Recalling the BAFTAs moment, the activist said, "It's still really surprising," and added, "I love it and I appreciate it, but I take it more as recognition of determination and resolve to solve the big problem, and that we all have the power to do whatever it is we can do to move things along." He also said, "I think people are just saying, 'Thanks for hanging in there and going after this.' And I appreciate that."
According to Fox, people responded to his optimism and determination to fight with that standing ovation.

What happened at BAFTAs 2024?
Michael J Fox was introduced by David Tennant who escorted him to the stage on a wheelchair. As soon as the Spin City actor tried to stand up, the hall rose up to give him a standing ovation.
Fox was also joined by his wife of 35 years, Tracy Pollan. She even attended the Tuesday musical gala with him. Fox said this about the event, "The support here is fantastic, and it's nice to mix things up and go country," and added how he feels good to be in Nashville. Despite not thinking about his disease after nearly four decades, the actor says, "I don't even think about [it]. Except that I'm thinking about what we're going to do as a community to figure this out and find a cure -- and short of a cure, [create] treatment centers that are really groundbreaking."
