A First Look at Michael J. Fox and Harrison Ford’s New Campaign for Parkinson’s Research Michael J. Fox and Harrison Ford, both nominated for Emmy Awards for their roles in the hit series Shrinking, have joined forces again for a new campaign promoting the Michael J. Fox Foundation. The campaign, which highlights their shared experience with Parkinson’s disease, marks another collaboration between the actors, who both portray characters with the condition on the show. The partnership extends beyond their on-screen work, as they appear together in a recent advertisement for the foundation, which has been a central focus of Fox’s philanthropy since his own diagnosis in 1998. Fox, who recently received an Emmy nomination for his performance in Shrinking, emphasized the importance of social connections in the campaign. “As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized social connections mean so much—Parkinson’s or not,” he told Town & Country. “Shooting Shrinking with Harrison and the friendship we’ve developed reminded me how important those connections are. I hope the authenticity of our friendship comes through in the campaign. We’re using humor and banter to get at what matters. But there’s tremendous seriousness of purpose behind it. We want the community to know that as long as Parkinson’s exists, the Foundation will be here to support everyone living with the disease.” Ford echoed Fox’s sentiments, noting the unique way Fox approaches difficult conversations. “Michael has a remarkable way of making difficult things easier to talk about, and that’s part of what makes working with him and being his friend so special,” Ford said. “We wanted to bring some of that honesty and humor to a conversation that a lot of people may not know how to have.” The campaign is part of the Michael J.#harrison_ford #shrinking #michael_j_fox #michael_j_fox_foundation #debi_brooks
