Michael J. Fox makes heartbreaking admission on how he wants to die amid Parkinson’s struggles

Michael J. Fox has spoken candidly about mortality as he continues facing new physical challenges more than three decades after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

The *Back to the Future* star was diagnosed in 1991 when he was just 29 years old. Since then, he has become one of the world’s most recognizable advocates for Parkinson’s research while continuing to work, write, act, and maintain a remarkably public life.

Through the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the actor has helped drive enormous investment into Parkinson’s research, with the organization raising more than $2 billion in support of efforts to better understand and treat the disease.

Fox has also continued reflecting on the extraordinary career that preceded his diagnosis.

His memoir *Future Boy* looks back at the period surrounding the 1985 release of *Back to the Future*, the movie that turned him into an international star.

But alongside those memories, Fox has become increasingly open about what living with Parkinson’s now looks like for him.

In a recent interview with *People*, he explained that every morning can bring something different.
