Actor Michael J Fox has opened up about dealing with Parkinson's disease for 25 years.

The 55-year-old actor was diagnosed with the disease and was was told he would be "pretty much disabled" by now, reported Female First.

"I was diagnosed 25 years ago, and I was only supposed to work for another 10 years. I was supposed to be pretty much disabled by now. I'm far from it. This is as bad as I get, and I can still go to the store and go marketing," Fox said.

The actor said he still has balance issues from time to time, but it hasn't stopped him working.
 

"The biggest problem I have now is balance. That's kind of tricky because you fall down a couple of times at 55 and you realise that you're not 25.
