  • since fuckin when was he accused of enpregnating 16 year old girls?!

  • poor Michael J Fox I really loved his acting skills.

  • the guy is a hero. an absolute hero

  • michael j fox is the one person who does NOT deserve to hav this terrible disease. i hope u find a cure michael, u are my childhood hero

  • @atomichead777 I wasn't sure whether to vote this up or down. No one deserves this or any condition like it. But I voted you up.

  • I'm on the opposite side of the issue from where Mr. Fox is. While I agree with Rush Limbaugh's verbal opinion that Michael Fox making himself public on this issue and means he can therefore be criticized, I don't believe that debating his views on the the issue of stem-cell research is the same as mocking and belittling his illness and/or its symptoms. That's a very low and immature action to take.

  • Find a cure, Mike. You got it

  • It's heart breaking to see someone in his condition but on the other hand he's so brave to go public and talk about it. Hat's up Michael!

  • Poor guy... Michael is one my main role models- my love goes to my one and only!

     Alwayz!

  • I love this man so much, Back to the Future is one of my favourite films. And it really is hard seeing him like this. Utmost respect to the man, Keep fighting the good fight!! <3

  • poor micheal j. fox............. :=(

  • Michael is such a badazz!

  • limbah is an asshole and i really hope michael j. fox finds a cure because seeing him like this makes me cry

  • awww!! this makes me so sad, but mjf is such a stong person..i really hope they find a cure, hes one of my favorite actors<3

  • He is a marvelous personality... what a terrific speaker. Inspiring for us all.

  • Aw, I feel so bad for him. I love MJF, he's an amazing actor and person. I really hope they find a cure :(

  • Michael is my hero I am 18 and he has inspired me greatly. keep up the good work Michael, dont give up that cure will come soon. Your a smart man and very polite and respond with grace, you deserve the best and respect.

  • i am a republican and i will say', "Hats off to you Michael". Kep kicking ass!

  • What a dignified eloquent man - he speaks total sense and comes across as a real genuine human being without being bitter about any of the shit that life has thrown at him , and in that statement I include ignorant jerks like Rush Limbaugh. Michael is an inspiration.

  • I love you Michael!

  • I grew up watching MJF movies like Back To The Future and I feel REALLY bad seeing him suffering with this disease. I really hope seeing this sir cured and able to act again smoothly. MJF HUGES FROM A FAN FROM BRAZIL MAN!

  • i hope he finds a cure

  • @Dgamer21 he will.

  • woah, I think some people on here need to go do a little research on where exactly stem cells come from... they're not from abortions, they're from IVF...

  • MJF is an amazing man...and just so everyone knows.... i still have pictures of him hanging on my room. i have so much love and respect for this man that i never have or never will meet in my life. he has the courage and strength that i can only hope to have during my life.

  • Michael j fox is an inspiration to both actors and day to day people hes a great actor and a great person and fu Rush

  • why couldn't this afflict Rush instead? just proves that there is no god.

  • i love mike hes a great actor i give him my luck and love to get that cure and then we can start to see him back on our screens agian and i love him for the fact that he strides on for greatness and carrys on with his job and at the end of the day hes a idle and a great person hes got a heart and guts to do this on tv

  • poor guy :l he is one of my favorite actors.

    i'm watching back to the future part 3 right now. lol.

    i hope they find a cure.

  • I'm not a pro-abortionist (I'm against it), but as long as there are abortions, I don't see why we should put all these stem cells to waste.

  • "Is this tough for you?"

    I feel like slapping her with a sledgehammer...

  • Katie Couric always sounds phony to me. She shouldn't be interviewing Michael J. Fox. He deserves better.

  • Great man, great man!

  • Go Katie, do what you do best, this almost beats race batting, Couric is a ture sack of shit!

  • Man. Thanks MJF.

  • wew

  • Wow, it's hard to watch this and imagine his suffering. He can't do anything normal that we take for granted. Sign a paper, hold hands with his wife, hug his children or pick them up, this is horrible. I hope he gets better.

  • Watch my video "teratoma monologue" and learn a bit. Michael, and all patients for that matter, deserve better.

    Favoring this bogus research takes away from real focused more effective research.

  • Why christianity went so confused? Even Islam and Jeudaism accept stem cells stating the exact time of spirit creation by God which is later than that embrion that can save lives of millions.

  • This research's success will be defined by how successful a corporation can manipulate human individuals in their early stages of development for consumption by other individuals.

    Consumption of our own young. Cannibalism.

  • I hope Michael gets better, Back to the future is in the top 10 movies of all time in my opinion. Rush Limbaugh is an idiot to think that someone could make this up or make them look like that intentionally.

