One fan used his birthday as an opportunity to request that a remake of Back to the Future never be made. They said, “As it’s #MichaelJFox’s 60th birthday, let’s acknowledge that one of the few things we as a global community agree on is that ‘Back to the Future’ should never be remade, and that’s entirely because no one else can ever play Marty McFly. Happy Birthday @realmikefox ! We all love you.”
