Back To The Future film series star Michael J Fox has said that “optimism is sustainable” in the face of Parkinson’s despite the disease becoming “harder and tougher” to live with.

The 61-year-old activist and former Hollywood actor – who was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s disease a year after Back To The Future Part III was released in 1990 – is also known for the films Teen Wolf and Doc Hollywood along with the series Spin City.
