movement and speech. Fox was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991 at 29 years old. There is no cure.

“The positivity is really sincere. I really feel it, and it’s genuine” Fox said. “But it’s hard-fought, and it’s hard won, I should say. This fear, we can find ways to just give ourselves a break, give ourselves credit for getting through life, on life’s terms.

Hollywood actor Michael J Fox who is best known for his role in the iconic 1980’s ‘Back To The Future’ films has spoken about the plethora of misfortunes that he’s had to undergo. He revealed that he almost lost his hand due to an infection.

Fox, 62, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991 at age 29 and has been living with it since then. During this time, he smashed his orbital bone and almost lost his hand after it became infected. Apart from his broken arm, the actor revealed that he also broke his shoulder, and cheek in recent years.

“My hand got infected and then I almost lost it,” Fox told the Town & Country magazine, in an interview on November 3 night. “It was a tsunami of misfortune”, he added according to the Daily Mirror.

In a recent interview with Town & Country, Michael said that he “does not fear death.”

He continued, “One day I’ll run out of gas. One day I’ll just say, ‘It’s not going to happen. I’m not going out today.’ If that comes, I’ll allow myself that. I’m 62 years old.”

Although Michael isn’t afraid of dying, he revealed that “anything that would put my family in jeopardy” is what actually scares him.

Michael and his wife Tracy Pollan have four children: Sam, Aquinnah, Schuyler and Esme.

Back in April, Michael J. Fox addressed how he grapples with his mortality.

Actor and philanthropist Michael J. Fox won this year’s Elevate Prize Catalyst Award, which the “Back to the Future” star plans to use to further his foundation’s work to find treatments for Parkinson’s disease.

Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at the age of 29 in 1991, received the award at the Clinton Global Initiative, or CGI, conference on Tuesday in New York. The annual prize, which went to Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai last year, includes $250,000 from the Elevate Prize Foundation and support to amplify the winner’s messaging.

Oscar winner Davis Guggenheim is no stranger to bold-faced names, having worked with the likes of Al Gore, Barack Obama and Malala Yousafzai. But some three years ago, he found himself, as he says, “stuck.”

“I wanted to do something different. I wanted to find joy in my work. I wanted to experiment and take some big risks,” says Guggenheim. At the time, he was reading Michael J. Fox’s autobiography, No Time Like the Future, and a light bulb went off. “I said, ‘Wow, this could be a wild ride.’ That was one of the first things I jotted in the margins of the book: ‘This could be a wild ride.’ “

Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, released via Apple TV+, is the story of Fox’s life and career told through the lens of the Back to the Future actor’s diagnosis and continued maintenance of his Parkinson’s disease.

This story about “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie” first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Comedy/Variety/Reality/Nonfiction issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.

The last time Davis Guggenheim interviewed Michael J. Fox for the documentary “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie,” it came at the end of a three-year period in which the filmmaker of “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Waiting for ‘Superman’” had spent time with the actor as he reflected on his life and battled Parkinson’s disease. He left Fox’s home exhausted by the lengthy interview — “interviews are super intense and I’m hyper-focused” — but also feeling as if he’d really gotten to know the 62-year-old actor who’d become a star in his 20s with “Family Ties” and “Back to the Future.”

It was a beautiful spring day, so Guggenheim decided to walk back to his hotel, which was two miles away.

Michael J. Fox was honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Museum of the Moving Image’s Spring Moving Image Awards on Tuesday, where Martin Scorsese spoke about the personal impact that Fox’s Parkinson’s advocacy has had on his own life.

Looking back on the actor’s career, saying he was “stunned by the energy and force of his presence” when bursting onto the scene in the ’80s, Scorsese noted at the New York event that, “Michael was a powerhouse; he was made for movies.”

“Now if you look at Michael’s filmography, pay attention to the amount of work he’s done since his Parkinson’s diagnosis,” the director continued, pointing out collaborations with Tim Burton, Woody Allen and Peter Jackson. “And along the way, Michael not only started his foundation, which has raised so much money for research and raised just as much awareness, but...

By his side, posing together on the red carpet, were his wife, Tracy Pollan, and their twin daughters, Schuyler and Aquinnah.

