Michael J. Fox is one of the most beloved stars in Hollywood, and also happens to be one of the most beloved dads in the industry, a doting father of four.
The 63-year-old star shares son Sam, 35, twin daughters Aquinnah and Schuyler, 29, and youngest daughter Esmé, 22, with wife Tracy Pollan, 64.
During a recent panel at Los Angeles Comic Con exploring the legacy of Back to the Future and its sequels, Michael actually made reference to his daughters and what they thought of his work — or the lack thereof.
He was asked about his variety of performances in the classic '80s flick's sequel, Back to the Future II (1989), including playing his own daughter, Marlene, and what his own three daughters thought of the role.
Funnily enough, though, he admitted that he wasn't actually sure whether they'd even seen it to begin with. "I don't know if my daughters have seen it," he said.
However, he said of portraying multiple characters in the film: "We had expectations. We took that pretty seriously. We want to be great." Not only did he reprise his role of Marty McFly, he also played his character's two children, Marty Jr. and Marlene. "We want to make [co-writer Bob Gale] happy most of all and just came through."

In a previous interview with Reader's Digest, the Family Ties star shared his parenting advice, which was: "Always be available to your kids. Because if you say, 'Give me five minutes, give me 10 minutes,' it'll be 15, it'll be 20. And then when you get there, the shine will have worn off whatever it is they wanted to share with you."

He added: "And you know, with Parkinson's, my kids just make the transition. If I am reaching for something, they will just do it and carry on."
