TL;DR

Michael J. Fox has revealed that he has suffered from multiple broken bones in recent years due to Parkinson's disease. The actor, who was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 29, said that he now has more medical support than ever before. Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that causes unintended and uncontrollable movements, and can eventually affect the ability to walk and talk. Fox officially retired from acting in 2020 due to struggles with remembering lines, but was recognized in November with an honorary Oscar for his advocacy work with Parkinson's disease.
