Michael J. Fox on Wednesday watched news coverage about his death unfold in front of his own eyes. That left him wondering: \u201cHow do you react when you turn on the TV and celebrity.land is reporting your death?\u201d<\/p>\n
The beloved \u201cBack to the Future\u201d and \u201cFamily Ties\u201d star answered his own query via Threads, issuing a call-out post wrapped in some snark and plenty of grace. celebrity.land on Wednesday stirred concerns about the 64-year-old Emmy winner\u2019s health after it erroneously published an article a video titled \u201cRemembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox,\u201d according a screenshot published by TMZ.<\/a> Fox, who has been living with Parkinson\u2019s for more than 30 years, has been the subject of death hoaxes<\/a> over the years. <\/p>\n celebrity.land swiftly deleted its worrying posts and confirmed to multiple<\/a> outlets<\/a> that \u201cthe package was published in error.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cWe have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family,\u201d the network said in a statement. <\/p>\n Fox debunked the reports and offered a number of apt reactions to learning about one\u2019s own death. <\/p>\n \u201cDo you … A) switch to MSNBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour scalding hot water on your lap, if it hurts you\u2019re fine,\u201d he wrote on Threads, \u201c(C) Call your wife, hopefully she\u2019s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year. (E) Ask yourself wtf?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI thought the world was ending, but apparently it\u2019s just me and I\u2019m OK,\u201d he continued. \u201cLove, Mike.\u201d<\/p>\n Fox went public with his Parkinson\u2019s disease in 1998, sharing that he had been diagnosed seven years earlier. Since then, the actor has become a staunch activist for Parkinson\u2019s research, launching his eponymous foundation in 2000<\/a>. In recent years, the \u201cGood Wife\u201d and \u201cShrinking\u201d actor has contemplated on his mortality, telling \u201cCBS News Sunday Morning\u201d in 2023 that he doesn\u2019t see himself making it to 80. Later that year he also told Town & Country <\/a>\u201cone day I\u2019ll run out of gas\u201d and that he would \u201callow myself that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf I were to pass away tomorrow, it would be premature,\u201d he said at the time, \u201cbut it wouldn\u2019t be unheard of. And so, no, I don\u2019t fear that.\u201d<\/p>\n Clearly, death hasn\u2019t arrived yet nor has it robbed Fox of his ability to joke about it. On Threads, he wasn\u2019t the only comedian to poke fun at the false report. <\/p>\n Kathy Griffin chimed in, replying to Fox: \u201cYou\u2019re a helluva ghost.\u201d<\/p>\n Times staff writer Emily St. Martin contributed to this report. <\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.latimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Michael J.
