Michael J. Fox enters “second retirement” due to health concerns
Michael J. Fox will enter retirement once more as health issues continue to plague the beloved actor.
Fox, who built a long career from hits including Back to the Future and Teen Wolf, suffers from Parkinson’s Disease,which he was diagnosed with decades ago.
Fox shares some of his concerns in a new book, No Time Like the Future, in which hewrites “The nascent diminishment in my ability todownload words and repeat them verbatim is just the latest ripple in the pond.”
He continued, “There
is a time for everything, and my time of putting in a twelve-hour workday, and
memorizing seven pages of dialogue, is best behind me,” he reportedly
writes in his book. “At least for now.”
The actor said he
would be entering a second retirement in fairness to himself and film crews, “not
to mention actors who enjoy a little pace”.
He said his decision
could change, “because everything changes” but added “if this is the end of my
acting career, so be it”.
