The eternal Marty McFly of the “Back to the Future” franchise, Michael J. Fox shared in a new interview with the American network CBS the difficulties of his life with Parkinson’s, a disease diagnosed more than 30 years ago. The 61-year-old actor said that every day is a struggle and getting harder and harder to deal with. Parkinson’s disease is neurological, chronic and progressive, affecting the central nervous system and affecting movement and can cause tremors.
In an interview, the actor also shared that surgery to remove a benign tumor in his spine affected his Parkinson’s treatment and left sequelae. “He interfered with my walking. […] I broke this arm, this one [outro] arm. I broke that elbow. I broke my face,” he reported. About life with the disease, he wasn’t optimistic. “I won’t make it to 80. i won’t lie. It’s getting hard, it’s getting harder. It’s getting harder. It gets harder every day,” she confessed.
Although statistics show that the onset of the disease is more common after the age of 55, Fox was diagnosed at age 29, in 1991. In previous interviews, he has commented that he went into a state of denial for 7 years. Therefore, he only disclosed that he has Parkinson’s in 1998.
Last year he received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for his career in treatment. At the ceremony, she said: ‘I was told I only had ten years left to work. It was a lie. The hardest part of my diagnosis was dealing with the certainty of the disease and the uncertainty of the situation. I just knew it. it would have gotten worse.”
In recent years, Fox has narrated and participated in series and films such as “The Good Wife”, “The Good Fight” and “A Gente Se Vê Yesterday”.
The full interview will air Sunday (04/30), in the US. Check out the preview below.
