In a deeply moving update, Michael J. Fox, who has bravely battled Parkinson’s for more than 30 years, opens up about the disease’s relentless hold. At 62, he faces the harsh realities of his condition—his facial muscles weakened, his body marked by surgeries and fractures. Confronting his own mortality, he admits candidly, “Every day it’s tougher… I’m not going to be 80.” Director Davis Guggenheim, who has spent time with Fox, values this rare and profound insight. Fox reflects on Parkinson’s as a complicated force—one that continually takes, yet has sparked transformative growth in his life. His journey, shaped by depression and physical setbacks, has tested his strength, yet with unwavering resolve, he asserts, “I’m a tough son of a b****.”
