Let’s take a look at the cast back to the future Now that the trilogy is reunited, you’d think they’d always been the closest of friends, which is mostly true. Once they got to know each other, they both developed a great love and admiration for each other, but by her own admission, Thompson When it comes to meeting her co-star, it’s actually a very tricky question Michael J. Fox.
in a recent interview still here in hollywood Podcast (via CinemaBlend) Thompson, who played Lorraine McFly in these three films back to the future Movies and Maggie McFly part threerecalled host Steve Kmetko saying she “probably” didn’t hit it off with Fox right away.
This is partly because she is friends with the actor Eric StoltzOriginally slated to play Marty McFly but was fired after taking on the role of director and co-writer Robert Zemeckis Although he filmed several scenes for the film, it was felt that he was not right for the role after all. Thompson continues to play two years after first back to the future The film will star alongside Stoltz in the 1987 classic teen romance drama something wonderful.
In addition to her friend being kicked out of the program, Thompson said she despises Fox for another reason:
“I remember being particularly arrogant because there was a big divide between movie stars and TV stars at the time. I remember feeling like, ‘He’s just a TV star and I’m a movie star. I’m in Jaws 3D. So. , I think it took me a while to get used to him, but he’s funny and it’s fun to act with him.
Fox became a household name starring in the beloved series family ties. Anyone who has watched the show will know that Foxx is extremely talented. His comedic timing is excellent and it makes sense that he would become a huge star. That’s why he had been the studio’s top choice to play Marty McFly, but when Fox’s TV schedule seemed impossible to get around, he was replaced by Stoltz. Once he was reconnected, he was able to strike a deal that would allow him to produce both his own show and a hit movie.
