Though Michael J. Fox is an award-winning actor with several parts under his belt, being a father is arguably his most proud job to date.
In addition, he shared his finest parenting advice with the source, “Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, ‘Give me five minutes, give me 10 minutes,’ it’ll be 15, it’ll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you.”, he said.
He added, “I’ve never gotten up to see something one of my kids wanted to show me and not been rewarded.”
The actor revealed his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis to the public seven years after he had the diagnosis in 1991. He discussed his family life and the impact of the sickness in a 2009 interview with Good Housekeeping.
“If I’m reaching for something, they’ll just do it and carry on, [They have learned] empathy, resilience, and also sorting out what’s important from what’s not — things like vanity.”, he stated of his children.
All four of Fox’s adult children are featured on his Instagram account, and the family is very close to him.
