A poignant, heartfelt and funny memoir about how, in 1985, Michael J Fox brought two iconic roles to life simultaneously - Alex Keaton in Family Ties and Marty McFly in Back to the Future. Here is the amazing true story, as only Michael J Fox can tell it ...

In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox's days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg, Back to the Future. Sitcom during the day, movie at night - day after day, for months.

Fox's nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex's bravado, Marty's flair, and Fox's comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.

In Future Boy, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time - a slice of entertainment history that's never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.

As an avid fan of Back To The Future and a huge admirer of MJF, this is a brilliant time capsule of knowledge. Which that only helps strengthen my love for this movie franchise.

Hearing the story told by MJF himself makes this audible book unmissable for any fan of BTTF or the movie industry. The feat they pulled off in 1985 is incredible.

Not to be missed!
