David Letterman - Michael J. Fox's 'Back' Story

[MrDirectorMan18]

why isnt he moving around like n the Katie Couric interview

[devonhutchison]

i think we can all say he is a great guy a good man and a nice dad who has a good wife

[Ner4zzurr0]

He looks so much better now than in the movie in 2015 ! MJF <3

[cagmito76]

good to see him again after growing up with his films hes a big loss in tv and films.

[jallar4]

michael's head to body ratio

[Shilo83]

Man I love this guy. Looks like he was holding up well there with his condition!

[FelixFigWatkins]

Michael J. Fox you are an inspiration...

[CenkIsAdorable]

Jesus dude, lay of the caffeine.

[doctora1970uk]

Respond to this video... HE has parkinsons... youre sucha idiot

[CenkIsAdorable]

@doctora1970uk You're actually an idiot for not realizing I'm a troll.

[doctora1970uk]

@CenkIsAdorable Trolling about something like that.... do you not have a heart

[CenkIsAdorable]

@doctora1970uk God stop being such a pussy. The day someone tells me what I can and CANNOT make fun of is officially the day freedom of speech is dead.

[doctora1970uk]

@CenkIsAdorable nope... you can talk about it... you can give your opinion but dont make fun of it... Its terrible thing to do... there is nothing wrong with giving your opinion... just please dont make fun of things like that

[CenkIsAdorable]

@doctora1970uk Why not? Because Parkinson's a bad disease? Is It worse than AIDS? Herpes? So why can I make fun of disease X and not disease Y? Is it alright to make a joke about Cerebral Palsy?

It's just a fucking joke kid. It's not LITERAL. Stop being such a politically correct douche bag and lighten up.

[doctora1970uk]

@CenkIsAdorable Im a pretty chill person but it seems wrong to make fun of people like that,,,, and it is wrong... i never said its okay to make fun of other desieses.... but if the comical aproach somehow makes you deal with things better than go ahead and knock yourself out... keep going mate

[CenkIsAdorable]

@doctora1970uk *facepalm*

So if I make fun of AIDS that means I must be making fun of Magic Johnson right? Kid, calm down, it's called satire. It's just a joke. Comedy is not meant to be literal. Watch some George Carlin kid, that guy made fun of everything and never regretted a second. 

[doctora1970uk]

@CenkIsAdorable sorry but at first i thoguht you were serios and genuenly and asshole... and i know its comedy ive watched gym jefferies and everything... have a lovely day

[PhillyDippy5]

[iamtheschoolnerd]

Mr Fox is a true hero forever I am 19 and look up to him he is like my friend even though he don't know me. I hope to some day meet him and give him the novel I wrote just for him he is a amazing man with a loving heart

[Jorgie0101]

Why does CBS have adds on every single damn video??

[corrupt200]

@Jorgie0101 because they are not nice people

[ReturnOfJackDawson]

great man, i think he got more control.

[corrupt200]

@ReturnOfJackDawson and new drug developments are coming up; and as a celeb he must be getting the best treatment possible for his PD.

One thing's for sure he still looks good for someone who is gonna be 50 this june.

[ReturnOfJackDawson]

@corrupt200 he does look great for his age. By the way, did you see brad pitt at cannes this year? Looks like a total douchebag.

[losbanosmonkey]

TEEN WOLF!! :)

[n60a]

best actoooooooooor . . . my favorite

[futurestoryteller]

I think they freeze these adverts so you have to refresh them, so they can get more views...

[skot66]

Great guy...

[fullclip16117]

WHAT the FUCK is with these advertisements?

[pinkpuma24]

8D <-----Does anybody else's face look like this when they're watching him?

[DerrvilleProductions]

@pinkpuma24 Cant say that my face looks like a penis while watching Fox.

[pinkpuma24]

@DerrvilleProductions Lol. Actually it's a huge smile.

[lucasfunkt]

Argh cunting ads. 

[xSUBn]

Applause for Teen Wolf - earned, brilliance of comedy/drama/sci-fi of Back To Future - duly noted, complexity of the role in Bright Lights, Big City - a must see, courage of MJF to be more that a voice for all parkinson suffers but also shine as an individual as a loving husband and father in the fragile world of Hollywood - Priceless.

[oneawesomefreak1]

god, 49 and still adorable. What a great guy. He's my idol, y'know? I've read all of his books, and his acting career still amazes me. I'm 13, born nearly a decade after he took off. He's just an amazing person and actour and father and philosophists.

[jozenovak111]

TEEN WOLF!!!! (standing ovation)

[verbod]

wow, he drinks before going to Letterman ! Damn canadians !

