Fox News
Ryan Reynolds praised Michael J. Fox in a Time "Most Influential People" tribute for helping Reynolds' father during his 20-year battle with Parkinson's before his death in 2015.
"I know Michael J. Fox. Like, I know him pretty damn well," the 47-year-old began. "He’s funny. He’s warm. He’s handsome and intensely smart. He also falls a lot. Not just because he has Parkinson’s. He falls a lot because he’s unafraid to fly."
The "Family Ties" star was diagnosed with Parkinson’s when he was 29 years old and has become a leading advocate for raising awareness about the disease since.
