Michael J. Fox, 64, has reassured fans he is "ok" after CNN accidentally aired a tribute video on Wednesday, April 8, leading to a death scare. The "Back to the Future" star humorously questioned on Threads how one reacts to seeing their own death reported, concluding, "I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok." CNN issued an apology, stating the package was published in error and has been removed from their platforms. The tribute highlighted Fox's career, his advocacy for Parkinson's research since his 1991 diagnosis, and his 2022 Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Fox's representative confirmed he is "doing great" and recently appeared at PaleyFest.
