The ’80s are making a comeback with Michael J. Fox reuniting with rock legend Joan Jett on the red carpet. The former co-stars from the 1987 film “Light of Day” came together at Fox’s foundation’s annual A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s event in New York City on Saturday, Nov. 15. The pair, who played siblings trying to break into the music industry in the movie, shared a special moment posing for photos at the gala.
During the event, Fox, 64, and Jett, 67, showed off their timeless cool as they smiled and gave a thumbs up for the camera. This reunion marks another chapter in their decades-long friendship, with Jett previously joining Fox for performances at the same benefit gala in 2003, 2011, and 2017. Accompanying them was Kenny Laguna, Jett’s longtime collaborator, adding to the star-studded affair that also included the likes of Denis Leary, Susie Essman, Nikki Glaser, Jon Stewart, Justin Long, Katie Couric, Julianna Margulies, George Stephanopoulos, Harlan Coben, and Kate Bosworth.
Fox’s family was also in attendance, with his wife, Tracy Pollan, and their four children – Sam, Aquinnah, Schuyler, and Esmé – joining him for the evening. The family photo captured at the event showcased their unity and love as they supported Fox’s ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease.
The reunion between Fox and Jett not only highlights their enduring friendship but also serves as a reminder of the impact of their roles in the ’80s cult classic “Light of Day.” Their red carpet moment was a blend of nostalgia and timeless friendship, showing that true connections in Hollywood never age.
