Michael J. Fox On Meeting Steven Spielberg And Ronald Reagan | Letterman 

It always strikes me how different the tone of late night was back then, much more natural, not a lot of manufactured laughs, editing and such. You even have those quiet, award moments that happen naturally. Miss it.

I remember in 1985 when Michael J. Fox had the #1 and #2 movie at the SAME TIME and also a Top 5 show --- he was a superstar

What a class act Fox is

This is pure Letterman legend! He asks questions that nobody else asks. He makes him uncomfortable about, "Teen Wolf". He asks direct questions about money/gross/net. MJ Fox is a trooper, and he handles it well. I wish more celebrities would not be threatened by honest (Lettermanesqe) interviews. The people love it!

You can see how much of a veteran actor he was early on amazing star

Look how young, healthy and handsome he was. Nothing lasts forever except your good memories.

You know his middle name is Andrew, but he didn't want to be 'Michael A Fox', so he changed it to J. 🙂 Really nice guy, like him a lot.

I recall Mr. Letterman putting together a celebrity short film festival. He requested that celebrities make a short film. The only short I remember from that episode was the one submitted by Mr. Fox. It dealt with the juxtaposition of a symphony orchestra and a hockey team.

such a good guy ❤

He represents all the good.

3:54 / 3:55 what, is he Robert Evans w/ those glasses? What a talent... loved the opening sketch.

A lot more laid back then and and a lot of just cool funny, hey ya old bag of dirt...LOL I miss people being genuine and just being happy.

Michael Andrew Fox (Edmonton, Alberta, 9 de junio de 1961), más conocido como Michael J. Fox, es un actor canadiense-estadounidense retirado. Su carrera en el cine y la televisión comenzó a finales de los años setenta. Entre sus papeles se destacan Marty McFly en la trilogía de Regreso al futuro (1985-1990); Alex Keaton en Enredos de familia (1982-1989), por la cual ganó 3 premios Emmy y 1 Globo de Oro, y Mike Flaherty en Spin City (1996-2000), por la cual ganó 1 Emmy, 2 Globos de Oro y 2 SAG. Tras iniciar su carrera como actor con el nombre de Michael Fox, el canadiense añadió la letra J. para no coincidir con el intérprete del mismo nombre y como homenaje a otro actor: Michael J. Pollard.

RIP MJF.

A terrific terrific actor, rewatching Back To The Future trilogy at least thrice a year cannot get enough of them. So unfortunate he got Parkinson's, I bet he would be a regular in the biggest blockbusters today.

Michael J Fox is one of the few celebrities I genuinely do care about and admire, so seeing this video uploaded kind of freaked me out. Thankfully he's okay

GOD BLESS HIM

Michael always had great fashion sense, if I was a celebrity back in that 80s, that's exactly how I'd dress 😇

I wish I could go Back to the Future... :)

I figure Reagan would have especially wanted to meet him, because as the story goes, he had the projectionist roll the film back when the "who's the president in 1985?" line came up. Which apparently made him crack up.

Canadian -- HUHHHH???

Love ya Mike.

MJF was so cute. It's so sad what he's going thru!

President Reagan was a fan of Back to the Future and quoted a line from it in his State of the Union Address; he also liked Family Ties.

They made fun of Teen Wolf...it spawned a sequel, a series, and a revival with a new reboot.

Watched back to the future about 10 times yesterday because AMC keeps repeating it, was nostalgic to say the least

Dave’s reaction to “I’m a Canadian” really tickled me.

I really liked Michael in Spjn City. I loved that show!

Best comedic timing since Lucille Ball.

Why Dave interviewed him like he was a child? :D

Fox seems a little nervous in this interview, but, good lord, the constant requests for anecdotes about celebrities he's met aren't helping!

Teen Wolf is a good movie!

Some interesting questions coming from the interviewer, but I’m so glad you posted this! I never was able to find it before.

Dave asked Michael about the great film people he'd met like Newman & Redford...he also met the peerless James Cagney who the other's were so fond of...surprized he didn't mention that. Great photos online of the meeting.

things were a lot different then...

Those glasses...yikes!

MJF absolutely killing it in 1985. I wonder how many 80s kids were named Michael after him and Michael Jackson...

Top of the world!

2:49 Michael J. Fox mistook Steven Spielberg for his old colleague. 😂😂😂

I love watching my favourite stars from the movies and TV shows I loved as a kid giving interviews to great hosts like Letterman and Carson. Back then, I wouldn't have understood half of the context or meaning of their working lives, but now it really gives me a renewed appreciated for such stars, like Michael J. Fox.

I had to look this one up, just to make sure that he was okay. I’m going to be so sad when Michael J. Fox actually does die!

Back when the word "basic" still meant basic. Idk what it even means anymore.

Michael ruled the 80's.

These are fascinating

Not dead yet

Not dead.

I miss this version.

RIP 😢😢

Big fan of Michael J. Fox....however those '80's glasses makes him look like Jeffery Dahmer.

😎

I noticed that Michael J. Fox, even back before his Parkinson's diagnosis does a lot of fidgeting and moving around in his chair.

3:07 bag of dirt 😂

Michael J. Fox

he could’ve been a big movie star but has severe parkinsons now

He looks like a young Larry King with those glasses on. 😁

So beautiful

Видно по моторике что болезнь уже тогда проявлялась и то как он пытается это скрыть от окружающих. Бедняга.

Fred “liked” the movie. Humbleness all around. No one doesn’t “love” Back to the Future”
