Michael J Fox wins his first Oscar

23 November 2022

Michael J Fox, who played the beloved Marty McFly in Back to the Future, won his first Oscar. Perhaps you all know that at the age of 29, the actor was diagnosed with a terrible diagnosis - Parkinson's disease. Today, Fox is 61 years old and continues to struggle with the disease. But after the end of his acting career, Michael did not sit idly by. He created the Parkinson's Research Foundation, which has raised over $1 billion to find a cure for the disease. It was for his humanitarian achievements that his good friend Woody Harrelson presented him with an honorary award.

"Michael J. Fox sets the highest example of how to fight and live, and today he is loved for both his philanthropy and his acting skills," Harrelson said onstage.

And Michael, at the beginning of his speech, self-deprecatingly joked, saying: "You make me shiver."
