Pity just another form of victim abuse for Fox and Seoige?

In 1985, as the 24-year-old star of the classic film, Back to the Future, Michael J Fox was at the height of his fame, raucously living a life of luxury with a beverage in both hands.

Now, Fox is trawling the PR trail to promote his new TV show, The Michael J Fox Show. That’s remarkable because Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 and told he would be lucky to be able to work at 40 years of age.