In a statement announcing the award last month, the Museum of the Moving Image co-chairmen Ivan Lustig and Michael Barker said, “We are honored to present the MoMI Lifetime Achievement Award to the legendary Michael J. Fox, a great artist and inspiring human being, at our Spring 2023 Moving Image Awards benefit event.”

They added, “His many contributions in film and television for over four decades have been memorable and meaningful and exemplary for so many who come through our Museum’s doors.

Michael J. Fox received the lifetime achievement award at the 2023 Moving Image Awards in New York City on June 6, and the occasion was a family affair for the Hollywood icon. Michael's wife, Tracy Pollan, and their twin daughters, Aquinnah and Schuyler Fox, were in attendance to watch Michael take home his award. They all supported him on the red carpet in a beautiful family moment.

The Moving Image Awards honor "the most renowned and acclaimed actors and artists of our time," according to the ceremony's website, and Michael is a worthy recipient. He's a cinematic staple, having hit it big with his lead role in the hit '80s sitcom "Family Ties" and then even bigger as Marty McFly in the Back to the Future franchise.

During a Back to the Future panel in Philadelphia, Michael J. Fox fell while walking on the stage. After his name was announced he got onto the stage and bowed to his fellow cast members, Christopher Lloyd and Tom Wilson. While he walked over to his seat he tripped and fell onto the couch in front of him. Luckily, he was not injured and was able to continue the panel.

The three actors sat together and answered fans’ questions about the movies.

In the film franchise, Fox plays Marty McFly and wore Nike sneakers, black jeans, a white t-shirt, a jean jacket and a black baseball cap.

Lloyd, who plays Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown, wore blue jeans, a black sweatshirt and a black puffer vest on top.

Wilson, who plays Biff Tannen, wore jeans and a blue blazer.

The fall was mainly due to his struggle with Parkinson’s disease,...

When Oscar-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) asked Michael J. Fox if he would collaborate on a documentary about life before and after his 1991 Parkinson’s diagnosis, Fox agreed—on one condition. “No violins,” said the actor and activist. As he put it in this intimate and insightful film, “I’m a tough son of a bitch.” The major part of Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie is the frank interviews with the actor, whose boyish, cheeky presence graced beloved 1980s and ’90s TV series (Family Ties and Spin City) and blockbuster movies including the Back to the Future trilogy. Meanwhile, he hid his 1991 diagnosis until a dramatic 1998 reveal. Guggenheim fills out the story with home movies from Fox’s upbringing, family scenes with wife Tracy Pollan and their four children and Fox’s grueling physical therapy workouts. The film also uses clips from Fox’s career that show his evolving state of mind,...

It's common knowledge among "Back to the Future" fans that Michael J. Fox very nearly didn't play Marty McFly. Before Fox donned Marty's legendary life preserver and aviator-styled sunglasses ('80s fashion was wild), Eric Stoltz was infamously cast as the accidental teen time-traveler in Robert Zemeckis' classic 1985 sci-fi flick. I say "infamously" because Stoltz was dropped from the movie in the early part of filming, by which point it had become obvious that he just wasn't right for the role. Most importantly, Stoltz and Christopher Lloyd didn't have the chemistry to sell Marty's (strangely believable) friendship with Lloyd's lovably oddball inventor, Emmett "Doc" Brown.

Speaking to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for its "Back to the Future" oral history in 2015, Zemeckis confirmed that Fox was the "first choice" to play Marty. However, concerns about his filming schedule on the sitcom "Family Ties" (which aired on NBC from 1982 to 1989) led to Stoltz being cast instead.

On May 12, 2023, Apple TV+ released “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie,” which follows the life of the beloved actor and advocate, exploring his personal and professional triumphs and travails, and what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease. The documentary is directed by Oscar winner Davis Guggenheim (“An Inconvenient Truth”) and features scenes from the actor’s iconic Hollywood career and an eye-opening (and often-times humorous) interview with the film’s subject.

Holding fresh at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, the critics’ consensus reads, “Poignant and profound, ‘Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie’ offers a captivating inside look at the life and career of a beloved entertainer.” Other individuals featured in the documentary include Fox’s wife Tracy Pollan, Andrew Barber, Danny Irizarry and Hannah Galway.

