....or from EDITING!
He was playing a character. That character didn't have Parkinsons, he had some other disease.
In the ad he was TRYING to show himself as he really is, including his disease and all that it brings with it. This is a young man with a terrible affliction and he wants voters to see what MIGHT be helped if the roadblocks to an avenue for treatment are removed.
Some are acting as though he was playing up his disease. If that were the intent, why not just hire ANY actor to play a person with PArkinsons and REALLY play up the tremors? Hell, get him to fall down or something!
The fact that there might be a drug that would alleviate or even eliminate tremors for a period of time doesn't change the fact that he DOES have the disease. C'mon.
