Michael J. Fox on the idea of his son dating SwiftOne of the funnier parts of the Golden Globes, aside from a supposedly drunk Glenn Close, was when Tina Fey called out Taylor Swift and told her to stay away from Michael J. Fox's son, Sam. It's presumed Fey was joking, and we never did get to see whether Swift was really trying to talk to Sam at the Awards or not. If she was, however, Sam might want to prepare a better introduction for his dad.
When New York Magazine's Vulture brought up the memorable moment to the elder Fox at a book party and asked if he would approve of the two dating, the actor said, "No. No .... Just back off." Perhaps part of the problem is that Fox only seems familiar with Swift's songwriting reputation - he admitted that if his son brought Swift home for dinner, Fox "wouldn't even know who she was." "I don't keep up with it all," he said. "But Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career."

His wife so georgous
srlsy diet coke.
Taylor is young and pretty and famous so everybody is going to be trying to date her or "mate her". How many times have famous women married men who were strongly pursuing them for the personalities and lifestyles not to work out ?
Taylor, my advice...take it slow, and really really get to know the person and all those around them. Keep the dating on the safe side and don't put your heart into someone too fast. Some will come after you for their own self fame, or for money, or clout. I pray through faith in Jesus Christ, one day you will find the right person.
Yup. I mean... what?
just cuz its dat doesn't mean its dat–datz so we find you..
I'm just waiting for Taylor's next album... I hear it's called "Kiss and Tell."
help michael bring in people...oh yea thats right nobody likes her.
let's we'll try for 3 more tommorrow plus me that's 4....
oh yea nothing...hi phil...did you sell anything today?
business as usual
your never win cuz your a phone hack
OOOOhh! Someone dared speak out against the Swift!! CAPS LOCK: FEEL THE M****R F*****G FURY!!!!!
😀
WIN!
bottom line–she can't do it....
hack in and hack in.....how are ticket sales going?
answer is: NO
so glad michael j. fox is doing well and very lucky.
Why not? Everyone else has.
taylor is decent and to this day never had a y infection-she is very proud of that. hello.
And you know this how?
Is there anyone famous (or semi-famous) for whom Ms. Swift has not spread her legs? I think not.
Do I detect a tinge of jealousy?
Tracy pollan is hot.
I'd tell him to hit that for as long as he could put up with her, and then drop the crazy b!tch.
You are creepy!
I guess his kid is just PERFECT like his PERFECT ASS! SO JUDGEMENTAL REALLY.
oh shut up
I like the people. All of them. I don't count a ray's patio tie about no sigh fan poo poo avid herthe
Michael J. Fox just RULES PERIOD. The man doesn't age and a big Thank You to Mr. Fox for your Parkinson's Foundation that has raised millions for research and Family Ties and Back To The Future 1, 2 and 3. Keep fighting and stay strong.
Oh Michael please keep you son away from that no talent sleeze! He is WAY too good a man for that wh*re! She has had good men & cheats on them every time. I guess cause she slept her way to where she is now, she knows no other way except to sleep with every man that looks at her. Keep your son far away for the ho!
Geez, Men kiss and tell all the time and this is just another attempt to discredit Taylors talent and her honesty. Were you in bed with her and all these supposed men she slept with? How do you know? And who have you slept with, huh? You don't think Jonas and Mayor treated her like trash? She is a young girl who worked herself up the hard way and she deserves every honor she has received. And althougn I like Michal J. Fox I think he was very wrong to make the comment he did. He is the father of young women after all and they deserve their right to speak their minds too.
Look at M.J. Fox and Tracey Pollan. They are celebrities with a marriage that not only survived hollywood but extra struggles with Michael's Parkinsons'. That is quite an accomplishment by 2 people in this day and age. They should
be the example for the rest of hollywood but the media doesn't seem to notice too much. The media would rather have the bad boys in the headlines.
go get her clay! hahahaha
MJF's son is Clay Aiken? Yuck! Swift has really poor taste and judgment.
that's why her cd's never sell well
love the first comment 'her cds never sell well' lol. I cant stand her but shes a mega mega superstar selling out arenas in five minutes. Two years ago she played in a down pour to 50 thousand, FIFTY, at Gillette Stadium..... so you're very confused
the woman is always to blame - taylor needs to use better judgement.
Taylor needs to realize love isn't a happy ending. Its a beginning to a life that still requires working at a relationship.
Why are people basing Michael? He told the truth. If you don't like the truth, than blame Taylor Swif.t Michael did not make that up – she has built a career on songs about breakups. Why do people get all offended when someone points out the facts? Time to face reality!
which leads to poor judgement which leads to poor cd sales.
()
Is it me or does MJF's son look like a young Eric Stoltz?
JLO sings like an 8 year old in the shower and deaf ears America digs it just because she gets all the TV attention.
If that was my boy I'd tell him to hit it and quit it. Stick and move boy. Stick and move.
If that were my boy, i'd tell him stick it quit it is all he could ever expect. UGLY
he is 42 she is 44....got it?
this from a guy who's character was gonna bang his mother
voted: waste of time–do NOT feel bad...i repeat do NOT feel anything for michael & family.

