Princess Diana's Surprising 'Back to the Future' Laugh
28 Oct
Summary
- Princess Diana found the manure truck scene in Part II hilarious.
- Christopher Lloyd was surprised by the royal's unexpected humor.
- Lloyd also shared a regret about not doing a stunt in Part III.
Christopher Lloyd has shared a surprising anecdote about Princess Diana's enjoyment of the 'Back to the Future' franchise. At the U.K. premiere of 'Back to the Future Part II' in 1989, the actor was tasked with entertaining the royal guest. Lloyd recounted that Princess Diana found a recurring gag, where Biff Tannen lands in a manure truck, particularly hysterical, laughing out loud. This reaction, Lloyd noted, surprised him and humanized the princess, as he felt such humor was universally appreciated.
In his memoir, Lloyd also reflected on his experience filming the trilogy, naming 'Back to the Future Part III' as his favorite installment. However, he expressed a singular regret: not performing a specific stunt in the film's climax. Lloyd wished he had attempted to climb onto a speeding train car alongside Marty McFly, a feat he believed he was capable of, despite understanding the inherent risks involved in such actions.
