'Chicks dig the curls!'

He completed the look with a pair of dark sunglasses and strutted around with his wife on his arm. Pollan, meanwhile, donned a stunning green-and-black pants suit.

'Pity is a benign form of abuse'
Fox opened up about his living with Parkinson's at SXSW, noting how the disease had prevented him from pursuing many things in life. However, he said he had no regrets about the life he has lived -- remaining positive in the face of illness and hoping to inspire others with his new film. The actor explained his philosophy of persisting through hardships in life.
"Pity is a benign form of abuse. I can feel sorry for myself, but I don't have time for that. There is stuff to be learned from this, so let's do that and move on," he said. "I can feel sorry for myself, but I don't have time for that," Fox reflected, adding that he hoped to show his fans how grateful he was for their unending support.
'We understand each other'
Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at a young age. While he did not publicly disclose the diagnosis for a while, he did open up to his wife about it. Pollan took it in stride and decided to stick by her man regardless of how bad things might get. "We understand each other," the actor said.
He added, "And if you go through something like I am going through, just have someone that you are going to look at and know that they know [what you're dealing with]. She is my best friend and she is still sexy as hell as she is great." Fox and Pollan have four children together, namely, Sam, Esme, and twins Aquinnah and Schuyler.
