Renowned actor and Parkinson’s disease advocate, Michael J. Fox, delivered an inspiring message at the SXSW Film Festival, reflecting on his journey seven years after publicly disclosing his Parkinson’s diagnosis. At the age of 61, Fox emphasized his refusal to let the disease define him, expressing a lack of luxury for self-pity. Despite facing challenges, he remains determined to fight Parkinson’s and inspire others in similar situations.
During the festival, Fox showcased his documentary titled “Still: A Michael J. Fox Film,” providing a nuanced look into both fictional and real aspects of his life. Rather than focusing solely on Parkinson’s, Fox aimed to depict life’s overall journey.
