Michael J. Fox just had a nostalgic reunion dinner that feels straight out of Back to the Future.
The beloved actor recently shared a new photo with his longtime friend and costar Christopher Lloyd during a beachside dinner.
“Dining with my bestie at the beach. Next year BTTF is 41. Great Scott. Chris will be 8️⃣8️⃣. That’s some serious shit,” Fox wrote in the Instagram caption.
The reunion quickly caught the attention of fans, who have long cherished the bond between Fox, 64, and Lloyd, 87, who played Marty McFly and eccentric scientist Doc Brown, respectively, in the legendary Back to the Future trilogy. The films, which debuted in 1985, remain some of the most beloved entries in pop culture, with the duo’s dynamic at the heart of the franchise’s enduring appeal.
“Imagine casually eating food and looking over to see this table,” one fan noted in the comments.
“With your bestie. Oh my days. My heart just melted 🥹❤️,” another wrote.
A third said, ”Many more great memories ahead for you and The Doc. 💙”
Over the years, the actors have reunited many times at fan events and conventions, but it’s the casual moments like this that spark the most excitement among longtime viewers.
Fox has previously spoken about how meaningful his relationship with Lloyd became during the making of the films. In an October 2025 interview with , he recalled one of the most emotionally demanding scenes in the original movie. After Marty believes Doc has been shot by terrorists, the character breaks down in grief—only for Doc to later reveal he survived thanks to a bulletproof vest.

Fox admitted the scene pushed him as a young actor. At the time, he was only 23 years old, and even executive producer Steven Spielberg wasn’t sure he could handle the dramatic shift in tone. “He didn’t think I’d be able to do it,” Fox said. “It’s like I had to go from 90 miles per hour and just drop and be like, ‘My friend is dead.’ It’s a morose moment.”
The emotional scene ultimately became one of the film’s most memorable moments and a mirror of their real-live connection. And judging by Fox’s latest post, that friendship is still going strong.
