Michael J. Fox<\/a> is hoping his death isn’t “dramatic” after battling Parkinson’s disease for the past 35 years.<\/p>\n

Fox opened up about his future with the “mysterious” disease, which he was first diagnosed with at age 29.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s no timeline, there\u2019s no series of stages that you go through \u2014 not in the same way that you would, say, with prostate cancer. It\u2019s much more mysterious and enigmatic,” the now 64-year-old actor told The Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“There are not many people who have had Parkinson\u2019s for 35 years,” Fox continued. “I\u2019d like to just not wake up one day. That\u2019d be really cool. I don\u2019t want it to be dramatic. I don\u2019t want to trip over furniture, smash my head.”<\/p>\n

MICHAEL J FOX ADMITS IT\u2019S \u2018HARD FOR ME\u2019 TO MAINTAIN HUMOR DURING PARKINSON\u2019S BATTLE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Parkinson’s disease<\/a>, a degenerative brain disorder, affects the nervous system and mobility, according to the Mayo Clinic. Throughout his prolific acting career, Fox has had to find ways to work around his Parkinson’s disease symptoms. A doctor once told him acting would help him cope with the symptoms of the disease, The Times reported.<\/p>\n

“It was helpful, to a point,” Fox explained. “And that\u2019s [the point] where I break stuff. It\u2019s absolutely incredible the stuff I broke. In a three-year period, I broke my elbow, I broke my hand, I got a big infection in my hand and I almost lost my finger.”<\/p>\n

At one point, the “Back to the Future<\/a>” star lost the ability to play a guitar he now keeps beside his office desk.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s terrible,” he said. “I had all these little bones broken, and it got infected, and they had to cut the bones out because the bones got infected. I broke my other shoulder, had it replaced. I broke my cheekbone. I had a plate here. I\u2019m missing something?”<\/p>\n

“It has been just like a tragedy,” he added.<\/p>\n

“I take it easy now,” Fox noted. “I don\u2019t walk that much anymore. I can walk but it\u2019s not pretty and it\u2019s a bit dangerous. So I just roll that into my life, you know \u2014 no pun intended.”<\/p>\n

Fox first gained fame for his role in “Family Ties.<\/a>” The actor received three Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Alex P. Keaton in the sitcom. While filming “Family Ties,” Fox landed the role of Marty McFly \u2013 one that would change the trajectory of his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Back to the Future” gave Fox international fame. Fox attended a convention tied to the Robert Zemeckis-directed film a few years ago.<\/p>\n

“I thought, well, I\u2019ll do this for the fans,” he told The Times. “I realized \u2014 no, it wasn\u2019t for them, it was for me.<\/p>\n

“I wanted to express my gratitude to them. They\u2019ve given me so much, my life is so amazing. The disease sucks, but \u2026 people don\u2019t feel sorry for me. They don\u2019t think I\u2019m pathetic. They see me as \u2013 well, I couldn\u2019t tell you how they see me, but I sense that they see me as a positive force.”<\/p>\n

Fox hasn’t given up acting all these years later. He will appear in the upcoming third season of Apple TV+’s “Shrinking,” years after taking a step back from the big screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
