Hollywood actor Michael J Fox is reportedly "doing great" despite his Parkinson's diagnosis.
The 61-year-old was fortunately uninjured after taking a small tumble while appearing at the Fan Expo in Philadelphia on Sunday.
After being introduced at the event, Michael was seen bowing to fellow Back To The Future cast members Christopher Lloyd, 84, and Tom Wilson, 64, who were already on stage for the panel.
He then seemed to lose his footing whilst on the stage at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, with footage from the event showing the actor falling over after his bow.
Despite his fall, Michael's representatives have exclusively revealed that while his disease can cause him to struggle at times, his health is currently good.

Michael spoke about the legacy of the iconic Back to the Future film series during an interview that he did with Entertainment Tonight towards the end of last year.
