He stated that he had “a sort of rocky time” for the previous three and a half years as a result of hip and shoulder replacement surgeries.
He underwent a brain scan as well because his feet were shuffling while he was walking. He was diagnosed as having Parkinson’s disease by medical professionals. Fortunately, I discovered I had it late in life, and they claim you only ever make very slow, if any, progress. As a result of taking the appropriate medications, I’m fine. My stand-up performance is over. I’m concentrating solely on my acting and writing. ”.
