Michael J. Fox, the skilled actor, is renowned not just for his performances in films, but also for his role as a devoted father.
He shares four children with his spouse, Tracy Pollan, whom he has been married to for more than three decades. During a conversation with Reader’s Digest, Fox humorously mentioned that at times, it seems like he has five children rather than four!
Fox is a strong advocate for always being present for his children. He stressed the importance of not putting off listening to them, as a short delay can quickly escalate to 15 or 20 minutes, resulting in missing the crucial moment. He consistently makes an effort to be there for his kids, and this approach has never let him down.
Despite receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in 1991, Fox has consistently supported his children. During a 2009 interview, he discussed how his children have developed empathy, resilience, and the skill to focus on what truly matters in life.
