'I hope that, and I feel that, I won’t break as many bones tomorrow. So that’s being optimistic,' the Back to the Future star said (via toofab)
When he began to struggle with his lines, Fox retired from his storied acting career in 2020.
"I sometimes have a fleeting moment of disappointment when a really great joke comes out and lands flat because people can't understand what I’m saying," he said, referring to how his speech has been impacted by the disease."It's not like you can just repeat it. It’s dead on arrival. But you find ways to navigate it."
Though he’s had to learn how to work around the restrictions of his disease, the actor is devoted to remaining positive and spending time with family. "I'm still happy to join the day and be a part of things," Fox continued."I just enjoy the little math problems of existence. I love waking up and figuring that stuff out and at the same time being with my family. My problem is I fall down. I trip over things and fall down and break things. And that’s part of having this. But I hope that, and I feel that, I won’t break as many bones tomorrow. So that’s being optimistic.
