Just saying, to see Michael, because I saw a screening of that movie and it really is sensational. I'm glad you liked it. I have to say that, isn't the real star of the film the car? Well, yeah, but you don't have to tell me that. Yeah. Yeah, no, the car is incredible. Well, this is a DeLorean car which goes back and forward into the future. Right. And takes you back into the past and then you're going to try and get back to the future, which is how the title... You can never explain this movie. I thought I just explained it in ten seconds. I can't explain it so people really have to go and see it. But yeah, it's a DeLorean that this friend of mine who's a mad scientist converts into a time machine. And I get kind of trapped in it. It takes me back to the 50s. And I run into my parents and screw things up royally. And I have to kind of get it. I have to introduce my parents. Otherwise I won't exist. And my mother is kind of smitten with me, which is a sticky situation. That's right. But the film manages to get over that Yeah, it really handles it really well Edible situation Right, right It's the kind of all-American teen hero that you play though, isn't it? Kind of, yeah, which is good for a Canadian You didn't feel a bit uneasy being a Canadian player? No, it's kind of funny actually Because people say that, yeah Kind of the all-American kid from Vancouver Which is really great Would you like, I mean, the thing about the film Was you went back in time And subtly changed your own life by being back in the past. Right. Would you, I mean, did it make you think at all? It certainly made me think watching the movie, how much you'd like to go back in time and see things. I didn't, you know, I thought about that, because it was something I thought about when I was doing it. What would I change? What would I alter? I don't think I'd change it. I mean, it worked out all right. I mean, here I am. It's a good time for you, yeah. In England. How old were you? Somebody paid for my tickets. You're supposed to be about 17 or 18 in the movie, right? Right. How old are you in real life? That's right. Are you? No, I have 24. You don look it No I know I know I think I made a deal somewhere along the line that I don want to know about You haven got a painting in an attic anywhere have you Yeah there may be There may be But yeah I just been real lucky How did you manage to stay so fresh doing that movie? Because I know you were also shooting that very successful Family Ties series that you do in the States. It was a strange situation because I worked on Family Ties from 10 in the morning until about 6 at night. And then I'd get in the car and go over to Universal and work until about 2, 2.30 in the morning. But the people, the energy involved with the other people in the film was just so great. You were just so inspired when you got there. Bob Zemeckis, who directed it, is a total lunatic, but happily can be productive in society by making films. And he really had a lot of energy. And I guess the other Stevie Wonder, not the one who was here tonight, but Steven Spielberg, certainly had things going and under control. So it was something that I really believed in. You're an American now with the success of Back to the Future, who I suppose could be regarded as a superstar, and yet here, the movie hasn't opened yet. So, so, nobody knows who you are. Yeah. Where would you rather be? Well, where would I rather be? Here or in the States? Well, this is fun. This is fun. Especially, I went out for a drink with some friends on Saturday night, when I first got in, and I was quite glad by the end of it that no one did know who I was. But it's kind of nice to have a bit of both. Before it hits and it hits as it will very big. Especially because London is such a great walking town, you know, and it's a great place to get out and walk around and see everything. So it's nice to have seen it like this before. Either they see the movie and like me and stop me and talk to me or see the movie and want to stone me. So one way or the other, I've seen London. I don't think they're going to want to stone you. I think you're going to be very, very big indeed. It's a wonderful movie. I hope that everyone here likes the movie. It's a lot of fun.
