He looked 83 in the films 37-33 years ago though. A lot of people are surprised to learn how young he was when he played the role.

Watch them again. He does not look 83. He looks like a 50 year old in bad old man makeup in part 1 for 10 minutes, then he looks 45 for the rest of the movie. In part 2 they have him literally peel off his bad old man makeup and just say “Well, I got a futuristic facelift” and he looks 50 for the rest of the trilogy.

People just remember the older version of him, which wasn't helped by him keeping the white hair even after his face lift in the second film.

AlbinoHemophiliac t1_irsv9bm wrote

he looks incredible for 83. like not just saying that but his build looks more sturdy and athletic than that of a senior. i’m not sure why, but when famous actors retreat from public view for a couple decades i expect them to come back look aged and haggard, not refreshed and rejuvenated compared to other still working actors their age.

>Rush Limbaugh tried to claim that Michael J Fox was faking the severity of his symptoms

As I recall Rush claimed Michael didn't take his medicine for a couple days. All for the "evil" cause of getting more funding for a degenerative disease that affects over a million people. God, Limbaugh was such a piece of garbage. Even if true, Michael was just showing the real impact of the disease. Rush was caught pushing so many lies in his career for attention I can't even start the list. Fox, meanwhile, remains respected by everyone who has come in contact with him.

mwoodj t1_irq0ikd wrote

In actuality it was more likely that his medication caused the movement seen during the interview. Parkinson’s actually causes rigidity as opposed to the dramatic involuntary movements that people sometimes associated with the condition. The medication improves movement but also causes excess movement as well as tardive dyskinesia which are involuntary movements and tics. It’s all degrees of risk vs. reward when deciding if a medication is worth taking. The whole controversy was based on a misunderstanding of the disease and the effects of the medications.

quadriplegic_cheetah t1_irq5mw4 wrote

Wait so the actual movements made by people with Parkinson’s are the result of the medication itself?

zuron54 t1_irqyy0c wrote

Yes and no. Parkinson's still causes a tremor, rigidity, slowing/shuffling gait, and some other symptoms. Levodopa can cause the irregular movements like above in his trunk, head, arms, and mouth.

It's about balancing too much vs too little of the medication.

Isn't Arnold Schwarzeneggar a Republican? I was too young to understand much when he was the Governator here in California but even if we disagree on some policy items, the guy really seems like a solid dude.

imurphs t1_irq7iyr wrote

Arnold is a bit odd. He’s a Republican, but he also seems to hold a lot of traditionally democrat beliefs. He was (at least originally, idk about now) against gay marriage, but was against a border wall, was shockingly pro-environment (at least compared to republicans in general), proposed universal health insurance in CA, and was pretty outspoken against trump.

Kind of hard to nail him down honestly, but Democrats would probably say he’s a moderate/centrist Republican, and Republicans would probably say he’s a democrat given he didn’t fall in line with trump and was pro-climate.

Fox is one of those rarities. He was in the Brat pack, and bc of the scale of his successes in Family Ties as a #1 network show in the ad wars era of 80s and Back to Future, he was the packs bigger star.

But he never ended up in handcuffs or caught in scandal like Rob Lowe, Kiefer, and the youngins Depp & River.

His LA house was the home court of massive Brat pack parties and still no scandals came out of it and after River Phoenix's death. Fox and the rest of the pack and other Hollywood young partiers went more low key likely bc of their agents advice.

That's what caused so much talk when Dicaprio and "The Pussy Posse" as he and Tobey Maguire called themselves got rolling in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Anyway Fox has had a great reputation on sets. Very professional, isn't late, very diligent. His Spin City run was nothing but glowing reports of his conduct on set.

Chris Loyd has been said to be a joy to work with but some have said he can be very stoic or quiet.

The dude came out of the New York stage/theatre scene of the 60s alongside people like Danny Devito, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Duvall, Gene Hackman, Deniro, and Roy Schneider.

He was a dramatic performer, but loved comedy and since Taxi on TV has never stopped working and always been said to be a cool mutherfucker.

Point being, if there was shittyness in that guys background it would have shown itself by now.

He's been married 5 times and none of his exes have tried to burn his image so that's gotta mean. Something haha.

I started a business nearly 13 years ago that has done exceptionally well.

I always liked the stories like this where huge stars had every reason to be cocky, pushy, and elitist but chose to go the route of professional, helpful, and friendly.

