My Father worked in the Air Lines as a Ticket Agent, and met his fair share of celebrities. My Dad met Michael J Fox and said Mike was a very kind person, super humble and had a genuine soul.
It's good to see when someone like Michael who is a kind soulful individual gets his break in show business and be successful. What is painful to learn of his health with Parkinson's disease. I pray he is able to do what he can to overcome those health obstacles.
His love? I'm a bit surprised that she stayed with him since most people will leave their spouse if they're ill. Well, at least when it comes to the husband. They're the ones who usually run!
Michael is a living legend. He was on the brink of absolute failure but then he landed Family Ties and the rest is history. He persevered and he got the success he deserves. He got Parkinson’s but the difference he’s made in funding the research is amazing. He’s a great actor and guy and I hope he gets cured someday. This video was so heavy 💫
Michael J Fox is an extraordinary actor, who watched from Back to the Future will never forget , this film had been marked forever with their friendliness and extraordinary talent .
Anytime I watch bttf I feel life everything for the next two hours is okay with the world and all my problems and worries fall to the wayside, it’s why I love movies and being able to kinda lose yourself for a couple of hours.
michael's greatest strength as an actor is making every one of his characters likable--in real life, i don't think i'd ever associate with someone like alex, but when mike plays him i just want to be this guy's best friend! :P
Love seeing old footage like this. I remember fondly the 80's and all the fun loving movies. Such a good time to be a teen. I truly felt like those movies like Back To The Future and Pretty In Pink were made for my generation who were teens at the time. I was 15 in 1985 and got my first job at the Cinema 4 Theater. It was a pleasure to be able to see all those movies for free.
Thank you for posting this!! I recently rediscovered Michael after watching some old Family Ties episodes and although I’ve always liked him as an actor and all his movies when I was younger I didn’t pay much attention to these type of interviews. He is indeed one of a kind. His parents raised him to be the special man he is today. Humble, family oriented, he has a beautiful soul and he is gorgeous. God bless him.
The 1980's was the best time of my life as well. We were young, healthy, and full of life and indeed life was good. Things have changed in the world so much (for the worse) and it pains me to think how different everything is today from back then. I will always look back at the 80's as THE best time of my life :)
Did you know the great actor James Cagney wanted Michael to do play him in his biography which was quite an honor but I believe Michael had too much on his plate during that time?
@@angelacarleton9575 True...he hosted the 1992 tribute to the peerless Cagney 'Top Of The World'...which is some consolation at least...great photo of the two of them circa 1985 on the internet.
Where does one find a young man like him (nowadays) ? T-T ... The likes of him are just a too rare and precious gem to ever hope to find in one lifetime T-T. I mean, seriously, who's goal in life nowadays is forming a family? sigh..
+pissicutza09 Forming a family doesn't seem worth it nowadays. You have a kid, and rarely get to raise them yourself because you can no longer pay a mortgage on one income. High divorce rates, alimony, terrible school systems and a bad economy...it's sad.
man thank u for this. im getting a huge nostalgic kick now. was born in the early 80s. when i was 10 or 12 he was my favourite actor. cant tell u how many times i watched back to the future trilogy in my childhood era. i hope they find a cure for his disease.
seeing J Fox im always get the pure 80s feeling in my mind and body- the 80s were so far out the best time in my life---after that life and society got worse and isnt fun anymore.
this, everything in this is so attractive. his intellect, how he speaks with thought and care, the cuteness, even going into putting energy into becoming a father ... wow
How amazing. Thanks so much for posting this. I was just a kid in '87, and BTTF series, Family Ties, and Teen Wolf are huge parts of my childhood. I lived in Studio City when I was 25, close to where his house was, according to your doc. It was fascinating to see him the same age as me, talking about buying juice at Ralph's, and dealing with fame so young. Great job producing this! How'd you land him at the hottest point of his career???
I miss MJF! 😊 He's one of the iconic actors in the 80s.... 80s is really the best... Best movies, musics and happy life. I was in my pre -teens at that time. Never get bored when listening sounds and watching 80s movies. 😊 - From the Phillipines
Oh my god, I would have had a huge crush on him if I was alive back then. I didn't know he was such a humble dude, what a sweetheart. I hope he's doing okay.
16:03 His eyes are to die for! When I was a child, I picked blue as my favourite colour just because of his eyes and 7 for my lucky number just because of the number of letters his name MICHAEL consists. That's the scope of my fandom!!! He is in every single detail of my life!!
I remember watching this when it first aired back then. I was a huge fan as a kid, and still am! thanks for posting this! I can see hear at 2:26 that they were filming the season 5 episode "D is for date" guest starring Will Wheaton.
thanks so much for posting this! i remember seeing this when it first aired on tv back in the late 80's, and what a thrill it was to see it again. thanks so much. from a huge michael j. fox fan!
Don't you ever feel like you want to go back in time and tell him that he's gonna get parkinson and tell how to prevent it? But you did do that he wouldn't have been able to raise millions for other people who suffer from parkinson? Just asking for a friend lol
He was great. He's great. I'm Italian and he represents to be the best of the America of the eighties and a part of my beloved youth. I love this boy, I love this man, a true genuine, good American symbol. All of the awesomeness of the young intelligent optimistic clever US young dude.
thanks for uploading this, was great to watch, I was only 10 when I watched BTTF 1 and from then I read every thing I could about Michael and I have always said it's thanks to Michael why I Learned to read. anything about Michael I was glued to it, had to read everything and was excited to watch every movie he ever made, still to this day I watch at least 2 of his movies every week.
MJF has always given* me the impression that he was from my city New York I had a crush on him since 1986 as I was only 5 years old watching reruns and new episodes of Family Ties. Especially when Back to The Future came on Home Video 📼 😍 when playing Barbies with my sister or cousins I’d always say my Barbie husband was named Michael J Fox ☺️
Two of my favorite people, (actors), are from Canada; and they are both so cute and funny, Michael J. Fox and Matthew Perry, (Chandler Bing). They are both great!!
He is BRILLIANT my favorite actor of his generation, maybe any generation. Great hockey player...breaks my heart to see what happened to him. I don't hear much about him now. I think he became Brings tears to my eyes as o this disease. Bless hm
Felony Strutter he is still out there, and his Foundation, has raised over a billion for Parkinson’s, research, and patient support. He still is as active as he can be, and his attitude is positive.
This was refreshing to see, Mike in his young years... here's a little trivia, I noticed Norm Rosen credited with sound for CBC. Norm's son Russ, and Mike played in a band together back in grade 6 or 7, called Walrus if my memory is right. Thanks for the post, brought back some great memories of a great guy when we were kids.
Okay, actually he self-medicated after his diagnosis with Parkinson's. He said he did enjoy drinking at parties, but found himself drinking alone after his diagnosis. Later he stopped the self-medicating, got into therapy, and his relationship with his wife grew stronger. Fox is not a classic alcoholic.
I love how he's honest about why he didn't leave Family Ties despite making it as a huge movie star. Yeah he liked the show, the cast etc, but being signed for 6 years and then leaving would likely mean they'd sue him. I've never seen him say that so explicitly anywhere else. Saying that, he did sign for an additional 7th year of Family Ties with the rest of the cast when he didn't have to.
The secret of my success has such a deep connection to my life. My mum loved Michael J Fox and she loved that movie, my dad was often busy so when it was on tv she used to let me stay up late to watch it with her, I think she just wanted the company but I can’t watch it without a deep sense of nostalgia
My Father worked in the Air Lines as a Ticket Agent, and met his fair share of celebrities. My Dad met Michael J Fox and said Mike was a very kind person, super humble and had a genuine soul.
Wow amazing bro :O
Again. that is his strength. They say he is 5 foot 4. To me he is 10 foot tall
It's good to see when someone like Michael who is a kind soulful individual gets his break in show business and be successful. What is painful to learn of his health with Parkinson's disease. I pray he is able to do what he can to overcome those health obstacles.
That's so cool
So cool! Did he ever encounter any rude celebraties?
He's ridiculously good-looking and mature for his age...wow, love him.
You're gay.
I still adore him after all these years...his love for his wife and family is so rare in Hollywood!
How would you know??
he's handled his illness better than others would .
His love? I'm a bit surprised that she stayed with him since most people will leave their spouse if they're ill.
Well, at least when it comes to the husband. They're the ones who usually run!
@@sarcasticallyrearranged if you are a child man, yes, otherwise you are like Michael, a real adult.
@@sarcasticallyrearrangedshe has other men. Full stop

