Ryan Reynolds shared some touching words about his friend and fellow Canadian Michael J. Fox after the Back To The Future star was recently named o...
The list, first published in 1999, features figures who have significantly contributed to their fields, ranging from politics and science to entertainment and business."I know Michael J. Fox . Like, I know him pretty damn well. He's funny. He's warm. He's handsome and intensely smart. He also falls a lot. Not just because he has Parkinson's. He falls a lot because he's unafraid to fly," wrote Reynolds .
In 1991, Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and the actor has been open about his struggles with his illness. He has also been a vocal advocate and supporter of finding a cure andReynolds said he has known Fox for 17 years and has watched him"raise the bar for purpose and passion." "It'd be kinda lazy to simply characterize him as the greatest champion of Parkinson's research on the planet," stated Reynolds, who has also served as a board member of the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
"It'd be kinda lazy to simply regard him as a movie star who shaped the lives of people all over the planet with a uniquely electric wit and self-aware charm. He's the sum of these beautiful parts. And so many more." Reynolds added he is"lucky" to know Fox as a friend and shared that Back to the Future is one of his daughter's favourite films."I don't need to teach my daughter the level of compassion Mike has mastered. Or teach her to tell stories the way Mike tells stories," he said.
