Michael J. Fox’s Loving Kids Have Helped Him Battle Online Trolls Who’ve Made Fun Of His Condition
Michael J. Fox rose to fame following his iconic portrayal of Marty McFly in “Back To The Future.” Since then, he has continued to soar higher in his craft as an actor. But even someone like Fox who has earned the respect of the public isn’t one to get away with hurtful words — not because he had done anything wrong but simply because of his condition. Thankfully, he has amazing children who always come to his defense.
Fox is a beloved actor who’s been in the spotlight since the
19805. Despite his tragic Parkinson’s disease diagnosis in the early ’90s, when he was only 29, Fox has had the support of his wife and fellow actress Tracy Pollan.
Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1961, Fox took an interest in acting early on in his life, and after filming the Canadian sitcom “Leo and Me,” he headed off to Los Angeles in 1979 to make it big. Clearly, the folks in LA could see the potential in him, because before long he was cast as Alex P. Keaton in “Family.
Ties,” which ran from 1982-1989.
It was actually on the set of the series that Fox first met his would-be wife, Pollan — their characters even played onscreen romantic interests! But as they were both in relationships at the time, they wouldn’t begin dating until later on. In the meantime, Fox’s career only continued to rise, and by the mid-’80s he was a star and teen idol, appearing in the “Back to the Future” franchise and “Teen Wolf,” among other movies.
