Michael J. Fox is alive and properly, regardless of rumors of his loss of life circulating on-line.
One day after NCS ignited a loss of life scare by releasing a video bundle titled “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox” on Wednesday, the legendary actor — who has been residing with Parkinson’s disease since 1991 — reassured followers that he’s doing simply nice.
“How do you react when you turn on the TV and NCS is reporting your death?” Fox, 64, wrote on his Threads account. “Do you… A) switch to MSNBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour scolding hot water on your lap, if it hurts your fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, (E) Ask yourself wtf?”

“I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok,” he concluded. “Love, Mike.”
According to Entertainment Weekly, the bundle that was shared throughout the community’s varied websites featured interview excerpts and clips of Fox’s work by the years.
“He came into our living rooms on the small screen each week as Alex P. Keaton [on ‘Family Ties’] and eventually onto the big screen as Marty McFly in ‘Back to the Future,'” a narrator stated within the clip, per EW. “But Michael J. Fox had a compelling third act as Parkinson’s sufferer and stem cell research advocate.”

“His most lasting role may have been as a tireless voice against Parkinson’s, a performance the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 2022,” the narrator continued. “In the end, Fox came to understand that his battle against the disease brought out the best in him.”
