Jul 17, 2020

Superstar Michael J. Fox is best known for his iconic 1980s movie roles that took him back to the future and turned him into a teenage werewolf. But this '80s star who we all might still imagine as a teenager now how has a son who is all grown up and looks exactly like his famous father.

According to Biography.com, Michael J. Fox first came to fame with his starring role on the hit 1982 TV show Family Ties where he played Alex P. Keaton, the slightly uptight, conservative ambitious son who often argued with his ex-hippie, liberal parents. His performance was so outstanding he earned multiple Emmy Awards during his stint on the show.

After the show ended, Fox’s career and fame only grew better and bigger. In 1985, he starred in the major blockbuster Back to the Future where he played Marty McFly, that wayward time traveler who almost erased himself from existence. Fox also starred in several other hit films, including Teen Wolf, where, yes, he played a teenager who turns into a werewolf, and in The Secret of My Success. After, more Back to the Future movies followed, all of which were box office smashes.

Even after the neon glow and synthesizers of the '80s faded, Fox continued to have a successful career in film and on TV. Along with several movie roles in The American President and Stuart Little, he also starred in the TV show Spin City and had numerous guest appearances in several other shows.

Unfortunately, in 1991 when he was 29, Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and has battling it ever since. But despite his diagnosis, Fox has grown both professionally and personally. He has been married to Tracy Pollan, his Family Ties co-star, since 1988, and the couple has four kids: Sam who is 31, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler who are 25, and Esme who is 19.

Although we’re sure that Fox loves all his kids equally and is proud of them, one kid stands out due to the fact that he looks almost identical to his famous father. Sam Michael Fox, who is just about the mirror image of his father, has mostly stayed out of the spotlight.

However, he was chosen to serve as “Mr. Golden Globes” at the 70th Golden Globe Awards alongside Francesca Eastwood, the daughter of Clint Eastwood, who served as “Miss Golden Globes.” These roles are usually filled by the kids of famous actors and actresses who have a desire for the spotlight just like their parents. According to IMDB, Sam also graduated from Stanford University in 2012, which means he's probably as smart as his dad, too!
