The "Fox" isn't going to put up with anybody talking smack about him, especially when it comes to the likes of Rush Limbaugh. Michael J. Fox recently denied exaggerating the symptoms of his Parkinson's disease for a political campaign ad.

Rush Limbaugh told listeners of his radio station he believed the "Back To The Future" star was "acting" during his appearance on a commercial backing stem cell research.

Michael has hit back at the slurs, telling CBS Evening News, "The irony of it is that I was too medicated. The notion that you could calculate it for effect, that's funny."

In his appearance on the Democrat TV commercial, the actor's body jerks and his head moves from side to side.

Earlier this week, Limbaugh - who has since apologized for his accusations - said, "He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. This is really shameless of Michael J Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."

He added, "This is the only time I've ever seen Michael J. Fox portray any of the symptoms of the disease he has. He can barely control himself."

The 45-year-old was diagnosed in 1991 with the degenerative disorder which affects muscle control, speech and movement.

Since his diagnosis the Hollywood star has been an active stem-cell research campaigner.