Plot: An in-depth look at Michael J. Fox’s career and how, many years after his diagnosis with Parkinson’s, he manages the worsening symptoms of the disease.

Review: For those of us who came up in the eighties, Michael J. Fox was right up there with Tom Cruise in that he was the movie star many of us looked up to as the cool older brother we always wanted. Nowadays, people may not realize just how big he was, with him starring in not only the biggest show on TV (Family Ties) but also headlining a slew of movies that were box office juggernauts. Sure, people know that Back to the Future was a phenomenon, but Teen Wolf also made a boatload of cash, and The Secret of My Success was one of the highest-grossing comedies of the eighties. At the time, there was no bigger star.

Of course,...

Michael J. Fox is giving his wife all the credit.

Sitting down with Et Canada’s Morgan Hoffman to talk about the new documentary “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie”, the Canadian actor opened up about how his wife, Tracy Pollan, keeps him grounded.

In the film, Pollan is frequently making Fox laugh, which is a huge part of their relationship.

“Tracy is so good, so well-timed, that everything I’ve done to that point in the movie is garbage,” said Fox.

Asked why it was so important to feature Pollan heavily in the documentary, Fox explained matter-of-factly, “It’s my story. You can’t tell my story without her,” adding that she has been there with him through his toughest moments, including dealing with his Parkinson’s disease.

Fox said that he...

Michael J. Fox has been through hell, and not in the way you’re thinking.

In the last few years, his mother died, his father-in-law died, and he had to put his beloved dog, Gus, a 120-pound mutt, to sleep after more than a decade of loyal companionship. And then there was an almost biblical series of health challenges, many of them indirectly related to his Parkinson’s disease.

“I broke this shoulder — had it replaced. I broke this elbow. I broke this hand. I had an infection that almost cost me this finger. I broke my face. I broke this humerus,” Fox says, pointing to each part of his fractured body, before concluding with a wry snort. “And that sucked.”

As we slide into the 2023 Summer movie season, a new release takes us back to another one, now 38 years old. And while in recent years you could say that a major studio “owned’ the Summer as Paramount did last year with the Top Gun sequel, or as Marvel Studios has done (along with some characters licensed out to others) a couple of years prior. Oh, but the Summer of 1985 was pretty much owned by an unlikely cinema superstar, Michael J. Fox. For a week or two his “star vehicles”, Back To The Future and Teen Wolf were respectively numbers one and two on the box office charts. But his streak wasn’t limited to the big screen, as his “day job” on the NBC sitcom “Family Ties” had a safe perch in the top ten Nielsen ratings. But now he’s perhaps best known for his battle to defeat the...

“Inconvenient Truth” Oscar-winner Davis Guggenheim, like many creatives at the top of their game, always worries about staying there. When he read Michael J. Fox’s 2002 “Lucky Man: A Memoir” three years ago, he knew he wanted to produce a movie about the plucky star. But when he met with the actor, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at age 29 and is now 61, Guggenheim began to see what he could do with this moving drama.

“I was like, ‘wow,'” said Guggenheim. “Because I’m 59. Well, he’s a few years older than me. My kids are getting out of the house. I feel older, more fragile. I spent a lot of time going ‘poor me, poor me. The glory days of my family are over. My best films are behind me.’ You get in a rut. You convince yourself that life is shit. And then I’m like,...

For a man who has, for the last 30 years or so, found his life defined largely by the fact that his body moves in unwanted and uncontrollable ways, I get the feeling that the last thing Michael J. Fox is actually wants is to be still.

Davis Guggenheim’s documentary biography is formed around a series of interviews with Fox, footage of his day to day life, and narration taken (as is much of the film’s structure) from his first autobiography, Lucky Man. Still strikes me as being about a man who has always wanted to control the way he and his life move. He played sports as a kid, he talks about how he relied on the mobility of his face and his body in order to do his work as an actor; his ability to control those subtle movements a key part of what he he did.

Michael J. Fox may be the only man on earth who doesn’t remember Susanna Hoffs.

Fox made the revelation Friday during an interview to promote his new Apple TV+ documentary, Still. The story focuses on his life and current battle with Parkinson’s disease.

