Back in May, the 64-year-old and Bill Murray were spotted courtside for the Knicks' matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The outing also included a boatload of other celebs like Tracy Morgan in full Knicks gear, along with a star-studded crowd of Ben Stiller, Timothée Chalamet, and Ciara.
Fox recently opened up about his long battle with Parkinson's disease on The View, revealing the emotional toll it took early on. "People think I got diagnosed, and I said, ‘okay, let's cure this disease,'" he shared. "I got diagnosed, I went into a serious tailspin and really had a hard time. My family, I kind of wasn't there for them and I was drinking a lot and just bad."
He noted that his turnaround came years later when he embraced his diagnosis and said, "I really studied it and really thought about the mental health aspect of having a disease like that… Seven years later I came out and told the public that I had it and the response was too great and I thought, this is a great opportunity. I have this chance to do this in life to make a difference so I wanted to seize it." His openness has helped his foundation raise billions toward Parkinson's research.
