Actors Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd meet again 37 years after the movie premiere that lifted them up

Marty McFly and Emmett “Doc” Brown tweaked the flux capacitor, enabling the reunion 37 years after the premiere of “Back to the Future.” The actors of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd have become friends again and the spark is over: the chemistry between the two continues to work.

Despite the height difference (Lloyd is 1.85 meters tall and Fox is 1.64), the two interpreters are a perfect match as they merge into a hug. A performance of two greats. The couple met again on stage at the New York Comic Con, a convention that brings together comic book lovers and this time it was the perfect excuse for fans of the film to get a shot of nostalgia.

“You’ve given me my whole life,” Fox acknowledged before a crowd who cheered him on and greeted him with fervent applause. The two agreed that the trilogy, a milestone in the history of cinema, had an anthological cast. The good harmony in the cast and an exceptional script, written by four hands between director Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, did the wonder. “The best thing about the movie was working with Chris,” said Fox, who has Parkinson’s, calling his partner “just a genius.”

Nearly forty years after its premiere, the ‘Back to the Future’ saga continues to make money. At the time, it inspired an animated series and a theme park, and today it has turned into a musical that fascinates the two actors. “They could have fallen into the trap of impersonating us, but they allowed the characters to develop on their own,” Fox said.

Michael J. Fox, who announced his retirement two years ago, showed that he is fit. Gone are those times when he resorted to the bottle to get through his illness.

There was something whimsical about the landing on the set that took the couple to the peak of popularity. Michael J. Fox joined the job a month and a half after Zemeckis gave the first swing, as the first choice was Erik Stoltz, whom he replaced. “I didn’t know Michael personally and when I saw him I immediately felt a chemistry,” said Christopher Lloyd.

Michael J. Fox was referring to his illness, which he has lived with for 30 years. “Parkinson’s is a gift, I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” he said. The star was diagnosed with the disease when he was 29 years old. The doctors told him he would be lucky if he could work for another ten years. Though his time is running out, he continues to fight.
