Thirty years after his diagnosis, Michael J. Fox has outlived every early prediction. His body shows the cost—surgeries, scars, sudden falls, and relentless pain. He appears smaller, his movements less controlled, shaped by a spinal operation, a tumor, and shattered bones. When he says, “It’s getting tougher,” the words reflect years of endurance rather than complaint.
What remains unbroken is his resolve to keep showing up. In “Still,” Fox lets the world see the tremors, the stumbles, and the deep fatigue, alongside a humor that refuses to disappear. He doesn’t offer false hope or neat conclusions. He shows life as it is now—hard, honest, and uncertain.
Instead of promising miracles, Fox offers something rarer: the bravery to live truthfully in a failing body, to be seen without disguise, and to keep choosing hope even when strength fades.
