Michael J. Fox: Lloyd Made Me Feel Valued on BTTF Set
26 Oct
Summary
- Fox felt undervalued by some due to his TV background.
- Lloyd's background in television helped him relate.
- Lloyd's welcoming attitude eased Fox's transition onto set.
Michael J. Fox recently shared how Christopher Lloyd's support was instrumental when he took over the role of Marty McFly in "Back to the Future." Lloyd recalled the surprise announcement that Fox would replace Eric Stoltz a few weeks into filming the 1985 sci-fi classic.
Initially, Lloyd felt a bit annoyed by the change, having invested significant energy into the role. However, upon Fox's arrival, the dynamic shifted. Lloyd praised Fox's spontaneity, humor, and intelligence, which invigorated the production.
Fox expressed gratitude, noting that many on set doubted him because of his television background. He felt Lloyd, with his own TV experience, never exhibited this skepticism. Fox emphasized that Lloyd's openness and collaborative spirit, focusing on the Marty-Doc relationship, made him feel secure and valued during a challenging transition.
