Michael J Fox has fallen over on stage as he admitted his battle with Parkinson’s is “getting harder”. The 61-year-old actor, known for his portrayal of Marty McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy, also confessed to fans that he is in “intense pain”.
Fox, who was diagnosed with the incurable degenerative brain disorder, said: “I’m in pain, intense pain. ”Parkinson’s disease slowly robs sufferers of the ability to control their bodies.
Fox fell as he joined co-stars Christopher Lloyd, 84, who played Back to the Future co-lead Doctor Emmett Brown and Tom Wilson, 64, who played antagonist Biff Tannen, at a Fan Expo event when he tumbled.
The 61-year-old appeared to catch his foot and fall when walking to the sofa on-stage. Fox fortunately landed on the soft couch.
