Michael J. Fox is breaking his silence on being very a lot alive after NCS inadvertently reported that the beloved actor had died.
The “Back to the Future” star, 64, on Wednesday night posted on Threads — Meta’s reply to X, previously Twitter — in regards to the weird ordeal.
“How do you react when you turn on the TV and NCS is reporting your death?” he asked. “Do you…A) switch to MSNBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour (scalding) hot water on your lap, if it hurts (you’re) fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, (E) Ask yourself wtf ?”
The Emmy-winning “Family Ties” alum quipped that although he “thought the world was ending,” it was “just me and I’m ok. Love, Mike.”
NCS on Tuesday sparked concern that Fox had died when the outlet inadvertently published a since-deleted tribute article and video, titled, “Remembering the Life of Actor Michael J. Fox.”
“The package was published in error,” a community spokesperson instructed a number of shops. “We have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family.”
A rep for Fox, whose Parkinson’s basis raises cash for analysis into the illness that has him for many years, instructed TMZ that the actor was “doing great.”
“He was at PaleyFest yesterday,” stated the rep. “He was on stage and giving interviews.”
Fox appeared on the occasion as a shock visitor on the panel for Apple TV’s “Shrinking,” through which he’s a visitor star in Season 3.
Earlier this yr, Harrison Ford, whose “Shrinking” character, Paul, suffers from Parkinson’s, stated he hoped Fox’s “grace and courage and indomitability … will help me color my portrayal of a character with Parkinson’s.”
