Hollywood star Michael J. Fox has opened up about his thoughts on his own mortality in a revealing interview where he discussed living with - and realising he would die with - Parkinson's. The 61 year old makes the heartbreaking acknowledgement that he doesn’t expect to reach his 80th birthday due to the disease.
Michael was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s back in 1991 when he was just 29 - and he went public with the news nine years later. After decades of campaigning, raising funds and awareness of the condition, Michael is set to appear in a number of interviews to discuss how he has experienced life with Parkinson’s, reports the Mirror.
A preview of his CBS Sunday Morning interview has shown him stating: "My life is set up so...I can pack Parkinson's along with me if I have to.” The actor goes on to explain that the disease made him reassess his approach to life and states: "You don’t die from Parkinson's. You die with Parkinson’s.”
