Parkinson’s disease affects the body’s nervous system and causes tremors, muscular rigidity and loss of balance. Medication can help control the symptoms but there is no cure.
Michael, who wore black-rimmed glasses, appeared in good spirits, as he made his way down the street ahead of his meal.
Earlier this month, Michael had an emotional reunion with his Back To The Future co-star Christopher Lloyd, almost 40 years after the sci-fi fantasy film saga was released, reuniting to talk of their previous adventures.

In June, the star shared how his illness impacted his acting career and the type of projects he now takes.
While appearing on Mike Birbiglia’s ‘Working It Out‘ podcast he admitted that remembering lines has become harder since he was first diagnosed.
‘When I did the spinoff from The Good Wife, which is The Good Fight, I couldn’t remember the lines. I just had this blank, I couldn’t remember the lines,’ he stated.

The Canadian star revealed that he didn’t struggle with his lines when he was younger, as he reminisced on his role on Family Ties, an NBC sitcom that he starred on from 1982 to 1989.
‘I’d go, “I’m in. Mallory, get off the phone.” And I knew it, like in an instant, and it continued to be that way for me,’ the actor said.
‘I have 70 pages of dialogue on a [Brian] De Palma movie, and knowing that a hugely expensive Steadicam shot depends on me knowing the lines — not a trickle of sweat on my brow,’ he added, referring to the 1989 film Casualties of War, where he starred alongside Sean Penn.
Fox admitted that he no longer take projects with a lot of lines: ‘I can’t remember five pages of dialogue. I can’t do it,’ he said. ‘So I go to the beach.’