  • for a long time i kinda thought michael j fox was charlie sheen lol.

  • he is not making this up... and the sad thing is its likely his parkinsons was triggered by him having lyme disease.. something that is often not talked about...

  • Being a "leftover" does not make a human embryo any less human.

    Michael deserves more focused and more promising research to treat his disease.

    Science should move forward, away from cannibalistic research.

  • Limbaugh proved what a complete asshole he is!!!

  • This is so sad...

  • so insightful.

  • i love you mike

  • asshole.

  • thats a joke right?

  • It's a mistake to give michael a brain tumor by implanting another developing human being's body parts.

    We need more meaningful less cannibalistic research.

    This will enable more rapid treatments and cures.

  • Props to Mr. Fox. He's very intelligent.

  • couldn't they stop the interview and restart it when he felt better?

  • He can't help it

  • i think he wanted to continue the interview to really show the effects

  • It's so weird to watch him, it lookes like he does it on purpose, it must be so annoying. Would a little bit valium have any affect?

  • No.

  • Michael, you're such an inspiration to all of us and I really hope we find cures to diseases such as Parkinson. You are a billion times smarter than limbaugh and I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

  • and he speaks up for a number of afflictions, not just his own.

  • what a polite, well -spoken man.

  • 1) I wish Michael rapid treatment and a cure

    2) Science has proven that 100 human embryos have the potential to allow 100 non-walking humans to walk( as children if the embryos are NOT destroyed)

    3) Destroyed embryo's cells produce horrific tumors called teratomas(look it up) There is NO CURE IN SIGHT by using and destroying human embryos. It's only a theory.

    4) Micheal's right, we have only one chance at this life, that's why I'm spending my valuable time opposing such ineffective cannibalism.

  • oran6es:

    1) There was no cure immediately in sight by using animals to research various diseases, but it HAS helped medical progress on countless occasions. Nobody knew at the beginning what we would learn from it, but it has had an astounding effect on science. If we knew what we would learn at the beginning, there would be nothing to learn. We don't know how it might help yet, but we need to try in order to find out.

  • 2) We're not talking about a little human shaped baby here; we're talking about a ball of undifferentiated cells. It has the potential to be a human life, yes, as does the egg a woman releases every month. Am I, then, by your definition, a 'cannibal'?

    On a more trivial note, cannibals eat people. I don't think that's what anybody is suggesting we do with the embryos.

  • Make a paralyzed chimp walk using chimp embryonic cells. At that point I'll be a believer.

    Your egg is but an egg. A sperm is but a sperm. A human embryo is a individual human at an early stage of development. It's only a ball of cells for a few days. Within 25 days the nervous system, the limb buds, begin forming.

    No one has thought about step 2 (assuming this works). Tens of millions of patients needing more embryos for treatment. Where and how will we get them? Factories?

  • "Make a paralyzed chimp walk using chimp embryonic cells. At that point I'll be a believer."

    And how will that happen if we're not allowed to research? It could happen. Not saying it will, or even that it's likely, but it COULD, or another medical breakthough COULD happen, and that is the point. The opportunity is there now to research and find out exactly what can be done.

  • The point is: show me ANYTHING, ANY CURE using animal research. Research on human subjects, including those in the embryonic stage that does not benefit those same humans, is a violation of ethics established by the world health organization.

  • Then maybe the ethics need reshuffling a bit to take in new scientific approaches.

    I'm tired of arguing with you now. We don't agree. You're not going to change my mind and I have no interest in changing yours.

  • I think is a very good idea to research more about those cells to find a efficient treatment for people like Michael.

  • It's really sad how everything was so great in back to the future, and now just watching him be so uncontrollably shaky. I hope they find a cure or a severe mitigator of symptoms soon.

  • Why would you make fun of something like this? It's a disease that is deadly,youthink deadly diseases are funny? what kind of world are we living in? laughin at people who are mental & retarded& now your just saying these awful comments on youtube? you need to get a life,and think twice and thank god that you dont have to go thru what these people go thru.because god knows what people will do to get a little attention on the internet,thats just sick & just wrong

  • The term "mental and retarded" is not politically correct. It is now considered "handicaped" OR "P.O.H.I., Physically or Otherwise Handicaped Individuals"

  • how can u possibly go against stem cell research. That is ridiculous. Look at this man and tell me the help for him is being thrown out the window because u cant get over yourself. Michael needs help and I and millions of other americans couldnt wait to get Bush out and Obama in to help this man and many others like him. God forbid if it ever happen to you. What would you be saying... Thats what I thought.

  • katie couric can you please shut the fuck up and retire already.

    thanks

  • i posted that comment as a reply to a hater i love him i dont have problems with michael j. fox i love him

  • i feel horrible, stuff like this makes me wish i wasn't a lazy prick sometimes.