[Enigma1788]

@verbod What an ignorant jerk you are! Fox has Parkinsons! If you don't know what you are talking about then don't say anything as it makes you look foolish in the end.

[verbod]

@Enigma1788

lol, you are amazingly stupid , lol. Are you american ?

[mistermarcusgmail]

A forced ad in a YouTube video?  Really?

[Fann1MichaelJackson]

CAN SOMEONE WRITE ME IN A MESSAGE ALL HE SAID???CAUSE IM SPANISH AND I CAN UNDERSTAND HIM ONLY LISTENING THANK YOU!!!!!

[mistermarcusgmail]

@Fann1MichaelJackson Summary: He was doing Family Ties, Meredith Baxter got pregnant, he did Teen Wolf and wasn't really happy with the role, Spielberg was screening for BTTF at that time, Eric Stoltz wasn't working out, he was offered the script, reviewed it quickly and accepted the position.

[Fann1MichaelJackson]

@mistermarcusgmail THANKS A LOT!!!! LOL

[thest3alth]

Michael J Fox is a shining example of people who can change the world. :)

[verbod]

@thest3alth

what did he changed ?

[thest3alth]

@verbod Nothing, but he's a rare sight of optimism in this world.

That and he campaigned for stem cell research and other methods of curing parkinsons.

[nikiconrad]

@thest3alth He changed perceptions ... of Parkinson's, of stem cell research, of what being "sick" looks like. He changed Congress, he changed voters' minds, he changed so many people's outlook on life. He changed how much money is being funnelled into a cure for degenerative neurological diseases. He changed the model of an NPO. He *has* changed the world, albeit in ways more subtle, sometimes, than can be easily explained or quantified.

He changed me, I can tell you that for damn sure.

[djdogjuam]

Michael seems really nervous, being on Dave Letterman has given him the jitters!

[verbod]

@djdogjuam

he was drunk, idiot ! ;)

[thest3alth]

@verbod No, he has parkinson's disease.

[verbod]

@thest3alth

everyone knows...

[crazy360playa]

@djdogjuam You're Stupid.

[IsaacBTTF]

Great Man! Makes you laugh always! Parkinsons or not he's the Best! Back to the Future Trilogy The Best!

[bpmbrent]

the world loves michael j. fox. true story

[xiheartjohnohh]

@bpmbrent yepp! :D

[solton2]

Search for "lucky man" on audible. It is his autobiography, read by him. One of the best listens I have ever had.

[ZooglealCarpet]

Michael J. Fox is such a wonderful man. What a great guy.

[bmcj199]

Michael controls his parkinsons really well compared to last year! In 2009 it looked like he was having a seizure. Not to be rude, but today he controls it well.

[coyotecub]

@bmcj199

Parkinson's is a horribly unstable disease. A dose of medication today could act very differently tomorrow. And there are nasty rebounds from the medications. So he just happened to be better controlled that day.

[AceTracer]

@bmcj199 People have their good days and their bad days.

[megatom5]

@bmcj199 If I recall from his book he talks about having to take a lot of drugs, some with bad side effects, to make these appearances so that he isn't shaking so badly.

[mpma08]

@bmcj199 He is not controlling it better than in 2009, it just depends on how much medication he takes, i.e. if he had taken less medication for this interview he would behave similarly to whatever 2009 behavior you've seen.

[nikiconrad]

@mpma08 Or the medication was at a different point in the natural "cycle."

[ReturnOfJackDawson]

@bmcj199 he controls it well i agree.

[nikiconrad]

@bmcj199 You don't "control" Parkinson's. You take your medication, you try to time it as well as you can, & you hope for the best. It's not like you can just sit there & think to yourself, "Alright ... stop shaking."

Not to criticize, just to educate.

[waterwind2266]

@bmcj199 It was kind of acting up in his interview yesterday, but you're right. It's a lot more controlled now.

[zomgomgomgz]

he seems so shaky and nervous

[cbrandenburger]

@zomgomgomgz he has parkinsons disease, he cant help it.

[rgmatos2]

rush limbaugh's best friend. =P

[blmurch]

@someuser905 - he has Parkinsons.

[cwtrain]

@someuser905 You fail so unbelievably hard.

[subscribe2scodal]

@cwtrain u taklin about mj fox? u fail for writing that

[ChrisPWilliams]

@subscribe2scodal There's something called a comment reply - something you just did in replying to cwtrain. Cwtrain was replying to someone who said "omfg stop fidgeting"

[unrealtrip]

@someuser905 He has Parkinson's disease.

[shoegazer666]

@unrealtrip y'all got trolled
