“Matthew and I had spent some time together over the years,” Michael told ET. “He was a hockey player, a good hockey player, and we played hockey together.”
He was more than that for Michael. Matthew also generously donated a “big fat check” to help his The Michael J. Fox Foundation.
“I hope this isn’t indiscreet… but when they first made their big sale [on their Friends contracts] and were made millionaires for the rest of their lives, He wrote a big fat check to the foundation,” he recalled. “We were really early on and trying to find our feet. And it was such a vote of confidence.”
Michael continued, saying, “And it wasn’t accompanied by any self-aggrandizing or anything, he was just like, ‘Take it and do your best.’ I loved that.”
The actor recently opened up about his battle with Parkin’s disease.
