Back to the Future stars send fans wild with rare reunion 37 years after film's release

Back to the Future stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Tom Wilson sent fans wild with a rare reunion selfie – nearly 40 years after the first film's release.

The Hollywood icons were attending a fan convention in Portland, Oregon over the weekend when they 'broke the internet' with a sweet snap.

Tom, 63, known for his role of bully Biff Tannen clutched the camera as he sat alongside the Marty McFly, Dr Emmett Brown and Lorraine Baines-McFly actors.

Michael, 61, Christopher, 84, and Lea, 61, were all-smiles as they joined Tom for the super rare selfie – sending shell-shocked fans into a frenzy.

Lea shared the snap, along with other video clips from the star-studded event on Saturday, penning in her caption: "Wow, honestly had the best time today with my #bttf family."

She added: "So many fun fan moments too and a llama."

In her Instagram she posed for more pictures with Michael, who played her on-screen son who he meets as a teenager when travelling back to the 50s.

The Marty McFly also shared a reunion snap on his Instagram story, showing the actors sat together as he wrote: "I love being at these FanExpo events.

"Seeing some of my favorite people like Lea, Tom, Chris and all you #bttf heads. Heavy."

Tom also posted a selfie, penning alongside his post: "Okay, so this happened. 2023."

Fans couldn't really believe what they were seeing, as one wrote on Instagram: "Wow I love seeing you all together." While a second said: "Everybody looks great."

Another said: "I never thought I would ever see the BTTF cast in person made my millennium." With a fourth writing: "Looks like a good time was had and I know the Fans were ecstatic."

In more content shared by Lea, she is seen interacting with 'Doc' Brown actor Christopher as she jokes: "Look who's here. Look what the cat dragged in."

In another clip with Tom, he is seen saying: "I love this lady. It's so great to see you. You're so fabulous." To which she replied: "I'm a butthead, right?"

He joked back, playfully knocking on her head, saying: "Hello, anybody home?"

The big reunion comes after Michael, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, revealed having a year of "struggle" as he suffered numerous broken bones in his body.

In an interview with PEOPLE last year, Fox opened up about how his health struggles got "worse" over the last year and how his recovery is progressing.

"It got worse, I broke my cheek, then my hand, then my shoulder, had a replacement shoulder put in and broke my (right) arm, then I broke my elbow", he explained.
