Michael J. Fox Reunites With ‘Back to the Future’ Costar Christopher Lloyd: ‘Man, That’s Heavy’

Two stars of the hit movie Back to the Future gave us all a present by reuniting more than four decades after the original film’s release.

Michael J. Fox took to Instagram on Sunday, March 8, to share a photo of himself having dinner with Christopher Lloyd. The Spin City actor, 64, captioned the image with a note about the upcoming anniversary of Back to the Future and a word of respect for his costar, explaining that he’s got a big birthday coming up.

“Dining with my bestie at the beach. Next year BTTF is 41. Great Scott. Chris will be 88,” Fox wrote. “That’s some serious s**t.”

Lloyd took to the comments section to share his thoughts on turning 88, writing, “Man, that’s heavy.”

The duo starred together in the three films that make up the Back to the Future trilogy. Fox played Marty McFly, a cool young teenager who inexplicably befriended Lloyd’s Doctor Emmett “Doc” Brown, a mad scientist who cracked the secret to time travel, only to get Marty trapped in time throughout the three films.

This wasn’t the first time the former costars caught up: According to the Daily Mail, they were previously spotted dining together in Santa Barbara, California, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Lucky’s Montecito, a steakhouse that’s well-known in the area.

Despite previously returning from acting, Fox has been in the public eye more and more lately amid his role on season 3 of the Apple TV series Shrinking, where he plays a Parkinson’s patient who befriends Harrison Ford’s character, who is also battling Parkinson’s.

Fox has been an outspoken awareness advocate since coming forward publicly about his own real-life diagnosis with the condition back in 1991.
