Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991, Fox praised his children for their empathy and resilience. His Instagram often features his close bond with them. On Mother’s Day 2022, he wrote to Pollan, “Our children are beautiful, sensitive, intelligent, empathetic, independent, compassionate, adventurous, lovely people. That’s your fault.”
Fox’s eldest son, Sam, works in entertainment, and his twins, Aquinnah and Schuyler, have careers in media and education. His youngest, Esmé, is a Duke University student. Fox continues to dedicate his life to Parkinson’s research, raising over $2 billion.
