Back to the Future cast today - from disease tragedy to five marriages
The iconic film was released 40 years this week and went on to become one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made - but it nearly didn't make cinema screens at all It was in the summer of 1980 that screenwriter Bob Gale found his dad's old high school yearbook in his parents' basement - and wondered if they'd have been friends. 'Was my dad one of those rah-rah, school spirit kind of guys that I couldn't stand?' he wondered. "What would have happened if I'd gone to high school with my dad - would I have had anything to do with him or not?' Gale, whose feature films so far had flopped, returned to Los Angeles and mentioned the idea to writing partner and director Robert Zemeckis. Zemeckis made a wisecrack about what Gale's mother might have been like at high school - and Back to the Future was born. The huge summer blockbuster, released 40 years ago on July 3, 1985, spearheaded one of the greatest sci-fi trilogies ever made. From self-lacing trainers and hoverboards to a modified DeLorean, which time travels at 88mph, the movie captivated 80s teens and still holds a nostalgic place in the hearts of millions. But Back to the Future nearly didn't make cinema screens at all. The two writers signed a development deal with Colombia Pictures. The script's first draft had Marty as a video pirate who sold bootlegged VHS tapes of Hollywood movies. His time machine was a kitchen fridge running on Coca-Cola - until the writers predicted problems if kids copied him - opting instead, for a beaten up, modernised DeLorean car. But Colombia studio bosses were unimpressed by the script. Then Gale claimed Disney told him: 'Are you guys out of our minds? This is Disney, and you're giving us a movie about incest!' Over the next three years 40 different film studios rejected the script. 'Everyone was pooh-poohing it and saying nobody's going to see this movie,' said Gale. With just two box office flops - I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Used Cars to their name, the duo also wrote the Steven Spielberg's least successful film, 1941. Eventually, Zemeckis broke off to direct Romancing the Stone, with Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. A huge hit, he became a hot Hollywood property and Universal Pictures took on Back to the Future, with Steven Spielberg, who had always loved the script, as executive producer. First, Universal's president Sidney Sheinberg wanted some revisions. First, he wanted the movie to be called Spaceman From Pluto - because of the comic book shown by the boy when Marty crash lands the DeLorean in the barn. Gale recalled: 'Every single person at Universal loved the title Back to the Future except for Sid. So we went to Steven (Spielberg) and said, 'What are we going to do?' 'Steven wrote a memo back to Sheinberg saying, 'Dear Sid, thanks so much for the humorous memo. We all really got a big laugh out of it'. 'Steven knew that Sid was too proud to admit he'd meant it seriously. And that was the end of it.' There were other objections from the studio. One was to the car. Universal at first insisted on a Ford Mustang, as the company had offered to pay for the placement, but Gale refused. 'I said, 'No, no no, Doc Brown doesn't drive a f***ing Mustang. It has to be a DeLorean.' But the most momentous mistake was the casting of Marty. Their first choice had been Michael J Fox, who was busy working on his sitcom Family Ties. John Cusack and Johnny Depp auditioned, but the role went to Eric Stoltz. Then, six weeks into filming - almost halfway through the schedule - Gale recalled: 'The humour just wasn't coming through with Eric.' Director Robert Zemeckis had to fire Stoltz, recalling it as "the hardest meeting I've ever had in my life and it was all my fault. I broke his heart." Reshooting Stoltz's scenes added $4 million to the movie's budget. The new Marty, of course, was Michael J