Michael J. Fox Eric Stoltz Back to the Future

The internet might have actually exploded if Michael J. Fox and Eric Stoltz had been spotted together at a Starbucks, a scenario the two actors joked about during their reunion in New York. Decades after Stoltz was replaced as Marty McFly in the 1985 film Back to the Future, Fox reached out while working on his memoir Future Boy with a surprisingly low-bar request: he told Stoltz that even a reply of 'Piss off and leave me alone' would be perfectly acceptable. The response arrived exactly as predicted, opening with those exact words before Stoltz immediately clarified, 'I jest...'. Although Stoltz declined a formal interview for the book, he did agree to sit down privately with Fox. This meeting came after production had halted on the original movie following six weeks of filming, when director Robert Zemeckis, producer Bob Gale, and Steven Spielberg decided Stoltz's performance was simply too dramatic for the film's lighter tone. During their conversation, they fell into an easy dialogue discussing their careers, families, and yes, their own trips through the space-time continuum. It is confirmed that the two have maintained a friendly relationship ever since that initial contact. #MichaelJFox