  • haha i hear you, dude.

    i feel the same way

  • i love you man get better

  • Poor bastards like Michael are suffering in conditions like this all because some supersticious people won't let the more intelligent people to use some goo that can help extend and improve life. To see his films and then to see him now is absolutely heartbreaking, at least he's out there trying to get stuff done aswell, even in his condition.

  • Oh, this is so sad to watch. I know he clearly stated that pity is the opposite of what he needs or wants, but the feeling of sadness that individuals are going to feel whilst watching this is inevitable.

    I respect this man so much. He's clearly such a strong man and he's managing this all with intelligence, dignity and an amazing optimistic outlook; to make that difference. Which he has and will continue to do.

    Amazing man xx

  • Is sad, really sad, for anyone, poor Michael, we've to pray for him .

  • This makes me cry

  • u r a sick bastard!

  • WTF?!

  • WTF?!

  • "how tough is this for you?"....ummm....how tough do you think it is bitch !!...fuckin look at him

  • gargle888000, I'm sure if you were suffering the way Fox is, you'd reach out for help and support too. Asshole.

  • It's a sad end to an actor like him.

    I knew some people with Parkinson but none ike his stage. He has my respect.

  • sad man

  • You are a fuckin retard to me. Don't like it? Bite me fan boy!

  • *bite me fanboy* Ok you just proved how much of a loser is by saying bite me.. and how am i fanboy? GOOF

  • and you sound like you like to swallow your fathers sperm, gargle 888000 lmao dont be jealous because fox cant sit still but will always command more respect than you ever will fag

  • Comment removed

  • WTF IS UR FUCKING PROBLEM?!

  • E s muy triste para mi verlo asi, conosco de cerca esta enfermedad ya que mi abuelita la padece... !!!animo algun ia todas la enfermedades desapareceran del mundo!!

  • In this interview alone his symptoms got progressively worse. Look how he started with uncontrollable legs and ended up with his whole body going a bit haywire...

  • I love Michael J. Fox!!

  • o.o

  • Unfortunately, ignorance, prejudice and stupidity are part of all societies. Rush Limbaugh is the very paradigm of this sad and frustrating reality.

  • I'm donating today!

  • its so hard watching him sit there in his awkward movements talking about this. Do u see how hard he is trying to sit still, hes almost gonna rip his leg off trying to hold on to it. I dont pity him but i do find it saddening. He is a respectable person.

  • i love mj fox...honestly, we need a friggin cure already. ffs... its hard watching someone you admire degenerate. just plain sucks.

    he has alot of guts to come on tv the way he did. *thumbs up*

  • Maybe it's a reaction to the medicine like Mike said, but I have never seen him this bad before... Tragic.

  • If anyone wants to joke about Parkinson's, come to my house and do it in front of me.

  • Right on, RandomPurpose. I got your back.

  • It really makes me sad to see him like that. such a great person! he is like a god.

  • Rush can kiss my ass! Michael is so much of a greater person.

  • What he says rings true to me.

  • your a great guy Michael

  • He is such an amazing man!

    Not only is he a brilliant actor but he is so brave to do what he is doing. Showing the world the true effects of Parkinson's and doing everything he can to fund the search for a cure. Well Done Michael!

  • Rush fucking Limbaugh is a POS asshole who, as human, doesn't hold a candle to Michael J Fox.

  • what an amazing man. i love him hes trulky one of the bests! I love his biography hes so amazing

  • Michael is Canadian. He is doing what anyone would do is to help others understand MS. There is no cure as yet.

  • Parkinson's

  • You're all right, this is an amazing person, on screen and off. Thank you, Mr. Fox, for countless happy hours of growing up on your adventures. Thank you for being a stand-up guy. Thank you for being a role model. Get well soon, a.k.a., cure come quick!

  • What an amazing man!

  • Michael J. Fox truly you trukly are a hero. God bless you, Michael. You and your family.

  • This man is a hero!

  • that's gotta be MADDENING, constant, uncontrollable shaking...

    my grandma died of parkinsons, very very sad.

  • wow im really sorry

    my grandfather is on the vurge of dying from it too

  • hes amazing

    god bless

  • don't fucking joke about parkinson's

  • just wait until you end up getting it you fucking heartless piece of shit

  • God Bless that man

  • love this guy

  • wow, he is such an inspiration. i admire his courage, his passion, his thoughtfulness....the things he had to say was so genuine, smart, and just...he has so much respect that he chooses not to stoop down to the level of mocking or criticizing. michael j fox is THE MAN ..god bless him !

  • come on guys, BARACK, Make stem sell research legal. Come on, I want this guy cured. I love Michael, hes a great actor and a very nice person.

