Fox told DiLaura that when the Friends cast started making bank, the late actor donated a large sum of money to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
He said:
"I hope this isn’t indiscreet, but when they first made their big sale and were made millionaires for the rest of their lives, he wrote a big fat check to the foundation."
"We were really early on and trying to find our feet, and it was such a vote of confidence."
Fox shared that the gesture was not only extremely generous but also quite discreet.
"And it wasn’t accompanied by any self-aggrandizing or anything."
"He was just like, 'Take it and do your best.' I loved that."
