Michael J. Fox admitted that maintaining his legendary dark sense of humor is actually a bit of work. The actor told People that it’s “hard for me” but “I gotta keep it intact.”
Fox spoke to the outlet at his annual A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s fundraiser Saturday. He also said that his brand of humor helps him break through barriers with others when conversations get difficult. “That’s true. And it’s okay,” he explained. “Let’s embrace that and make a difference.”
This year’s gala event was hosted by Denis Leary and featured a performance by Stevie Nicks.
