"Beautiful family and couple. Mike is inspiration ... my dad succumbed to Parkinson's last year. But watching you over the years with [the] disease gave me courage to move on help other Parkinson's families β€οΈβ€οΈ," a fourth user penned, praising the father-of-four for his strength amid his own battle with the disease.
As OK! previously reported, Fox was diagnosed with the incurable illness when he was just 29 years old in 1991. He has recently opened up about his over 30 years of experience dealing with symptoms and how it's affected Pollan.
"She has this disease too in a sense because I do," the 61-year-old, explained in an interview with CBC. "Right from the beginning, before any of this happened, I took this young actress whose career was hopping, she was doing great, she was beautiful, and I made her a single mother and I took her out of the game."

"I always felt bad about that and here I was doing it again with Parkinson's, kind of superimposing my agenda and a trial on her that wasn't hers to endure," Fox added.
