It's well known Fox and Lloyd enjoyed an immediate chemistry on the Back to the Future set.
Initially the role of Marty McFly was to be portrayed by actor Eric Stoltz. However, after six weeks of production Fox was subsequently recruited after the producers felt he was a better fit for the role.
The coupling of Fox and Lloyd proved to be a dynamic box office success with each of the time travel movies grossing over two hundred million dollars. The trilogy became one of the most popular film franchises of all time.
At New York Comic Con, Fox showered his former costar with praise dubbing him as "brilliantly entertaining" and "the king of exposition".
He also treated the audience to his iconic line to Lloyd from their first movie.
"So you built a time machine out of a DeLorean?"
This line is in reference to the car, a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, which Marty and Doc used to travel through time in each of the three films.
Naturally, social media is absolutely buzzing with clips of the pair's meetup.

Fox has struggled with Parkinson's disease after being diagnosed at just 29 years of age.
The actor is an advocate for Parkinson's research and treatment through the Michael J. Fox foundation—a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure. Fox has raised over $1.5 billion for research into the disease.
Many hail him as a hero for his efforts.

At the reunion, Fox commended Lloyd for giving him support since his diagnosis in 1991.
“Parkinson’s is the gift that keeps on taking, but it’s a gift, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.”
“People like Chris have been there a lot for me, and so many of you have. It’s not about what I have, it’s about what I’ve been given, the voice to get this done, and help people out.”
At the moment there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, however people like Fox are helping to bring us closer to finding one.
