Meg Ryan, 63, steps into the spotlight with a rare public appearance and sparks controversy

Meg Ryan, 63, made a rare public appearance to support Michael J. Fox at a screening of his documentary “STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie” about his battle with Parkinson’s disease. Ryan, who has kept a low profile in recent years, was spotted smiling alongside her friend at an event in New York City two years ago.

However, her appearance sparked online debate. Some fans criticized her changed appearance and speculated about plastic surgery. Despite previous denials, Ryan’s even complexion prompted harsh comments from social media users. One remarked, “Plastic surgery is for Frankenstein.”

Ryan had already addressed this negativity in a 2015 interview, saying, “Being a hater is pretty stupid.” At the event, she appeared in good spirits and posed for photos with Billy Murray and Elvis Costello.

Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at the age of 29, spoke about his ongoing battle with the disease in a recent interview. He expressed that living with Parkinson’s is becoming increasingly difficult and recounted his experience with spinal surgery and the physical challenges he now faces. Despite his health issues, Fox remains a strong advocate for Parkinson’s awareness.
