Drawing back to Sam’s wonderful news, Michael J. Fox’s son’s engagement is a beautiful nod to the legacy of love and family unity. It’s a testament to the strength of bonds that tie families together through shared histories and adored places.
As previously reported on November 11, 2023:
Michael and his son are close. The two share fond memories, some of which the actor has spoken about in his interviews. Michael once revealed that he let Sam go to bed in his cowboy boots because the little boy insisted. The actor allowed Sam as he realized he had no good reason to prevent him from going to bed with his shoes on.
The 62-year-old also opened up about a time Sam helped him deal with a troll on Twitter, now known as X. According to Michael, someone said something nasty about Parkinson’s online, and instead of letting it slide as he often did, he decided to respond, and Sam gave his father the perfect response.
Sam told his dad to reply with the letters, “SMH.” Though oblivious to what this meant, Michael did as he was told, and was surprised when the online bully apologized to him and called him “The king of the internet.” He asked his son, what SMH was, and Sam told him it stood for “Shaking my head.”

Sam, just like Michael, is in the entertainment industry, producing various media, including Ben Barnes’ “11:11” music video. His other works include “Good Grief,” a short film, and his dad’s documentary, “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie.”

The producer said it was fun being a part of show business and doing stuff behind the scenes in a way that’s different from what his dad did growing up. Sam also views red carpet events as a break from his normal life, where he works with farmers in New York.
Michael is proud of his son. When Sam turned 34 on May 30, 2023, the actor shared a picture of his son blowing off candles on a cake. He captioned the photo:
“Happy Birthday to my big bouncing baby boy @palekidd you are the best. Proud to be your pops. Love you!”

Sam is now a tall, grown man. Fans who saw the pictures Michael shared of him on his 34th birthday pointed out just how much he looked like his dad. “Actually he looks just like his daddy. And he’s gorgeous,” a fan commented. “Gosh, he looks SO much like you at that age!” another fan agreed.

More fans agreed that Sam and Michael were “like twins.” “Such a mini you Sam is❤️Happy Birthday,” a fan wrote. Fans were amazed by how greatly the producer takes after his father in appearance. “Never realized how much he looks like you until now!” a shocked fan said.
Michael retired from acting in 2020, but now Sam is in the entertainment industry, doing his father proud. The actor finds joy in watching who his kids are becoming in adulthood. Michael and Tracy Pollan are also still deeply in love and happily spending their time as empty nesters traveling.
