À propos de cet audio
Michael J Fox has been everywhere this week with a truly headline-grabbing return to acting and a media blitz tied to both his health journey and personal reflections. Fox News reports that after a five-year retirement, Fox is stepping back in front of the camera for a pivotal, three-episode guest arc in the upcoming third season of the Apple TV Plus series “Shrinking.” He reunites with “Spin City” co-creator Bill Lawrence for this role, and for the first time he’ll be playing a character who, like Fox himself, has Parkinson’s disease. He told People magazine that it was a “personal” return and admitted that, for once, he didn’t have to worry about hiding his symptoms on set. He simply incorporated them naturally into the performance, giving a new layer to the role and marking what could be one of the most biographically significant acting moments for Fox since his diagnosis. The announcement made entertainment headlines, especially because it signals a defiant stand against the limitations Parkinson's has imposed on his public life.
Simultaneously, Fox is drawing fresh attention for candid personal comments. In a recent interview with The Times and discussed widely, including by Fox News, he reflected on living with Parkinson’s for 35 years, stating he hopes his death won’t be “dramatic,” preferring instead to “just not wake up one day.” He spoke openly about the surreal durability of his illness, his reduced mobility, and the spate of injuries he’s suffered—emphasizing a life lived on the edge of his energy but with deep gratitude toward fans and a desire to remain active in work and family life. He’s also been making news for his memoir, “Future Boy,” released this week, taking readers behind the scenes of his heyday. He stopped by The View to talk about the book, his iconic double-duty year starring in “Family Ties” and “Back to the Future,” and his Parkinson’s crusade—highlighting the $2.5 billion now raised by the Michael J Fox Foundation.
That foundation itself is all over the news with its latest scientific campaign. According to official Foundation updates and PR Newswire, they’ve just launched the Bachmann-Strauss Early Career Award for Dystonia Research, expanding their footprint beyond Parkinson’s into related movement disorders—underscoring Fox’s long-term biographical importance not just as an actor but also as a transformative figure in medical philanthropy. Social media is buzzing with clips from The View and excerpts from his memoir, particularly a raw passage in which Fox describes feeling “like a whore” during “Teen Wolf” product placement shoots, stirring both nostalgia and deeper conversation about celebrity and agency. In sum, Michael J Fox is having a moment packed with personal vulnerability, creative resurgence, and a continued leadership role in medical advocacy—a week truly worth the headlines.
