Back in the 80’s there was few people as hot as Michael J Fox. He had a hit show (Family Ties) and hit movies like Back to the Future and Teen Wolf. But the star is pressed to remember dating Susanna Hoffs, lead singer of the band The Bangles.
Fox was talking to the Sunday Times to promote a documentary of his on Apple TV. The film revolves around his battle with Parkinson’s disease, which affects muscle movements as well as memory.
“When I look at that period in the [documentary] it just seems crazy,” Fox said. “Look at all the girls I dated. Some of them I can’t even remember.”
“I mean, I dated Susanna Hoffs from the Bangles, and I can’t even remember it,” he continued. “But that’s just an example. Stuff like that happened all the time.”
Fox, of course, married his former “Family Ties” co-star Tracy Pollan in 1988.
Lovers aren’t the only memories he’s lost.
“I sat next to Princess Diana during the world premiere of ‘Back to the Future’ and I had to pee. And that’s all I remember,” said Fox.
“I had just been told a whole list of things that I could and couldn’t do, like not speaking unless spoken to, and not standing unless she stands. And so I was thinking, ‘What kind of math do I have to do to go to the bathroom?’”
