Both actors answered questions from the audience and hugged often, realizing a close friendship that began with the filming of the film “Back to the Future” in 1985. The actors met when Fox was hired to replace Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly after several weeks of filming.

“I didn’t know Michael personally, I had just heard of him. And I felt like I was just past six weeks, and now I had to do it again?” Said 83-year-old Lloyd. He said that when they met and started working together, “the understanding was immediate”.

For his part, Fox (61) has cataloged his co-star as “the king of the show”: “Nobody wants to do a show because it’s boring. The bad thing is that you hide everything from him, because he’s so good at it, and it’s brilliantly fun, ”he said.

The speech included a Michael Fox in a good mood, who was diagnosed in 1991 Parkinson’swhen I was 29. In fact, the actor talked about it his work with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the world’s largest Parkinson’s disease foundation. “Parkinson’s is the gift you keep getting, but it’s a gift and I wouldn’t trade it for anything … people like Chris have been there for me a lot, and so many of you. It’s not about what I have, it’s about of what I have been given: the voice to do this and help people, “he said.
