Michael J. Fox got a huge standing ovation during the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics Sunday, as the native Canadian actor highlighted a list of Maple Leaf-born celebs trotted out for the end of the competition.
Fox, who became a superstar in the 80s with hits such as the Back to the Future trilogy and Family Ties series, has been fighting a well-publicized bout with Parkinson's Disease.
The 48-year-old Edmonton native told the crowd he still supports the Canadian hockey team, despite living in the states.
