Although Fox received a lot of support from his family this past weekend, he has previously shared that his daughters have not seen one of his most iconic roles.

During a Back to the future panel at Los Angeles Comic Con in October, the actor was asked about the range of characters he portrayed throughout the trilogy, including Marty McFly’s daughter, Marlene — and what his real-life daughters thought of his performance.

“I don’t know if my daughters have seen it,” Fox admitted at the time.

In November, the actor shared a tribute to his daughter Esmé den Instagram on the occasion of her 23rd birthday.

“Esme, happy birthday to our renaissance girl,” Fox captioned the post. “You do it all.”

Continuing to express his love for her, he wrote: “Your Dood loves you very much. Who doesn’t? Keep living your best life. .”

Pollan, 64, also shared a birthday message to Esmé and wrote further Instagram: “I love you @esmeannabelle Happy Birthday!!! I love absolutely everything about you and I’m blessed to be able to explore the world with you! You are my heart .”
