Michael J. Fox, who was the ‘Marty McFly’ and ‘Doctor Emmett Brown’ of the ‘Back to the Future’ series, which was engraved in the 80s, and Christopher Lloyd met 32 years later.
THEY ARE TOGETHER AFTER YEARS
Years later, Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox participated in the panel at the ‘Comic Con Festival’ in New York. Lloyd and Fox last starred in Back to the Future III, filmed in 1990. The duo did not neglect to hug each other while greeting their fans.
DISEASE PROGRESSED
Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991, was also seen to have physically damaged his body. Michael J. Fox’s slowness in his movements attracted attention due to the progression of his illness.
“IT WAS FUN WORKING WITH HIM”
“The best part of this movie was working with Chris. It was fun working with him,” said Michael J. Fox at the panel where he talked about the ‘Back to the Future’ series. Fox attributed this to the fact that the famous actor was “a genius”.
While the famous actor said that the success of the film was related to the matching of their chemistry, Lloyd also spoke highly of Fox.
THE MOVIE BECOME A PHENOMENAL
‘Back to the Future,’ 1985’s sci-fi, adventure and comedy genre, grossed $380 million after its release.
One of the most successful films of the year with very good reviews, ‘Back to the Future’ is about a young man going from 1985 to 1955 by accident.
Meeting his high school parents, the teenager accidentally attracts his mother’s romantic interest. The young man has to make up for his mistake and go back to 1985 because he prevented his parents from falling in love.
“I’M NOT FEAR OF DEATH!”
On the other hand, Michael J. Fox, who has been fighting Parkinson’s disease for 30 years, talked about his disease.
The famous actor said, “When they ask me if I can get rid of Parkinson’s, I say, ‘I’m 60 and science is hard.’
Fox also said, “If you think you have nothing to be grateful for, keep looking around. You can’t just expect good things to happen and then be grateful for them.”
DIAGNOSED AT 29 YEARS OLD
The Canadian actor, who is the father of four children, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991 at the age of 29. The actor founded the Michael J. Fox Parkinson’s Research Foundation in 2000 to educate the public about the disease and fund research into the fight against the disease.
ABOUT PARKINSON
Parkinson’s disease occurs as a result of the deterioration of cells in the brain that produce a substance called dopamine, which allows brain cells to communicate with each other. Cells that produce dopamine in the brain are responsible for the control, harmony and fluency of movements.
The disease, which manifests itself with slowness in movements, tremors at rest, and psychiatric disorders, is mostly seen in people after the age of 60. However, due to genetic reasons, it can also be encountered in the 40s.
