Douglas & Fox Reunite for 'The American President'.webp

Los Angeles, March 11 – Hollywood stars Michael Douglas and Michael J. Fox are reuniting 31 years after the release of their film, "The American President," which premiered in 1995.

A photo posted by Fox on his Instagram account showed the two actors sitting next to each other.

He captioned the photo: "Another California reunion. With my American President."

The film featured Douglas, 81, as widowed US President Andrew Shepherd, who falls in love with a beautiful lobbyist named Sydney Ellen Wade. Fox plays Lewis Rothschild, a staff member to the president.

The film was about President Andrew Shepherd, nearing the end of his term, who falls in love with Sydney, an environmental lobbyist, while attempting to pass a crime control bill and campaigning for a second term.

The movie was produced by the late Rob Reiner and written by Aaron Sorkin, and it served as the precursor to Sorkin's series, "The West Wing." The movie was nominated for five Golden Globes and one Oscar, for best score, according to people.com.

Fox has recently reunited with some former castmates and also shared a dinner with "Back to the Future" co-star Christopher Lloyd.

In a photo of that meeting, which Fox also shared on his official Instagram account, the two could be seen sitting next to each other at a restaurant.

Fox captioned the photo: "Having dinner with my best friend at the beach. Next year, "Back to the Future" will be 41. Great Scott. Chris will be. That's a big deal.”

Fox is currently starring in "Shrinking" season 3 alongside Harrison Ford.

The actor, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, came out of retirement to guest star as Gerry, a patient with Parkinson's. In the show, Gerry befriends Dr. Paul Rhoades as they both navigate life with the neurodegenerative disease.

The "Back to the Future" actor told people.com that it was "amazing" to work with Ford.
