The comment came on “CBS Sunday Morning” after Jane Pauley asked the actor about a speech he made when longtime friend Woody Harrelson presented Fox with an honorary Oscar at the 2022 awards show.
“We did some damage,” Fox said while Harrelson, 61, laughed onstage at the Academy Awards last year. “We did some damage in the ’80s.”
Pauley then questioned Fox — who reportedly drank cobra blood with Harrelson in Thailand in the late 1980s — about whether it was possible that he actually did do some “damage
to himself.
“I mean, there’s so many ways that you can … that I could’ve hurt myself,” said Fox, 61. “I could’ve hit my head. I could’ve drank too much at a certain developmental period.”
Fox, who was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 29, believes Parkinson’s to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
“Most likely I think is that I was exposed to some kind of chemical. What we say is that genetics loads the gun and environment pulls the trigger,” added the “Teen Wolf” star.
Since his diagnosis, Fox has become one of the leading advocates for fighting the disease and set up the Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2000 to help fund studies and educate the public.
