Michael J. Fox on Parkinson's and Family

Entities: Tracy Pollan · Bill Lawrence · The Michael J. Fox Foundation · Michael J. Fox · Apple

Overview

In late July 2026 Fox reiterated that acting remains a vital source of purpose and health. After retiring in 2020 because Parkinson’s‑related speech issues, his return to the Apple TV+ series Shrinking’s third season—and the prospect of a fourth—has “really prolonged my life.” He again described the toll his disease took on his wife Tracy Pollan, saying she “lived a hell because of my Parkinson’s,” and cited his 1998 public disclosure as a way to normalise the condition. Fox reaffirmed the Michael J. Fox Foundation’s impact, noting it has raised roughly three billion dollars since its 2000 launch, and referenced his recent advocacy at the Social Impact Summit where Harrison Ford accepted an award on the foundation’s behalf.
