Michael J. Fox on Wednesday watched news coverage about his death unfold in front of his own eyes. That left him wondering: “How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?”
The beloved “Back to the Future” and “Family Ties” star answered his own query via Threads, issuing a call-out post wrapped in some snark and plenty of grace. CNN on Wednesday stirred concerns about the 64-year-old Emmy winner’s health after it erroneously published an article a video titled “Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox,” according a screenshot published by TMZ. Fox, who has been living with Parkinson’s for more than 30 years, has been the subject of death hoaxes over the years.
