It was undoubtedly THE moment to remember of Comic Con which took place this weekend in New York. The reunion between the two emblematic actors of the Back to the Future saga moved thousands of people!
The New York Comic Con audience was moved to tears
Yesterday the last edition of Comic Con in New York ended and we were just wondering live the event as if you were there. But behind the avalanche of cosplay, announcements and previews, there were above all magical moments, including one that particularly moved the audience.
The hug from Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd during their Comic Con reunion this weekend is sure to make you shed a tear.
A legendary hug between two great actors
Since its release in 1985, Robert Zemeckis’ film, Back to the Future, has left an indelible mark on the world of cinema. By revisiting the history of the time machine in his own way, the franchise has not only impressed its viewers, also had a lasting impact on its actors, whose two lead roles reunited this weekend at New York Comic-Con 2022. Incredible reunion in terms of emotion when actor Michael J. Fox (Marty McFly) launched a “Wait a minute. Doc … Give me a hug, friend !!!”before throwing himself into the arms of his accomplice Christopher Lloyd who played Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future and its sequels.
A touching and sincere hug for these two men who had not seen each other for years and who took advantage of this magical moment to exchange their precious memories on the set of the very first part of the saga. Michael J. Fox also did not hesitate to address the subject of Parkinson’s disease, which we have known to suffer from for many years. The actor also claimed to view his illness not as a plague but as a gift that allowed him to grow stronger. An incredible lesson in courage.
The best thing that ever happened to me in my life was this thing. Parkinson’s disease is a gift. I told people it was a gift and they said, ‘You’re crazy. I say, “Yes, but it is a gift that means a lot to me. It is a gift and I would not change it for the world … It is not about what I have, but about what I have been given. – Michael J. Fox
