Emotional reunion between Christopher Lloyd and Michael Fox, stars of “Back to the Future”

Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd have had an emotional reunion during the New York Comic, 37 years after the premiere of ‘Back to the Future’. It is true that only two years ago there was a virtual meeting of the cast of the legendary Robert Zemeckis film, but this weekend has been very special.

The room broke down in applause when both coincided on stage for the panel dedicated to ‘Return to the future’. Let’s remember that Lloyd is already 83 years old and that Fox announced his retirement He has been an actor for almost two years now because of his Parkinson’s, so any opportunity to see them together again will always be well received. And let’s hope there are still many more.

Fox noted that “the best thing about the movie was working with Chris”while Lloyd joked that Eric Stoltz was initially hired to play Marty McFly and confesses that the first thing he thought when he found out that they were going to replace him was that “I barely lasted the first six weeks, and now I have to go back to work?” do it?”, although he later assured that he was surprised by the great chemistry he had with Fox from the first moment, and that initially he was not at all optimistic about it.

Of course, Fox revealed that his mother, who died just a couple of weeks agoshowed his concern when he told her that he was going to appear in the film, as he feared that he would end up “too tired”, noting that he lived to be that tired.

In addition, the protagonist of ‘The Greedy’ wanted to highlight that “all the cast members of ‘Back to the Future’ were perfectly chosen” and that he was asked to learn to play the guitar to appear in the film, confessing that he learned to do it to impress the girls.

One of the most emotional moments of the night was when Fox was asked about The Michael J. Fox Foundation, the foundation with which, according to him, “I wanted to help other people who, like me, suffer from this ailment”, also describing the disease he suffers as “a gift” that they gave him so that he could help others with the same problem.
