Fox, after his surprise appearance at the BAFTAhe returned to talk about his career to the microphones of Entertainment Tonight. Fans of him can rejoice, because the star of Back to the Future he did not rule out returning to the set, as long as there are some conditions.
As is known, the 62-year-old star was diagnosed with the disease in 1991 Parkinson’s diseasewhich he didn’t talk about publicly until 1998. The illness pushed him to focus predominantly on familyrather than on his career. Michael J. Fox is married to Tracy Pollan and is proudly the father of four children.
My biggest goal, I think, was to start a family. We have four wonderful children, and that was the most important thing. The other is the foundation.
There Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease Research was born in 2000, shortly after the actor’s retirement from the TV series Spin City. The organization is involved in finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
To the BAFTAwhere he was in the running in the best documentary category, with his STILL: The Michael J. Fox Storythe actor said: “Cinema has the power to bring people together, no matter who you are or where you come from. There’s a reason they say movies are magical: why movies can change your day. They can change your perspective and sometimes even your life.”
Well, the iconic face of Marty McFly he could experience that ‘life-changing magic’ again. In fact, he admitted that, “if something came out in which I could put my reality – my challenges – if I could understand it”, he would be ready to get back into the game.
If someone offers me a part, and I do it, and I enjoy it, great.
See Fox again act in a feature film it would not only be an immense joy for his fans, but also an admirable example of tenacity and resilience.
Let’s take a step back. In 2022, podcast guest Working It Out by Mike Birbiglia, Michael recounted the moment he realized that his Health problems they were seriously starting to interfere with his work.
When I made The Good Wife spin-off I couldn’t remember the lines. I had this void. But what helped me is that I didn’t panic. I didn’t freak out. I just said, ‘Well, that’s it.’ A key element of this process is memorizing the lines, and I can’t do that.’
At the time, he noted that he had the “same problem” while filming the show as Kiefer Sutherland Designated Survivor .
Last year, finally achieved by Empire Magazineto explain his resolution to officially retire from the scene, he quoted Quentin Tarantino. In particular, a sequence of Once upon a time in Hollywood.
There’s this scene where Leonardo DiCaprio’s character can no longer remember his lines. He goes back to his dressing room and screams at himself in the mirror, as if he’s gone crazy. I had this moment where I looked in the mirror and thought, ‘I can’t remember anymore.’
From that moment, he ‘peacefully’ agreed to stop acting. Today, however, his attitude seems different, to the point that he could retrace his steps. All that remains is to hope that someone will offer him the right role and that his conditions will allow him to accept. The comeback of a legend like Michael J. Foxbeloved throughout the world, would be an event of very remarkable proportions.
