Michael J. Fox, celebrated for his acting career, holds fatherhood as his most profound achievement. He and his wife, Tracy Pollan, have raised four children: Sam, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, and Esmé.
Fox's children, now adults, have learned invaluable life lessons like empathy and resilience, partly due to navigating life alongside his Parkinson's diagnosis, which he received in 1991. This personal journey was explored in his documentary, "Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie."
