Actor Michael J. Fox recently gave fans a heartfelt glimpse into a cherished father-daughter moment, posting rare photographs of his daughter Esmé Fox on her 24th birthday.
In his Instagram tribute on Monday, Nov. 3, the 64-year-old actor reflected on Esméâs journeyâfrom sitting on his shoulders at a marathon finish line to running alongside him as part of The Michael J. Fox Foundationâs âTeam Fox.â
In one throwback image, a youthful Esmé watches the New York City Marathon while perched on Foxâs shoulders, both sporting Team Fox gear.
A second photo captures a more recent scene: Esmé, now an adult, mid-race, embracing her father at the finish line with visible pride and emotion.
Fox captioned: âEsme⦠then⦠and now â you did it! You are amazing, congratulations! Your Dood is very proud, oh yea and happy birthday! ð§¡â
Fans Couldnât Get Enough of the Touching Moment
The post resonated with fans, who commended Fox for sharing such personal and celebratory content.
Many noted how the images symbolize not just athletic achievement, but familial support, resilience and love.
“Absolutely beautiful! Congrats to Esme and Team Fox!” one user wrote.
Another added, “I saw her out on the course and said ‘Go Team Fox.’ I had no idea sheâs your daughter. Thanks for taking a picture with me and being so kind.”
Foxâs tribute also reminds the public of his long-standing commitment to Parkinsonâs disease research and advocacyâan issue deeply personal to him since his own diagnosis in 1991.
Fox Is All About Family
Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan are all about family. The two first met in 1985 when they played love interests in the popular show âFamily Tiesâ and ended up dating years later.
They share four children together: Sam, Aquinnah, Schuyler and Esmé.
The “Back to the Future” star often speaks and shares sweet posts about Pollan. As he promoted his new book, “Future Boy,” he spoke with PEOPLE about what his wife means to him.
âSheâs my best friend, my partner,â Fox told the outlet. âTracyâs the first person I check in with and the last person I check in with.â
Fox even stated he keeps his accolades in his office and not in his home. The 64-year-old even added that his children have never been really interested in his acting career, and instead just think of him as dad.
âThey havenât been historically curious about my career,â he added. âEveryone has led their own lives. Theyâre great people.â