Fox, who the movie would turn into a global star. Family Ties agreed to release him on condition that the TV show took priority - with Fox filming both simultaneously. Zemeckis recalled the actor's exhausting schedule, saying: 'Michael never slept. We shot the daylight exteriors at the weekend, but the whole shoot was pretty much at night. All I remember is never seeing any daylight.' Fox somehow squeezed in guitar lessons, so he could play Johnny B Goode not for note at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance - one of the movie's most memorable scenes. Gale recalled his favourite day on the set being the night Fox started. 'Just seeing how excited he was to be there and knowing that he really was Marty McFly,' he said. 'He had this infectious energy. On that first night of shooting with Michael J Fox we knew this was really good.' However, Stoltz can still be glimpsed in one scene, when Marty punches Biff in Lou's cafe. There's a blurred glimpse of Stoltz's face - kept because it was deemed better than Fox's reshot version. After 100 days of filming, shooting wrapped on 20 April, 1985 - with an August release date planned. Spielberg remembered the first preview, saying: 'Except for ET, it was the greatest preview I ever sat through. 'The audience just never stopped laughing and never stopped applauding every set piece. By the time the lights went up, the preview audience owned Back to the Future.' The rapturous reception prompted Sheinberg to move the film's release to July - when it smashed box offices around the world, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1985 and spent 12 weeks at the top of the US box office chart. It also won an Oscar for best sound effects editing. Huey Lewis and the News, who wrote the film's soundtrack including No1 hit The Power of Love, were propelled to global fame. Sequels followed in 1989 and 1990 and it continues to win new fans with a hit West End musical. As Gale said: 'There's something very special about this story that everyone can identify with, the idea of trying to imagine what your parents were like when they were kids - that just touches everybody.' Where is the cast now? Michael J Fox - Marty McFly Went on to star in a string of huge films including Teen Wolf, The Secret of My Success and The Frighteners. He also starred in his own sitcom Spin City and voiced Stuart Little in the film franchise. In 1998 he revealed his Parkinson's diagnosis, becoming a leading voice for research into the disease. Aged 64, he has been married to Tracy Pollan since 1988 and they have four children. Christopher Lloyd - Doc Brown Enjoyed a long career in film, playing Uncle Fester in The Addams Family, Commander Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and voiced Rasputin in Anastasia Now 86, he has been married five times, and most recently wed his real estate agent Lisa Loiacono in 2016. Lea Thompson - Lorraine Baines-McFly (Marty's mum) Went on to star in the sitcom Caroline in the City from 1995 to 1999 and the teen drama series Switched at Birth. Competed in Dancing With the Stars in 2014. Now 64, she's been married to her Some Kind of Wonderful costar Howard Deutch since 1989 and they have two daughters, Madelyn and Zoey. Crispin Glover - George McFly (Marty's dad) Appeared in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Charlie's Angels, Alice in Wonderland and Hot Tub Time Machine. Aged 61 and now the author of over 20 books, he has his own publishing company. Claudia Wells - Jennifer Parker (Marty's girlfriend) Shunning the limelight to start a men's clothing brand, the 58-year-old briefly returned to acting in 2011 with a small role in the independent science-fiction film, Alien Armageddon. Thomas F. Wilson - Biff Tannen (George's bully) Appeared in the Back to the Future TV series, before starring in TV show Freaks and Geeks. Aged 66, he has been married to wife Caroline Thomas since 1985 and they have four children.

