Michael J. Fox took a tumble on stage at a “Back to the Future” reunion panel on Saturday, but he quickly rebounded with humor.
The 61-year-old actor, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, was joined by his co-stars Christopher Lloyd and Tom Wilson at the event in London.
As the three were about to take the stage, Fox tripped and fell. He quickly got up and joked, “I’m still here!” reported Fox News.
The panel went on without incident, and Fox was praised for his handling of the situation.
“Michael J. Fox is a true inspiration,” one fan tweeted. “He took a fall on stage and handled it with grace and humor. What a class act.”
Fox has been open about his battle with Parkinson’s disease, and he has used his platform to raise awareness about the condition. He is also a co-founder of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
The foundation has raised over $1 billion for Parkinson’s research, and it has helped to accelerate the development of new treatments for the disease.
Fox’s fall on stage is a reminder that Parkinson’s can be a challenging condition, but it is also a reminder of his strength and resilience. He is an inspiration to millions of people around the world, and he continues to fight for a cure.
In a statement to Fox News, a representative for the actor said, “It’s no secret that people with Parkinson’s fall. Michael is doing great and was back on stage shortly after this happened.”
The representative added that Fox is “grateful for the outpouring of support” he has received.
