Michael J. Fox, beloved and remembered actor in the Ochntuous “Back to the Future” series, announced that he will not be able to perform again. It is that since the age of 29 she suffers a parkinson’s picture and today at the age of 59 her health is very deteriorated, as reported by the same actor. The Canadian actor stated, “If this is the end of my career, so be it” realizing the serious deterioration in his health while promoting his books “No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality.”
Fox, who is world-time remembered for having played the endearing role of Marty McFly, the time-traveling young man in a magical Delorean aided by the mad scientist Emmet Brown, made public his diagnosis only in 1998: “It was as if a truck passed you by,” he said then.
The actor-father of four confessed to People magazine: “There is a time for everything, and my time to work 12 hours a day and memorize seven pages of script have been left in the past. At least for now I’m entering a second retirement. This could change, because everything changes, but if this is the end of my career, so be it.” The Holywood star who also played in the 1980s the hit television series “Family Ties” tells of in her book that in addition to motor skills issues, Neurodegenerative Parkinson’s disorder can cause serious cognitive problems. 
The actor spoke with several American media outlets such as the New York Times or los Angeles Times, and revealed that he also suffers from symptoms of dementia, memory loss and hallucinations resulting from the disease. That’s why Fox is now in writing (he’s already edited four books) and spending time with his children and wife Tracy Pollan: “Work as an actor doesn’t define me,” he says in his book.