Lorde dares to bare as she strips off for Vogue Australia - after shocking fans with X-rated album cover
Lorde has continued her X-rated era with a racy shoot for Vogue Australia. The New Zealander, 28, stripped off for the fashion magazine's July issue, posing in underwear and a revealing frock. On the cover, the pop singer fronts the camera in a black, lacy bra paired with worn-looking loose trousers. Inside the magazine, Lorde wears a dramatic, plunging gown that flaunts her chest and slender figure. In her interview with Vogue Australia, Lorde says she chose What Was That to be the first single from her new album, Virgin, as she felt she had regained her voice through the uptempo track. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In her interview, Lorde says she chose What Was That to be the first single from her new album, Virgin, as she felt she had regained her voice through the uptempo track Lorde also ruminated on what success means to her these days, and says it has changed. 'Success then was the cover of Rolling Stone, winning a Grammy, my friends thinking my EP was cool, my heroes shouting me out' she said. 'Success now is having the big moments feel like play and being fully aligned inside, not just having it look right on the outside.' It comes after the hitmaker sent fans into a frenzy with a surprise performance at Glastonbury on Friday, which saw her whip her top off in the sweltering heat. Thousands of fans flocked to the Woodsies stage after rumours of a set from the Royals hitmaker spread around Worthy Farm. Such was the excitement that bosses announced the stage had temporarily closed due to overcrowding shortly before her set began. The singer - who previously graced The Pyramid stage in 2022 - performed all of her biggest hits from Ribs to Green Light, as well as a rendition of her new album. The show came on the same day as she dropped supporters' jaws after unveiling the cover of her new vinyl - which featured a very racy photograph. The singer had already raised eyebrows with the project's main artwork, which features an x-ray of her pelvis - inter-uterine device included. However, the vinyl for Virgin - Lorde's fourth studio album and first since 2021's Solar Power - is even more explicit and features what appears to be her genitals beneath a pair of see-through plastic pants. Taking to social media to express their shock, some fans worried about their family members potentially seeing the NSFW cover. They shared on X/ Twitter: 'So the new Lorde vinyl just got delivered. I was not prepared for the insert'. Another said, 'Lorde really got her cat out like that on her vinyl huh?' one more wrote: 'My Lorde vinyl is getting delivered to my parent's house I'm scared [sic].' Others added: 'when you open your Virgin vinyl and see lordussy' and 'should've stayed curious about the Lorde vinyl'. However, not everyone was so critical of the vinyl's artwork and others described it as 'beautiful' and far from being shocking. 'A lot of you are being very weird about the Lorde vinyl cover… who tf cares if her lordeussy was out. It's just a body' someone wrote. 'Wait... Is this the new album art from Lorde that everyone is talking about? It's a beautiful photo, and the entire vinyl package is, too, but come on, it barely shows anything. No need for all the discourse. 90's Madonna would kill you all [sic].' Others said that the reaction to the vinyl was so extreme that they expected it to be a lot more explicit than it actually is. 'I really thought the Lorde vinyl insert would be a lot worse than people are saying it is, you guys are kinda dramatic' one said. Lorde is one of the highest-selling New Zealand singers of all time and her 2013 song Royals reached number one in America, eventually being certified 14 times platinum.

Lizzo puts Ozempic results on full display in tiny swimsuit after coming clean about weight loss aid
Lizzo proudly displayed her reduced frame on Friday - a week after she finally admitted to briefly using Ozempic to aid in her dramatic weight loss. Firing up her Instagram page, the 37-year-old singer posted an album of herself in a high cut one-piece swimsuit that left little to the imagination. She allowed her more than 11 million followers to catch a glimpse of the look from various angles, twirling this way and that for the camera. Her new album also featured a video that showed her posing in the swimsuit while a gentleman sprayed her with what appeared to be sunscreen. That night, the Juice hitmaker stepped out to dinner in a slinky, skintight cocktail dress that also highlighted her slimmed-down figure. The Detroit-born pop act was headed out to the upscale West Hollywood eatery Craig's, which has established itself as a local favorite among celebrities. She opted for a notably sheer dress that was cut off at mid-thigh, teamed with matching heels and a dazzling necklace. The Truth Hurts singer dropped her Ozempic bombshell last week during an episode of Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast. The Grammy winner explained that she started to take the drug at the beginning of her weight loss journey in 2023, but soon came to the conclusion that GLP-1 medication wouldn't help her in the long term. 'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full.' Lizzo then added, 'But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' When it came to the star achieving her weight loss goal, the performer explained that her change in diet was the major factor. Lizzo had been following a plant-based diet for many years - including only consuming vegan foods from 2020 through 2023. 