He is also on Twitter at @realmikefox and his organization is Michael JFox.org ....he also has a book out now too.
@@ginamiller1660 you need to make the website link all together with no spaces or it won't work.
For 25 he is a deep thinker and very eloquent. I was never that eloquent at 25. It is incredible to see. So down to earth.
His acting in "Back to the Future" was a milestone in my life.
He might only be 5 foot 4. But his energy would lift up a city in the air
Michael J Fox is an extraordinary actor, who watched from Back to the Future will never forget , this film had been marked forever with their friendliness and extraordinary talent .
I know family ties was a descent TV series. But was Back to the future. All 3 that really made him
It starts at home. MJF has great parents and that is why he is a great human being. Nice job mom and dad. You raised one heck of a son!
I don't know what you saw in it. He is not pretty and short with a baby face. He just makes me laugh.
They weren't that great. They carried the parkinson's strain
Read his books. You'll find your analysis to be a little problematic in his case. Don't make statements about people you don't know.
@@manuelasilva5456 he was not genetically predisposed to Parkinson's. Educate yourself. Stat.
@@manuelasilva5456 same
I love Michael J. Fox! Every time I watch him BTTF is like seeing an old friend, this man is my childhood
Anytime I watch bttf I feel life everything for the next two hours is okay with the world and all my problems and worries fall to the wayside, it’s why I love movies and being able to kinda lose yourself for a couple of hours.
Mine too
Michael J. Fox is an extremely interesting man, and is one of my all-time favorite actors. It's fun to see some of the behind-the-scenes stuff!
I hereby request that the Oxford English Dictionary add Michael J. Fox's picture next to the word "Sweetheart".
Lily Bowie to be able to make it easy for me to
Selamat
He is so good looking.
He did a hell of a good job backing that Ferrari out of his long ass drive way, no wonder they let him take the Delorean back to the future!!! 😃
Nice comment 👍😊
i know right saw that i couldn't do that afraid to scratch up the Ferrari
Haha I thought I was the only one wondering about that 😂

