Sam Michael Fox and Michael J. Fox

In fact, Fox does not have a middle name that starts with the letter “J”. According to the regulations of the Screen Actors Guild, the same or similar name cannot be used by two people, but there was already a registered Michael Fox, so Michael borrowed the “J” from the middle name of Michael J. Pollard, one of Fox’s favorite actors. He made a name for himself in the 1980s but Michael J. Fox is best known as Marty McFly in Back to the Future movie series.

However, in the middle of his fame, Michael suffered from a major health struggle. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, which is a long-term degenerative disorder. When this happened, he was only 29 years old. Thanks to his health insurance, Michael received the best medication and treatment he needs. He now has four kids with wife Tracy Pollan. His eldest son, Sam Michael Fox, looks the spitting image of his father. You will surely have a hard time recognizing who’s who whenever they are together.
