Lewis said his health took a turn shortly after wrapping a recent season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Lewis has played a semi-autobiographical version of himself on the show since 2000.

"I had four surgeries, back to back to back. It was incredible... It was bad luck, but it's life," he said.

Two years ago, Lewis said he also began "walking a little stiffly" and shuffling his feet, resulting in a brain scan from a neurologist that lead to his Parkinson's diagnosis.

"But luckily, I got it late in life, and they say you progress very slowly if at all, and I’m on the right meds, so I’m cool,” he added.

Lewis said that he's "finished with stand-up" and is "just focusing on writing and acting."
