Michael said he told his mum: “I live for this kind of tired. It'll be okay.”He then went on: “To this day — well, till two weeks ago — my mother thought it was a really bad idea for me to do Back to the Future.“She loved the movie, [but she was right], I got tired.”According to an online obituary, Phyllis was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1929.She is survived by sons Steve and Michael, as well as daughters Jackie and Kelli.Phylis had nine grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and was also a great-great-granddaughter.She “took special pride in raising awareness for Diabetes and Parkinson’s Disease, and in serving on the board of the Michael J Fox Theatre in Burnaby.”The family requested that, instead of flowers, donations be made in Phyllis' honour.They suggested causes including diabetes, Parkinson's, the Burnaby General Hospital, the BC Children's Hospital and Canuck Place.During the eventful Comic Con weekend, Michael reunited with his Back to the Future co-star Christopher Lloyd, 83.On Saturday, Michael, who spoke out on his 1991 Parkinson's disease diagnosis, shared a stage with his fellow actor.Michael portrayed the popular Marty McFly, while Christopher played eccentric scientist Doctor Emmett Brown or “Doc” in the 1985 film.The movie stars came together to look back on the iconic film trilogy almost forty years after its initial release in theatres and were met with emphatic applause from the crowd.

The pair then took part in a lively Q&A session, where they revisited the time they first crossed paths on set.Michael had been brought in to replace Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly after several weeks of filming.While at first, Christopher was apprehensive about having to start all over again, he went on to highlight how.
