Michael J. Fox was both surprised and humbled to be named a recipient of the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards, and he has already celebrated the honour with another newly minted laureate: Martin Short. “A couple of months ago, we were both at a Broadway play, and we had dinner afterwards with Eugene Levy, and was really excited about it,” Fox said in an interview with The Canadian Press on Thursday, recalling the outing with Short and “Schitt’s Creek” star Levy, who received the award in 2008.
