Michael J. Fox

Michael J. Fox first played Alex P. Keaton on “Family Ties,” but most of us remember him as the cute Marty McFly in “Back to the Future.” It was impossible not to have a crush on the handsome actor. Even after being diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson Disease, Fox continues to be optimistic and spread awareness of the disease.

An obsessed fan shares: “I used to daydream about marrying Michael J. Fox. It’s funny, too, because I grew up in a super liberal household — and his character on ‘Family Ties’ was uber-Republican. But man, did I want to end up with Alex P. Keaton. I loved how he was just as dorky and smart as he was cute.” — Meghan R.
