Back to the Future star Lea Thompson’s recent appearance took fans back to the 1980s. The 63-year-old was spotted walking through a farmer’s market in Los Angeles in her natural beauty. Her strawberry-blonde hair, casual gray sweatpants, white sneakers, and a sweatshirt supporting Kamala Harris gave her a relaxed look. She seemed as though she had stepped out of a scene from one of her classic films.
However, it was not just Lea Thompson’s appearance that caught attention, her calm in the face of personal and political issues also did. Having openly supported Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election, she admitted that she was “scared” for her daughters and uncertain about how to “move forward” after the results of the election.

In a recent interview, the Back to the Future star Lea Thompson gave a candid and vulnerable response when asked about her thoughts on the future, especially since her ex-fiancé Dennis Quaid showed public support for Donald Trump. She said, “I don’t feel so hopeful. I feel… scared,” Her voice trembled as she continued, discussing how she feared the implications of the election for her children and those personally affected by political policies.“I am a mom,” she explained. “I know people who have been very affected by having babies that have died.”
Despite her fears, Lea Thompson didn’t shy away from the fight. She said, “We fight the fights. We fight to fight and the battles that we want to carry. It’s just not a lot of fun right now.” In a moment of humor, she even referenced the time machine from Back to the Future, joking that America needed a DeLorean to turn back time.