'What did it for me is, it was not being vegan,' she told Trisha. 'Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. 'I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full. But really I was consuming 3,000-5,000 calories a day.' The songstress also talked about how some food products - even if they are small in size - can be packed with 'fake sugar' that can leave you still feeling hungry. 'So for me, when I started actually eating whole foods and eating like beef, and chicken, and fish. Like, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up.' While the star made the choice to stop taking Ozempic early on, she stated that she didn't see it as 'cheating' for those that have taken the medication to help with losing weight. 'It's not easy. It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with,' the performer expressed. 'I think their way of being fat phobic when you're telling someone they're cheating.' It was previously revealed back in January that Lizzo lost 16% of her body fat and reduced her body mass by 10.5. When it comes to how she feels now after dropping the weight, Lizzo explained, 'I feel like I worked really really hard and it was intentional with what I did with my body. 'So when I get compliments, I go, "Thanks b***h." Like I really receive it because I need to receive that. I don't take it any weird way because I tried to do this.' Last year, the singer had shut down allegations that she was taking Ozempic in order to achieve her slimmer figure. At the time, she shared a short Instagram reel as she posed wearing a colorful, satin robe while her hair was pulled back into a low up do. The star added text towards the bottom which read, 'When you finally get ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.' Lizzo then shared a screenshot of a comment from a social media user where they accused her of taking ozempic or 'coke.' The songstress had also been promoting pieces from her Yitty brand in a clip and wrote, 'What's is it… THE BRAIDS?! Cotton Bodysuit by @yitty.' The troll had typed in the comment section, 'did she use ozempic or did she snort coke.' In response, the Grammy winner wrote, 'whyyyy do u follow me?' followed by four crying face emojis. Lizzo then shared a screenshot of the Instagram user's account which had been set to private. Earlier this year in January, the singer proudly announced that she had achieved her weight loss goal. On Instagram at the time, she shared: 'I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. 'I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!' And in April during an episode of the On Purpose With Jay Shetty podcast, Lizzo explained how she uses the term 'weight release' instead of weight loss. She credited her boyfriend Myke Wright and explained, 'My man, he's so funny. He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, "Oh my gosh I lost five pounds" and he was like, "Where did it go?" 'I was mad at him, I was like, "Why would he say that?" but he was like, "Where did it go?"' The Good As Hell hitmaker further explained that she did not want to 'lose anything' but instead wanted to 'win.' Lizzo expressed, 'I want to be very intentional about the words that come out of my mouth because there's young people who are watching me and they're experiencing what I'm putting into the world. 'They're applying it to their own experience and their own life just like I did when I was a kid.' The star then got candid about 'how the media treated people who gained and lost weight' had an effect on her 'brain chemistry. 'Be careful with your words because it can affect somebody in ways you don't even know.' The performer added, 'Even me releasing the weight has affected people and I take that seriously. I take that responsibility. And because of that I want to transmute it into something that makes people feel comfortable and less afraid of it.' During a recent appearance on The Jason Lee Show, Lizzo explained why she hasn't revealed exactly how much weight she has lost. 'If I say the number, I don't think people could do the math. I've just seen a lot of TikToks where it's like, "Lizzo talks about her 500lbs weight loss!" Why are y'all putting numbers on me? It kind of annoys me.' Also on Thursday, the star further showed off her weight loss while making an appearance at the Dodgers game in L.A. The singer sported a pair of fitted white capri pants as well as a cropped shirt that had 'Juneteenth' embroidered on the front. She slipped into a pair of white pumps and allowed her platinum blonde locks to flow down straight past her shoulders. Lizzo opted to add minimal accessories to the look and also sported a pair of silver shades. The Good As Hell hitmaker was seen strolling onto the baseball field to throw the ceremonial first pitch before the Dodgers took on the San Diego Padres. Before testing out her skills by throwing a pitch, the singer was spotted standing on one side of the baseball field at Dodger Stadium Lizzo also had the chance to take part in the Celebrity Softball Game at the venue to celebrate Black Heritage Night.
