Michael and Christopher spoke at Comic Con in New York

Recalling a funny story about his late mother, the actor explained: "I was 23 years old, and I called her, she was in Canada, and I said, 'They want me to do this Steven Spielberg movie, but I have to do it at night and I have to do Family Ties in the daytime.' And she replied, 'You'll be too tired.'"

He added, "To this day — well, till two weeks ago — my mother thought it was a really bad idea for me to do Back to the Future. She loved the movie, [but she was right], I got tired."

Michael played Marty McFly in the cult trilogy

Phyllis was dedicated to raising awareness for diabetes and Parkinson's disease, something Michael himself has suffered with since being diagnosed at the age of 29.

Since taking a break from acting, the star has raised over $1billion to help find a cure for the debilitating disease via his organization, The Michael J. Fox foundation.
