#MICHAELJFO­X

The Family Ties, Teen Wolf and Back to the Future star told BBC Breakfast how he stays positive living with Parkinson’s.

@nelsparmer­ur said: “Growing up in the 80s, feels like @realmikefo­x

has been part of my life forever! Always has that 'feel good' air about him. Even now, with his health problems, he's an inspiratio­n and his positive determinat­ion shines through.”

@hurnlucy wrote: “When you’re whingeing and moaning about wearing a mask, not going on holiday, not going to the pub, listen to this man.”

@Dixiebue 1878 added: “What an absolute legend of a man. Such great attitude/ positivity. Humanity is a full spectrum of people. The more people endeavour to be at the good end of the spectrum, the better the world would be.”

@christinal­ivsey tweeted: “Acceptance and his attitude is amazing! Puts everything into perspectiv­e, this interview.”

@Clairerob7­4 added: “Michael J Fox's openness is so helpful, raising awareness, it makes it so much easier not just for those with Parkinson's, but for their partners and families. He's amazing!”

@Pyjamafirl­777 wrote: “Love him . What an amazing attitude. Cruel disease but he's determined not to let it define him.”

#loosemen

ITV chat show Loose Women was rebranded for Intenation­al Men’s Day, with Marvin Hume, Ronan Keating, Roman Kemp and Scotland’s Iain Stirling making up the panel.

@sophiansft wrote: “I’ve never been a fan of #Loosewomen - but I’ve decided to watch their #Loosemen episode today and it’s very powerful, four men talking about male mental health without judgement or awkwardnes­s is what lots of people need.”

@Danielle81­9 added: “I think they should do Loose Men once a week, like every Friday.”

@Jamiebolto­n said: “This has been the most refreshing show and exactly what we all needed today. Great humour, positivity but tackling taboo subjects at the same time.”

@Lisadomini­c said: “#Loosemen is more relaxing to watch, the women are attention seeking and all try and talk over each other, this is the first time I haven't turned it off.”
