À propos de cet audio
Michael J. Fox has captivated headlines and public interest this week with a series of developments that reflect both his personal resilience and enduring impact on Parkinson's research and entertainment. Over the weekend, Fox made a striking appearance at the 2025 US Open in New York, arriving in a wheelchair due to his ongoing battle with Parkinson's disease but standing up for photos alongside his wife Tracy Pollan. Social media buzzed as NYC influencer Mickey Blank posted a video to Instagram showing Fox and Pollan sharing a moment on the blue carpet, Fox dressed sharply in blue slacks and blazer, symbolizing the dignity and determination that have characterized his public life. Us Weekly and multiple entertainment outlets highlighted this appearance, hailing Fox’s courage and the steadfast support from his wife, which fans noted on platforms ranging from Instagram to X formerly Twitter.
On the business and charity front, Fox’s foundation is marking a major milestone. The Michael J. Fox Foundation announced the 15th anniversary of its Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative—a landmark global study that is fundamentally transforming how Parkinson's is researched and potentially treated. Foundation communications emphasized breakthroughs, especially the validation of biomarkers for early diagnosis, and ramped up calls to action for public involvement, including a national smell test campaign. This initiative and Fox’s ongoing advocacy are being credited by scientists and patient advocates alike with catalyzing new drug development efforts. AbbVie’s submission of a new drug application to the FDA for Tavapadon, a therapy for Parkinson's, was also referenced directly by foundation news releases, underlining Fox’s influence in shaping the research ecosystem.
A major entertainment headline landed when Rolling Stone and IMDb reported Fox’s imminent return to acting. He will guest star in the third season of Apple TV+’s Shrinking, marking his first on-screen television role since his second announced retirement in 2020. Apple TV+ and Fox posted jointly on Instagram, fueling a wave of speculation from fans and critics about whether Fox’s character will intersect with Harrison Ford’s role—a therapist with Parkinson’s—a storyline reportedly inspired by Fox himself. The announcement was widely covered by Variety, People, and numerous pop culture outlets, with most framing Fox’s comeback as one of his most significant professional moves in years, both biographically and for public visibility of Parkinson’s.
Rounding out recent news are stray rumors and social media noise. Unfounded death hoaxes regarding Fox circulated briefly online but were swiftly debunked by outlets like People and IMDb, with fans and foundation officials confirming he remains very much active and engaged.
Taken together, this week underscores Michael J. Fox’s remarkable ability to bridge personal courage, advocacy, and cultural influence, with his US Open appearance and Shrinking casting headline carrying the greatest long-term significance for public perception of the actor.