It's been like 30 years and he is still one of the hottest guys ever to me
I agree he a cutie i love him in family ties
He's my dream boy
+Karissa M Right?
I know!-Has always been a dream to me. Still Love him!
So true
The way he looks down when he giggles is adorable (:
Emily Lance
True!😂
Emily Lance yep I love it
His giggles are the the strength & power of his personality. That's his beauty.
I know, I just melt at his smile... 😊
Always been a fan of M.j.Fox. He's a very gifted actor, and has been since his childhood in Theatre!
I love that Michael J. Fox is so down to earth - he is terrific!

Love all those movies , john hughs movies were great
He's always been so beautifully humble. We LOVE you Michael!
Sweet MJF😍😍😍 where are boys like him today? and also sweet 80s❤ I am totally born in wrong generation...
What a cool guy!! Very likeable actor.
You gotta thank the camera operator for getting so friggin close to his face in the interview. He was just a remarkably beautiful man.
It's so rare to be able to look so mesmerising while being filmed so closely, he is very beautiful indeed

Im only 14 but I wished I could live in the '80s aswell
Was in my teens in the 80s. I can confirm from my own experience it was indeed a great time
Born in 78 i loved the 80s i used to wish i was a teen in the 80s tho
@TJ even during the pandemic, I agree that the 1980s were much better.
At least healthier for me.
I feel you! Sometimes I listen to music from that time and it takes me back even just for a few moments away from the horrible world we live in today
Michael brightens my mind with his attractive face. He is so lenient and also has a beautiful mind.
The last famous guy who can pull off 5'4"
Since Napoleon lol.
Did you know the great actor James Cagney wanted Michael to do play him in his biography which was quite an honor but I believe Michael had too much on his plate during that time?

Don’t forget about Tom Cruise lol

And what if it's not the right kind of people who form families in most cases? ^^ The number doesn't matter (imo), should be the quality of it.
This hits home hard bcos I haven’t found mr right in my 30s 😂
No matter how old he gets, he's still the best looking man I've ever seen!
My god he's so adorable ❤️I love him so much
The 32 people that disliked the video are probably related to the tannens in some way
I really appreciate your putting this video on UA-cam. I loved how sincere it was put together. Thanks.

He’s one of my all time favorite actors. He’s attractive and cute. I just love his personality 😍
The main character of one of the 5 best movies of all time.
Back to the future is a HUGE masterpiece
It shaped a generation , young people of the eighies
He deserved his success: a talented young actor with a sound head over his shoulders. Here's to good times, Michael!
Thanks a lot for the upload. The documentary is pretty insightful. Very adorable. “I’m not really interested in being a different person.“
seeing J Fox im always get the pure 80s feeling in my mind and body- the 80s were so far out the best time in my life---after that life and society got worse and isnt fun anymore.
MultiMrMiles Agree.
Soo true!
Soo true!
I feel ya
I feel like as soon as everyone got smart phones the world just gone downhill
this, everything in this is so attractive. his intellect, how he speaks with thought and care, the cuteness, even going into putting energy into becoming a father ... wow
I love Michael J Fox so much!
His parents seem like really nice people, down to earth, but I'd never have guessed they are his parents.
Talented, hilarious, mature and ridiculously good looking. A combination that is not easy to find today *sigh XD
I'm in love with his hair in the thumbnail

He's from Vancouver where the show was based. We knew him personally as he started his career at CBC where we worked.
+Tony Wade that's awesome!! Thanks for sharing this!
Ignorance to a T.
He’s always been well grounded as a celebrity. Some are totally out of touch with the world and reality but he had it together then and now.
sexy and adorable back then, beautiful and above the rest of us now
+Karla Torres Above the rest of us? What do you mean by that? That he is superior? Hardly. He himself would disagree with that. Chuckles.

This is why Michael J. Fox is a success because of his down-to-earth parents - and thank God for them!
Family Ties was actually a great concept. Despite the political clashes, Alex and his dad loved each other.
"Conservative BUT loyal" As if being conservative is a bad thing.
@tom black Yeah, during the reagan years it was bad enough... now... forget it!
Conservative: averse to change or innovation and holding traditional values.
It doesn't just mean what political direction you are inclined!
@tom black Great argument...
Hes right. Id open your eyes before its too late Sir.
Such a sweetheart he is...cute, modest, and yet good-looking at the same time.
his biggest goal is getting married and having children..... oh my god. so cute! I wish i was his wife.... hehe
Kitty Shack I don't wish to be his wife, but I really want to hug him and Tracy together really bad. I only got to do that in a dream.
Marina S bruh
And he said that not knowing that the girl he was working with would be that wife. So cute :)
