Michael J Fox was supported by his wife and four children as he took to the Emmys 2026 red carpet on Monday, ahead of receiving a humanitarian award The Back To The Future actor, 65, sat on a chair on the carpet amid his battle with Parkinson’sRecently, Fox opened up about his return to acting and having to overcome Parkinson’s, which affects his ability to memorize lines.The actor – who was diagnosed at the age of 29 with early-onset Parkinson’s in 1991 – revealed that he unretired from acting sooner than expected because his new character in Shrinking allowed him to ‘show up on set’ as himself.Fox first retired in 2000, two years after publicly sharing his diagnosis. He did make several cameos on television series Scrubs and The Good Wife before being forced to take a break from acting again in 2020. The talented actor explained his reasoning behind the decision to People, as he said: ‘A new variable emerged: my ability to memorize lines.’There’s a time for everything, and the time for 12-hour workdays was behind me.’Fox joined Harrison Ford-led series Shrinking for season 3 earlier this year.The Apple TV series was created by Fox’s pal Bill Lawrence, as he said he enjoyed having the freedom to ‘use how I feel on any given day and channel it into the scene.’On the series, he portrays the character Gerry as he becomes friends with Ford’s character Dr Paul Rhoades, who is also navigating a Parkinson’s diagnosis.
