Baftas surprise appearance by Michael J Fox leaves audience in tears

Michael J Fox, known for his role in "Back To The Future" and who is currently living with Parkinson's disease, surprised everyone by making an appearance at the Baftas to present the best film award. The 62-year-old actor, who usually avoids public events, appeared on stage in a wheelchair but insisted on standing up at the podium to present the prize to Christopher Nolan's film "Oppenheimer". The audience gave him a standing ovation, and many social media users expressed their emotions, saying they were moved to tears seeing him on stage. Although Fox's own documentary, "Still: A Michael J Fox Movie", was nominated for best documentary, it lost to "20 Days In Mariupol". The Bafta host, David Tennant, introduced Fox on stage, calling him a "true legend of cinema". Fox described cinema as "magic" and explained how it can change people's lives. He emphasized the power of films in bringing people together regardless of their background. Social media users reacted swiftly, expressing their admiration and calling Fox a hero and a wonderful human being. In 2000, Fox founded the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, which has raised more than £1.58 billion according to CBS News. Parkinson's disease, a degenerative neurological condition affecting roughly 128,000 people in England, has been described by Parkinson's UK as the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world.