There are a LOT of business owners who taste success and treat their employees like shit, push people around, and stick their nose up at the life they had before winning in the business world.

I’ve consciously worked to avoid that at all costs. I’m a male, but you will never find a single female employee of mine who will ever say I was anything less than professional and equal in my time working with them. I roll up my sleeves and do dirty, hard work right alongside everyone else. At the end of the day, we all go home at the same time.

I want to be remembered as a highlight of someone’s professional life, not as an experience that sucked.

I’ve heard plenty of bad things about Michael J Fox. There are numerous claims that prior to his diagnosis, he was a massive douche.

Then, his illness changed him for the better. Changed his perspective, and he started treating those around him, in both his personal and professional life better.

Who knows what’s true, but I think he had a reputation as being a kind of cocky, cliché a-lister before Parkinson’s.

I think you’re being downvoted because THC doesn’t stop Parkinson’s. It helps alleviate the tremors that are actually a side effect from the medication for Parkinson’s; not the disease itself.

People are downvoting you because not only is it a fairly well known treatment to the public at this point, but Michael J.

I get it, truly. Marijuana has a lot of medical applications that we haven't even begun to tap into yet. It helps so many people every day and could've helped many more people in the past if it weren't for prejudice. But don't you think that someone with his money and influence and connections would've tried that by now? The guy literally has an entire medical foundation for Parkinson's research. It's poor taste to tell someone how to manage their own shit when they clearly have as good of a handle on it as they can and aren't asking for advice.

That’s why I said I hope he’s tried it.. everything you said just proves the insane stigma around it.

Even if someone has a foundation for medical research on Parkinson’s, still doesn’t mean they spend a dollar on cannabis research. None of that is inherent to what you’ve said.

This is a schedule 1 drug on a federal level. If Michael fell victim to any of the propaganda that literally most of his generation was plagued by, he might never care about considering weed medicinal.

Sorry my amazement has just bothered so much of you dipshits. I’ve smoked 16 years, and I never thought it could do things like stop seizures in children and stop tremors in Parkinson’s. You guys all think I’m naive but really it’s all you fucking goofballs think you’re best friends with Michael j fox and can speak on his behalf.

You wanna pretend like cannabis treatment is so accepted yet ordinary doctors wont even prescribe it. Who’s the fucking dipshit here?

I love how Christopher Lloyd doesn't say a single word and MJF still can't keep it together.

Why does Michael J Fox make the best milkshakes?

He uses superior ingredients.

I saw this on Twitter earlier and I can't believe there are people who don't know he has Parkinson's. Someone actually tweeted "Is there something wrong with Michael?" and then a few other people replied that they didn't know either.

What a great moment for Michael and fans. It’s very possible this is the last time the two of them will be at an event like that. It’s not like they were doing it a lot to begin with. Doc Hollywood and Doc Brown.

After hearing Michael J Fox on Marc Marons podcast awhile back and how close to the end he feels he is im just grateful he’s still hanging in there and feels well enough to make appearances

As an 80s kid, nothing and no one was as cool as Michael J Fox. I met him at a golf tournament about 15 years ago and he did not disappoint. He was the nicest person in the room and had every reason not to be.

I feel like everyone in here is an idiot. “Wow cristopher Lloyd looks so good” no duh, he literally has a time machine, watch the films again.

Man, I thought he was getting better. I know stress makes it worse but this is as bad as I’ve seen it on him.

Got to be there in person for this, it was incredible. Michael is still sharp as a tack, so funny. They both clearly have so much affection for one another after all these years, it was wonderful to see.

Fox had that nike colab fundraiser for parkinson's few years back and was well publicised

Damn, that’s so sad to see MJF like that. I really hoped to meet him one day but I guess that’s unlikely to happen with his condition.

Such a beautiful moment. I was at New York Comic Con this past weekend. But sadly, I couldn't be there for this. I wish I had been. Back to the Future is still one of the best movie trilogies of all time. And seeing Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox together is a nice reminder of just how special that movie was and how special these two men truly are. 😊

I was there too and honestly it was a dream come true. It was so beautiful to watch them and they have so much love for one another. They really are legends!

Lets face Lloyd feels the effects of Mike's ailments, so he probably is keeping his health good for the team

Please let these two move on from back to the future. It’s a great movie, they’ve also done other stuff.

Back to the Future has been made to a musical that is going to Broadway in 2023. Their appearance at Comic Con was part of the promotion for the show, which is why this panel was about BttF, not just the actors in general.
