Michael J. Fox is cherished by many for his remarkable acting career, particularly his roles as Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties, Marty McFly in the Back to the Future series, and numerous other projects. Moreover, he’s actively engaged in various philanthropic endeavors. Recently, he was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an achievement that brought further admiration, and his Back to the Future co-stars expressed their support for him.
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending a special event at the White House where President Joe Biden bestowed an honor upon several esteemed individuals. Among them were the illustrious Denzel Washington, the iconic Bono from U2, and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. It goes without saying that the actor from “Spin City” was in excellent company, and fans couldn’t help but express their warm wishes on social media. Joining the chorus of praise was none other than Christopher Lloyd, who brought Emmett “Doc” Brown to life in the “Back to the Future” films. The seasoned actor took a moment to recognize his co-star on X.
Much deserved my dear friend [Michael J. Fox].
I’m torn between admiring the heartfelt message and enjoying the adorable clip from the ceremony that was posted by the Addams Family alum. Another touching message arrived from Lea Thompson, who is well known for playing the actor’s mother in Robert Zemeckis’ classic trilogy. Thompson, who has shared memories of working together, expressed her affection for her on-screen child with a heartfelt message and perfectly timed gif.
For years, Michael J. Fox has been one of my favorite actors, so it brings joy to my heart to witness him being bestowed such a significant accolade. Being a huge fan of Back to the Future, I can’t help but feel a grin spreading across my face as Lea Thompson and Christopher Lloyd paid tribute to their friend and fellow actor with heartfelt messages. Following the announcement that he was chosen as an honoree, Fox shared his gratitude through his foundation.
To be bestowed with the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a profound experience, one that I never expected in my wildest dreams. I am deeply grateful for this distinction, which I do not consider mine alone but rather something I share with the patients, their families, and the dedicated researchers who have tirelessly worked towards our goal: to eradicate Parkinson’s disease forever.
It’s clear as day that the Canadian actor has delivered some of the most memorable performances in both film and television history. Despite his impressive achievements, he’s consistently kept a humble demeanor, only recently acknowledging that he truly captured the role of Marty.

Apart from his acting roles, Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 at an early age but didn’t reveal this privately until 1998. Since then, the former star of “American President” has been a dedicated advocate for research into the disease. Many of his efforts have been channeled through the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Given the commendable work he’s done both in front of and behind the camera, it’s not surprising that he was awarded the distinguished medal.
I’ve been reminiscing about the last “Back to the Future” movie, which graced our screens almost 35 years ago now. Despite this long span of time, the main cast members have managed to stay connected. The BTTF cast has even joined forces for conventions and various events throughout the years, creating heartwarming moments in public that reflect their enduring bond. Recently, Lea Thompson and Christopher Lloyd’s messages serve as proof that their friendship remains as strong as ever. I can’t help but hope these relationships will stand the test of time.
You have options to either buy/rent the “Back to the Future” films across various digital marketplaces or go for physical copies. Don’t forget to catch the captivating documentary, “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie“, by streaming it using an Apple TV+ subscription.
