The 61-year-old actor, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 at the age of 29, tripped and fell Sunday at a Back to the Future event in Philadelphia. On stage, the star was bowing to saga cast members Christopher Lloyd, 84, and Tom Wilson, 64, when he lost his balance and landed on the couch nearby.
The Stuart Little actor quickly stood up and began a question-and-answer session with his former film partners.
“Michael has Parkinson’s. It’s no secret that people with Parkinson’s fall, his rep told the New York Post. Watching the video, he immediately stands up and continues with the questions and answers. If you have more questions about Michael and living with Parkinson’s, watch his STILL documentary streaming on AppleTV+. »
The fall follows an interview the actor gave to CBS in May, in which he said his battle with the disease has become more difficult. “I’ll never be 80,” he said. It’s getting harder. It gets harder every day. »
► The documentary QUIET was released on Apple TV+ in early May.
