Michael J. Fox has spoken about whether he would work as an actor again and wanted to thank him for the special moment he experienced at the BAFTAs. In addition, Fox has explained how he sees his day-to-day life with Parkinson's so many years later.
Michael J. Fox has had Parkinson's since he was 29 years old. From that moment on, his life changed completely and his efforts were focused on being able to live with the disease and helping others by creating the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which promotes research into this degenerative disease.
After having experienced a triumphant entrance full of love and applause at the BAFTAs and having abandoned his wheelchair to present Oppenheimer with the award for Best Picture, the actor has reappeared again in an interview prior to a charity gala for his foundation in the who has talked about whether or not he would return to acting, how he felt about the warm reception at the BAFTAs or how he sees his illness.
The Marty McFly interpreter has recalled his beginnings in acting and has confessed that he was attracted by all the work that could be done in Hollywood: editing, writing, production, direction... He said that he wanted to "do it all" and he has joked that "22-year-olds are unpleasant," referring to the fact that he was that age when he wanted to try so many new things. Therefore, he has been asked, looking back, if he could say that he had achieved all of his goals.
"I think my biggest goal was to start a family. We have four wonderful children and that has been the most important thing. And then the other is with the foundation," he told ET.
"If someone offers me a role and I do it and have a good time, great. I mean, the documentary was very exciting. It was fun. I would never have set that goal for myself. It just happened." It must be remembered that the actor brought Still to light to talk about his fight against the disease.
"I would dedicate myself to acting if something arose in which I could put my realities, my challenges, if I could solve it," Michael has expressed about the possibility of seeing him acting again.
After this he recalled the great moment at the BAFTAs, which you can see again in the video above. He wanted to refer to the big ovation: "I love it and I appreciate it, but I take it more as a recognition of the determination and resolve to solve the big problem, and that we all have the power to do whatever we can do." to move things forward. I think people just say, 'Thank you for hanging in there and going after this.' And I appreciate that."
Fox has explained that she feels she serves as a beacon and a symbol of optimism: "That's what people responded to at the BAFTAS. The problem is that people really want to believe that we can do things and I think they see me as someone who is doing that."
In fact, he said that he went to the A Country Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson's ceremony, also held in Nashville, and he stressed how excited he is to be in his city: "The support here is fantastic and it's good to mix things up." and also go to events like Country. It's great to be in Nashville."
Regarding Parkinson's and his daily life, he has explained that he does not see it like others, who see that he can have bad or good days, or that it is all a struggle: "After 35 years or something like that since I was diagnosed, this is It's just my life and I don't think much about it. I don't even think about it. Except I'm thinking about what we're going to do as a community to solve this and find a cure, and in the absence of a cure, create treatment centers that are innovative. "I personally am who I am and this is the way I was built. And necessarily I'm trying to figure it out for me, I'm doing it for everyone. But it is what it is."
"My life has been a great journey and continues to be a great journey. And despite all the challenges, it comes with all the good things," Fox concluded.
