Michael J. Fox had a hilarious response to rumors that he had died.
The actor posted on Threads on Wednesday, April 8 to address a hoax claiming that he had passed away. CNN had published an article and video titled, "Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox" which has since been taken down.
"How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?" Fox began on Threads. “Do you … A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour [scalding] hot water on your lap, if it hurts [you ’re] fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, (E) Ask yourself wtf?”
Fox concluded, “I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m OK. Love, Mike.”
A spokesperson for CNN apologized for the error and said in a statement, “The package was published in error; we have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family."
Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991 and retired from acting full time in 2020 as he continues to battle the disease.
“I continued to act for almost 30 years after I was diagnosed. I reached the point where I couldn’t rely on my ability to speak on any given day, which meant I couldn’t act comfortably at all anymore. So, last year I gave it up,” Fox told AARP Magazine in 2021.
The actor publicly revealed his diagnosis in 1998 and established The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research in 2000.
In April 2024, Fox reflected on living with the disease for three decades at the A Country Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s charity gala.
“After 35 years or something since I’ve been diagnosed, this is just my life and I don’t think about it much,” he said at the time. “I don’t even think about [it]. Except that I’m thinking about what we’re going to do as a community to figure this out and find a cure – and short of a cure, [create] treatment centers that are really groundbreaking.”
He added, “Me personally, it’s just who I am, and the way I was built. And I’m necessarily trying to figure it out for me, I’m figuring it out for everybody. But it just is what it is. My life has been a great ride and it continues to be a great ride. And through all the challenges, it comes with all the good stuff.”
