Michael J Fox reunited with Back to the Future co-star Christopher Lloyd 32 years on

Michael J Fox is reunited with Back to the Future’s Christopher Lloyd.

Fox, 61, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, was all smiles as he chatted with Lloyd, 83, who played eccentric scientist Doctor Emmett Brown or “Doc” in the classic film.

The actors came together to reminisce about the popular film trilogy, in which Fox played Marty McFly. The first film opened in 1985 with the third in 1990.

Lloyd said on stage of his co-star: "There was immediate chemistry, as they say.”

The duo also praised the recent Back To The Future: The Musical.

“They could have fallen into a trap imitating us,” Fox noted, “But they made the characters fully realized on their own. I’m gonna go when I come to New York.”

Fox also discussed his work with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

“Parkinson’s is the gift that keeps on taking—but it’s a gift, and I wouldn’t change it for anything…People like Chris have been there a lot for me, and so many of you have.

"It’s not about what I have, it’s about what I’ve been given — the voice to get this done, and help people out.”
