Michael J. Fox: I Love My Life

November 5th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

Michael J. Fox, who has lived with Parkinson’s disease for almost 20 years, has a hard time not moving still because of the degenerative nerve disorder. But now, with a four-part guest spot on Rescue Me, the actor will have face the challenge of staying still to play a paralyzed, wheelchair-bound man.

 

"The funny part is me playing a paralyzed guy because I am the opposite of paralyzed," he tells Entertainment Tonight in an interview airing this evening. "It’s tricky just to even just to be still."

 

The character is a far cry from the good guys Michael usually plays on screen, which will be another stretch for the veteran actor, one he’s looking forward to.

 

 

"[Dennis Leary] called me up and described [the character]," he says. "He is really dark and misanthropic. He’s bitter and nasty. It’s really fun."

 

Although the beloved actor has been struggling with the disease for a long time, Michael has remained optimistic about his condition, saying he’s "pretty good all things considered," and penning Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist, due out this spring.

 

"If you’re never down you’ll never know how good it feels to be up," he tells ET. "It’s a great ride and I wouldn’t change a thing. I love my life for whatever difficulties there are."

Michael J. Fox Is a Man With a Mission

December 3rd, 2007 / Author: cwillett

For seven years, Michael J. Fox and his wife, Tracy Pollan, have been getting the word about fighting Parkinson’s disease through the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and on Dec. 1, the pair played host at the foundation’s benefit gala, "A Groovy Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s."

"It’s a treat to see friends and people I haven’t seen in a while,” Michael explained to OK! at the event. “It’s going to be a good night.” With the help from host Stephen Colbert, performers John Mayer, Gavin DeGraw and special guests Rachael Ray, Katrina Bowden and Donny Deutsch, those in attendance were sure to groove.

As for Michael, who actively fights to find a cure for the degenerative disease that he also deals with daily, he told OK!, “It’s not just finding the answer; it’s finding the questions.”

Since its inception in 2000, the Michael J. Fox Foundation has raised close to $100 million in research to combat Parksinson’s — and the funds are still growing. This father of four adds, “The challenge is just getting as much done as I want to get done.”
