Michael J. Fox explains why he no longer accepts roles with too much dialogue

Michael J. Fox announced sad news!

Barely 60 years old, the actor can no longer support roles with long dialogues because he has memory problems.

He announced his decision on Mike Birbiglia's Working it Out podcast.

Suffering early from Parkinson's disease, he had announced it in 1998. The disease, which progresses slowly, did not affect his career for more than fifteen years, and the public appreciated him in series like

The Good Wife

,

Boston Justice

or his show

The Michael J. Fox Show

.

He portrayed characters who suffered from the same degenerative disease as he did in real life.

And that lasted until about two years ago.

But today, he admits that he “cannot remember five pages of dialogue”.

He realized this on the set of

The Good Wife

spinoff .

“I had a blank, I couldn't remember the lines.

But what's really reassuring is that I didn't panic.

I thought to myself 'well, that's how it is.

I go forward''.

A key part of this process is memorizing the lines, and I can't do that.

“, he revealed.

The actor has created a foundation for Parkinson's disease, but he knows he won't see any significant advances in treatment.

He declares himself "happy" and assures us that he does not fear death.

Eric Roberts denies rumors that he is at war with his sister Julia

Eric Roberts explained, in a Behind The Velvet Rope podcast interview with David Yontef, that he isn't estranged from his sister Julia Roberts as the press has suggested for years.

“Julia and I have always gotten along well,” said the 54-year-old comedian, who recognizes, however, that they do not necessarily agree on everything, as the site notes.

According to Eric Roberts, the rumor was caused by a clumsiness on his part during an interview in 1990, when the film  

Pretty Woman

was released with his younger sister as the star.

While he himself was interviewed for his role in another film, the journalist was only interested in the performance of Julia Roberts.

A little annoyed, the young man then launched a joke, which he still finds very funny today: “Hey, excuse me.

Can we talk about me?

The press only saw tensions in the siblings, and since Eric Roberts avoids talking about his sister's career in public, the rumor of problems between them has been maintained throughout the last thirty years!