“When I look at that period in the [documentary] it just seems crazy,” Fox told The Sunday Times. “Look at all the girls I dated. Some of them I can’t even remember. I mean, I dated Susanna Hoffs from the Bangles, and I can’t even remember it. But that’s just an example. Stuff like that happened all the time.”

The Back to the Future and Teen Wolf star briefly dated Hoffs in 1986. She went on to marry Austin Powers director Jay Roach and Fox married his Family Ties costar Tracy Pollan.

Recently, Fox allowed that too much partying may have played a role in his Parkinson’s disease.

Apple TV+’s documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie sets itself apart from the deluge of celeb documentaries. Yes, it’s a documentary about the actor’s life and his battle with Parkinson’s disease. Some may even approach it thinking they’ve seen a doc like this before. But when you pull away from the film, it feels like you’ve watched a fully-bodied autobiopic about the Family Ties and Back to the Future star.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim and his editor Michael Harte (Three Identical Strangers) pulled off the feat by using moments from Fox’s cinematic canon — Back to the Future, The Secret of My Success and Bright Lights, Big City among other titles — in re-creations of the movie and TV star’s life.

The Sundance Film Festival has often been called one of the world’s most important documentary marketplaces, with 39 of the past 65 Best Documentary Feature contenders (60) either beginning or continuing their road to the Oscars in Park City, Utah. Examples include “Summer of Soul,” “Flee,” “Writing With Fire,” “Honeyland,” “The Edge of Democracy,” “American Factory,” “Time,” “The Mole Agent,” “Crip Camp,” “Rbg,” “Of Fathers and Sons,” “Minding the Gap,” and “Hale County This Morning, This Evening.”

Two of those–Questlove’s “Summer of Soul” and Netflix’s joint venture with Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions, “American Factory”–won the award. Four of this season’s nominees —“All That Breathes,” “Fire of Love,” “Navalny,” and “A House Made of Splinters”—played the festival in 2022. Climate change, human rights violations, competitive mariachi, and manned flight to Mars are only a few of the subjects addressed by this year’s eclectic non-fiction slate.

Michael J. Fox is one of the most beloved actors on the planet. Along with being instantly recognizable thanks to his starring role in the iconic "Back to the Future" franchise, the actor's charming turns in film and television span include his breakthrough role in the classic sitcom "Family Ties," the hairy sports star of "Teen Wolf," a meteoric rise in "The Secret of My Success," his fast-talking, schmoozing performance in "Spin City," and an underrated leading turn in Peter Jackson's "The Frighteners."

But for a long time now, Fox's public persona has been inexorably linked to Parkinson's disease, which the actor was diagnosed with in 1991 -- but Fox wouldn't make his ailment public until 1998, in the middle of his Emmy-winning work on "Spin City." Since then, he's become the poster child for Parkinson's, fighting to round up funding, raising awareness, and hoping to find a cure for the...

It started with a finger twitch. Michael J. Fox remembers being in bed in 1990 and staring at his pinky moving uncontrollably. At first he thought it might be a side effect from a night of heavy drinking, or perhaps his own imagination. Eventually he’d come to realize that “the trembling was a message from the future.” Three decades later, as he sits in front of a camera rocking back and forth in his chair, Parkinson’s is no longer confined to the slight fritzing of an appendage. It has taken over Fox’s entire life––visible in his struggles to walk, to hold a toothbrush, to send text messages––yet it’s never erased (only accentuated) his restless identity.

That’s abundantly clear in Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, an insightful, creatively edited documentary from director Davis Guggenheim that makes good on its title. Like the opening memory...

At the Sundance Film Festival premiere of Still, the documentary about his life and career, Michael J. Fox received a massive standing ovation from the packed Eccles theater as he took the stage with director Davis Guggenheim.

“You stumbled into my life and said, ‘We can make a movie out of this,'” remembered Fox of Guggenheim approaching him after reading Fox’s memoir and a New York Times story on the actor. “And I said I have nothing to do next week,” joked Fox, receiving laughter from the Park City audience.

Still is filled with humor as the movie tracks Fox’s move from his native Canada to Los Angeles and, after years of struggle, documents his meteoric career trajectory from Family Ties to Teen Wolf to Back to the Future. The doc dives into his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in his late 20s, his subsequent attempts to...
