Michael J. Fox Claims Crispin Glover Caused “Friction” on “Back to the Future” Set
Hollywood icon Michael J. Fox has revealed details about on-set tensions during the filming of the classic 1985 film “Back to the Future.” In his new memoir, “Future Boy,” Fox alleges that his co-star, Crispin Glover, who played George McFly, caused “friction” due to his unconventional approach to the character.
Fox, 65, stated that Glover’s unpredictable acting style, with differing ideas about how George McFly should behave, created challenges for the crew and director Robert Zemeckis. He recalled instances where Glover deviated from his marks, requiring the crew to build physical barriers to keep him within the shot’s parameters.
“Nobody puts Crispin in a box,” Fox wrote in new memoir Future Boy. “But that didn’t prevent the camera crew from literally building a box around him.“As George McFly, Crispin had his own ideas as to how and where his character should move.”
Despite the difficulties, Fox maintained that he respected Glover’s talent and dedication to his unique interpretation of the character, saying: “His talent was unquestionable, although his methods sometimes created friction. Still, I respected how he remained true to George (as he understood and embodied him).” Glover was eventually replaced by Jeffrey Weissman in the film’s sequels. The Independent has reached out to Glover for comment.
The article also touches on Fox’s own health battles. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Fox candidly discussed his life with Parkinson’s disease, including his thoughts on death. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 29, stated, “I’d like to just not wake up one day. That’d be really cool. I don’t want it to be dramatic. I don’t want to trip over furniture, smash my head.” In an interview with People he also opened up about his daily challenges while living with Parkinson’s. “I wake up and get the message of what the day is gonna be like, and I try to adjust to it,” he said.
