Michael J. Fox had the perfect birthday message for Christopher Lloyd, thanks to a little Back to the Future history.
Lloyd, who famously played Doc Brown in the beloved film franchise, turned 88 on October 22. To celebrate, Fox shared a photo of the longtime costars smiling together at dinner, along with a joke that fans of the movies will instantly recognize.
“Great Scott you’re 88! That’s some serious [expletive], love you!” Fox wrote on Instagram. The message was a nod to one of Doc Brown’s most memorable lines: “When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious [expletive].”
Lloyd also took a moment on his birthday to express his appreciation for his loved ones and fans. “Today I turn 88 … I’ve seen some serious [expletive]. The most serious of it all is love. I love my family, my friends, and my wonderful fans. The power of love remains,” he wrote on X.
His reference to “The Power of Love” was another nod to Back to the Future, where Huey Lewis and the News’ hit song was featured.
View this post on InstagramFox had shared some insight into his friendship with Lloyd earlier this year. Speaking to People, he recalled going out to dinner with his costar, who mentioned that he would soon be turning 88.
“He and I went out for dinner a few days ago, and he said he’d be 88 … when he turns 88. But he’s great. He’s one of the most youthful guys I know. So young,” Fox said.
The two actors have remained connected through the enduring popularity of Back to the Future, which first hit theaters more than 40 years ago. The beloved film went on to spawn two sequels, an animated TV series, video games, books, a stage musical and theme park attractions.
The story follows Fox’s Marty McFly, a high school student who accidentally travels back in time in a DeLorean built by his scientist friend, Emmett “Doc” Brown. When Marty inadvertently disrupts his parents’ first meeting, he must find a way to bring them together before he erases his own existence.
Fox and Lloyd have reunited over the years, including in 2020, while Fox, Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Thomas F. Wilson came together at Fan Expo Portland in 2023. Fox went on to star in a string of successful films and television shows, including Spin City, Stuart Little and The Good Wife.
Still, Back to the Future has remained an important part of his story. In 2025, he revisited the film’s legacy in his memoir, Future Boy, sharing memories of making the movie that brought him and Lloyd together.
