Michael J Fox<\/a> shared his candid thoughts on death and the way he hopes to go after 35 years living with Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n The 65-year-old <\/a>actor was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease<\/a> in 1991 when he was 29 years old. <\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no timeline, there\u2019s no series of stages that you go through \u2013 not in the same way that you would, say, with prostate cancer,\u201d he told The Sunday Times about his diagnosis. \u201cIt\u2019s much more mysterious and enigmatic.\u201d<\/p>\n Fox \u2013 who is promoting his new memoir, Future Boy<\/a> \u2013 went on to detail his desire for a peaceful death.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are not many people who have had Parkinson\u2019s for 35 years,\u201d Fox said. \u201cI\u2019d like to just not wake up one day. That\u2019d be really cool. I don\u2019t want it to be dramatic. I don\u2019t want to trip over furniture, smash my head.\u201d <\/p>\n With Parkinson\u2019s<\/a>, the brain becomes progressively damaged over many years. Physical symptoms include involuntary shaking of body parts (tremor), as well as slowed movement and other mobility issues.<\/p>\n Now, Fox says he takes it easy, noting that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t walk much anymore\u201d. <\/p>\n \u201cI can walk, but it\u2019s not pretty and it\u2019s a bit dangerous. So I just roll that into my life, you know \u2013 no pun intended,\u201d he told The Times.<\/p>\n During an interview with People last week<\/a>, the Spin City star also opened up about his daily challenges while living with Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n \u201cI wake up and get the message of what the day is gonna be like, and I try to adjust to it,\u201d he said. \u201cI keep getting new challenges physically, and I get through it.\u201d<\/p>\n While Fox initially announced his retirement from acting in 2020, he has since appeared in the third season of the Apple TV+ comedy drama Shrinking. <\/a>The program stars Harrison Ford as Dr Paul Rhoades, who is living with Parkinson’s.<\/p>\n In addition to his television return, Fox has also maintained an active public presence, including appearances at Glastonbury and various awards shows<\/a>. He last spoke about his experience with Parkinson\u2019s in November 2024 at the annual gathering of his Parkinson\u2019s research foundation<\/a>, the Michael J Fox Foundation<\/p>\n He earlier told Entertainment Tonight that his outlook on the disease had changed over the years, noting that he doesn\u2019t negatively view his condition.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter 35 years or something since I\u2019ve been diagnosed, this is just my life and I don\u2019t think about it much,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m thinking about what we\u2019re going to do as a community to figure this out and find a cure \u2013 and short of a cure, [create] treatment centres that are really groundbreaking,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and moreStay ahead…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-226960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Michael](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2240857878.jpeg\")
