    This is why comedy is so important. He uses it to show that he’s ok. He’s sick yea, but he will always be Michael J Fox. Comedy breaks through all barriers.

    What a fighter and inspiring man MJ Fox is! It's hard to believe that he's been diagnosed three decades (!) ago and then goes on stage and delivers such a great 13-minute speech - even taking his shaking hand with humor. His achievement in funding Parkinson's research goes way beyond any honor in existence.

    Brilliant speech. Those of us who grew up in the 80's remember 80's famous. Michael has achieved a lot in life, some of the most memorable movies ever made. A loving family and a wonderful wife. But you don't realise until you hear him talk what a cracking sense of humour he has. This speech was both funny and moving. He has met Parkinson's head on, and it does not, and has not, ever defined who he is. Michael is still the same person he always was, and his willingness to help others is a testament to who he is as a person. Good man

    I don't think I can add to what's said here about Michael... but I can definitely say Tracy Pollan is an absolute godsend. To stand by her husband through everything he has endured... with class, grace, a smile, and a heart the size of Texas - she has earned just as much respect.

      He said not long ago when asked about Tracy and their 35 year marriage, I'd be dead " meaning I couldn't have made it without her love, support, and everything she's done. Love them both and all of their kids. They're such a beautiful & supportive family. Michael certainly deserves this award! ❤️

      @sheilarough236 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A movie he made when he was young, several people who worked on the movie later developed Parkinson’s, which leads to believe that there might be an environmental connection, especially since he was so young when he was diagnosed, not even 30. Parkinson’s usually doesn’t start showing symptoms until patients are in their 60’s

    • @canileaveitblank1476
      @canileaveitblank1476 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually, it was Parkinson’s that got him to stop treating his wife like $hit. So, you’re probably confusing his acting persona’s with his real persona; which is rarely seen by the public.

      Thank you for your vulnerability in your comment. Most of us live our lives distracted with entertainment or chores and not thinking about the temporary nature of our lives-almost thinking we are eternal creatures. But in reality everyone from young people to elderly people are vulnerable to death. It’s a reality that death is part of life just as birth is. I guess knowing we will eventually die can make us treat ourselves and others with compassion and kindness. We can appreciate our lives more knowing the fleeting nature of it. Happy Holidays to you Emmanuel

His humor, candor, and heart are his greatest attributes, and we are all blessed by his courageous life.

      I'll tell you a story about a similar situation in my life. 2 childhood friends fought as teens and the more brilliant and promising of the 2 ended up in a year long coma and with a severe traumatic brain injury. The prognosis was "he'll never wake up". He did.
      Then, " he'll never talk". He did with great difficulty.
      Then, " he'll never walk". He did with great difficulty.
      Then, he won't be able to take care of himself". He did. And not only that, he returned to university in our town and earned his doctorate and for years he was tenured mathematics professor. He was killed riding his inline bicycle on the way to campus a few years ago. He was an amazing guy and I admired him and I will always tell people about him. We were fast friends to the end.

    No matter Michael’s condition he delivered an eloquent, articulate and memorable speech. What an incredible display of courage. Everything I imagined about what MJF is like as a person, watching him throughout the years has been totally exceeded beyond measure.
    His humour, warmth and compassion leaves an indelible impression on all of us. He’s simply a beautiful human and his family are amazing.
    Thank you Michael.
    We love you.

    What a great and humble man. I laughed at all the jokes he made, but I also had tears in my eyes. It makes me so sad to see how the disease is slowly taking over. He's so down to earth, so sweet, so nice, never had a scandal. He loves his family and his family loves him! Michael, I wish you all the best......❤️

    My dad died of Parkinson's, M. J. Fox was a beacon for me and a light, I read everything i could on Parkinson's, M. J. Fox seemed to creep in some of the research as I was deep diving this disease and learning. I just finally came across this video and it brought tears to my eyes. Hes suffered through this horrid disease along time, he was as he said unsure of its progression, it was very fast for my father (15 yrs), it was soul, spirit, mind, and emotionally crushing, MJ Fox has such humor and grace dealing with it, he gave me hope, and he is a inspiration. Im so glad he has such wonderful powerful support, end stage Parkinson's is not anything I wish anyone to have to go through, and the family having to watch the final rapid decline.

      Honestly didn’t even realize he had it until I had seen him about a month prior on my way from work back home cutting grass, and then at work he was there with his family and that when I realized he had the disease.

    He was a part of lives back in the 80s, he pretty much lived in our living rooms. That really touched me on so many different levels but most of all because I can see that he knows he is not his failing body and talks to it like it's an annoying dog. This man knows who he truly is and that's why he exudes peace and stillness.

He was wonderful as an actor, we loved him as Marty Mcfly or Alex P Keaton but as a human being he is inspirational. This is how you face the worst possible situation and create something truly amazing. Feel compassion for MJF, but don't give him pity, he doesn't need it. He's stronger than most of us. A remarkable person.