  • i hate that he has 2 deal with that his whole life i mean he had his whole life ahead of him

  • My grandmother had parkinson's. It is truely a tough thing for someone to go through. This upsets me becuase it reminds me of my own grandmother's struggle. I feel for michaael j fox but at the same time i have great admiration for him

  • oops didnt mean the wud in i wud luv him soz lol

  • Kudos to Michael for having the guts to go on national television and talk so frankly about his disease.

    Like he said, "I don't want your pity." And I don't feel sorry for him; I just know he needs our help! Couldn't we please stop all of the political fights on these comments and instead, do like he said: "Respect each other." I, for one, feel that we should put our energy towards finding a cure for terrible diseases like this one, no matter the method, and respect people like Mike.

  • shit this is so fucking mest up i love this guy even though im 13 and a guy hes still a good man(NO HOMO) this means there could be no back to the future 4 its sad to watch l this guy use to rock on bttf i mean playing the guitar go charlie go go go charlie be good wow this is sad

  • dude i totally kno wht u mean i wud luv him 2 and im 13. and i watched bck to the future the other day and this is quite upsetting :(

  • Why the fuck did THIS AWESOME HUMAN have to have this disease. I't always the nice guy. Why coudn't a true ass hole suffer instead of this man. And like he said he has the right to options to actually heal him, not pray to god.

  • Because there's no rhyme or reason for anyone's pain and suffering. No one is special and, ultimately, we will all live and die in vain.

  • so true, so very true

  • good point dude

  • I pray that he comes into a saving relationship with Christ, and I admire hes bravery .......

  • My mom says hes gonna die if they dont find a cure. Is that true?

  • You die with Parkinsons, not of it. However, there are a lot of ancillary things that prove fatal for people with Parkies, such as pnemonia.

  • aww i cant watch this! its so sad :[

  • Yes, really. Does he always sit like that?

  • i dont think he can help sitting like that :[ its part of the disease! im guessing he always sits like that unless hes under a very powerful medication

  • Michael, I will STILL hang your picture on my wall.

    Great Man

  • No disrespect? He's not doing it on purpose.

    NO DISRESPECT but people like you need to open your eyes and actually think, really hard, about what exactly that man and so many others are going through. Imagine not being able to control your own body. Just think about it, really hard.

  • Good noble attempt, but some people don't wanna think things through. You are trying to explain somebody that 2+2 is not 5, it's 4, and they wouldn't agree.

  • So sad

  • Poor guy. That 'Rush Limbaugh' is a twat. Of course people with diseases shouldn't be immune to criticism, but that doesn't mean you should target them.

  • nossa é uma...... nao tenho palavras mais espero que um dia descubram a cura do mal de Parkinson

  • Me da mucha lastima ver como esta. Pero estoy seguro de que saldra adelante. Es mi actor preferido desde que vi teenwolf. Michael, eres lo mas.

  • michael j fox is a true saint.not a bad bone in his body.its a shame that someone so nice that is so famous and has caused no trouble has to deal with this.why doesnt pieces of shit like oj,nick nolte,george bush,dmx and many other pieces of low life shit have any real bad luck.

  • lo que hace el llena de esperanza a

    cualquiera

  • michael siempre sera una estrella para mi mas ahora que es cuando mas esta luchando con su fundacion para encontrar una cura yo se que estan cerca y no tengo duda alguna que la encontraran es un gran gran hombre y yo se que nunca se aprovecharia de su enfermedad para simpatizar o ganar gente, esto es algo muy serio y aunque limbaugh hace su trabajo es un tema muy delicado de tocar no tiene derecho alguno de opinar cosas asi Lo que ase michael andrew fox es admirable
  • Oh man, that was hard to watch. He's amazing. I hope we find a cure for this disease.

  • Mike is correct.

    We need politicians who will enable scientists to study and cure diseases.

  • wow, I really liked listening to him and his excellent responses! Really well-worded! I felt so, so sorry for him, watching him. I hope cures come for people like him! For all people in any situation anything like that! Fucking diseases!

  • he will always be Mike just plain old Mike or to me "marty" from Back to The Future Movies and he is still a man that is trying to make a diffence.

  • would Michael J. Fox still move from the parkinson disease if he was asleep ?

  • he man, they have to drug him hard so he can sleep

  • aww idc i still love his movies and i support him and i wish that i can find a cure or donate money to do it i have been donating money but no luck they were close but didnt happen one day we will find a cure to all deises or they will al go away i hope lol but ya

  • I heard something about hospitals now saving the umbilical cord cause it may save you in later life, Is this what his talking about ? Cause i only heard this on the news a few days ago.

  • ...

    :(