please bring to madona.
Dang. If they ever want to back another back to the future movie, they can use his son right now!
and don't blogging so seriously
same person...hurtful michael
you don't have any
make sure your daughter is monitored–behavior is still the same.
That's his son? Yikes, looks like he's made out of wax.
He looks now like the way they made him look in Back to the future Part 2.
please come up with more material..kay?
i recommend...
I think Michael has done a good job of keeping his family out of the media circus. They brought their kids and probably did not expect any advances from Taylor towads their son. I believe he was just being a protective father. Very understandable. If my Taylor wanted to date my son, I would suggest to him that he decline. Who wants a pop song written about you after the end of a relationship. I know Taylor is a signer and she is certianly not the first to write songs about her love life. I just wouldn't recommend if my it was my son.
pop song
What is the deal with TS ? Bizarre girl/woman......she is using these guys as promotional ads. Can't believe she would go from boys to men who would make mincemeat out of her. I don't think she puts out but she enjoys the publicity. She is probably going to turn up a lesbian. Right now, she is in the closet and keeping mum about it, sort of like Jodi Foster did for twenty years.
if she likes you a couple of drinks and against the wall you go...
Taylor Swift should enter rehab and stay there. She's an infectious disease. Michael J Fox is a remarkable person and he and his family are too good for that swift trash. Why doesn't she go and hang out with Paris Hilton – hey where did she disappear to anyway ????
we all have good families - keep moving..
is always a good break in between seasons....good morning dan how are you today.
For a living, he read what other people wrote. What a way to build a career.
ha!
As if she would date his dufus kid.
good for the soul

Old rat face must be writing a new album

she's talking to herself all day...great football right everyone!
Hey cnn, we all know you gave up integrity to put yourself in the liberal's pockets long ago, but on the blogs couldnt you at least be "fair & balanced" in your moderation? Just sayin...
Just like a conservative to make multiple jokes about a person with a debilitating disease. I found your little jokes about Michael's disease very inappropriate. You realize that there are people suffering with this disease, or you have a family member that is that reads your comments. I'm sure they weren't laughing at your jokes. CNN moderated your comments, because they were pretty insensitive, rude, and very crude. Why are conservatives such azz's?
if you need some help with cnn blogs..i have a contact over there...call me 201 777 7777
Marquee trolls are always stealing folks names and posting ugly, racist posts all the time. It's ridiculous.
ladies go seem him.
thank you
Sokpuppet, if you're looking for a right-wing echo chamber (and apparently you are), try Fox Nation. You and the other neanderthals over there can bash Parkinson's victims to your heart's content..
You call this important?
But sometimes I like to pretend I'm a potato.
Isn't that supposed to have an "e" on the end...............
Not necessarily Dan. Both with and without the e are considered correct spelling.
that is one weird looking kid, you should see other picture of him, yikes, you think michael would just be glad he had a girlfriend at all
i hate to call someones kids funny looking, but youre right.
He looks like a real young Gary Busey to me .
is my phone on?
I agree. They should have left him at home.
I think the issue here isn't Taylor Swift, it's that they are asking him about his son, which he probably considers hands off for media questions.
Michael J. Fox doesn't want his son getting hurt and then a song written about him. As a grandfather I can tell you it is not just the girls who get their hearts broken. Michael just sounds like a protective caring Dad.
Just a dad looking out for his kid. No parent wants to see their kid dragged through the mud in front of the entire country. Taylor makes money off of kissing and telling. I wouldn't want my son to date her either.
Grey Scruff front and center please.
If I dated Taylor Swift she could write all the songs she wanted. Just as long as I had the film rights.....
Why does everyone diss Taylor Swift because she dates? Think back people....didn't you date lots of people before you found "the one"? Give the girl a break.....she isn't even 25. Just because she uses her life experience as a basis to write songs does not make her a bad person. So many other artist's use life experience to express themselves....why can't she?
As a Canadian, I am ashamed of Michael J Fox's response.
But then again – he gave up his true citizenship to become an American.
Than explains it all.
That explains his rude remarks.
Sure, a lot of girls date around, but she writes songs and cries to the whole world when her relationships implode. That is why Michael dismissed the idea. Any reasonable parent would. Who wants their son to be the next one slandered by a Top 20 country hit? Not once have I ever heard a song about HER part in the breakups, other than "I was just too naïve". She has no class.
She is not crying about it – she is singing about it.
Like Alanis Morissette did when she recoreded "Bitter Little Pill".
Hmmm – I don't recall the American public dissing her for telling tales about her past relationships.
And by the way – Jay – girls don't "date around". They date to find a good guy to spend the rest of their lives with.
Give Taylor a break. She is like every other 23 year old girl in your country. She is testing the waters, hoping to find the man she should spend the rest of her life with.
Can you not wish her happiness? Or are you so jaded that you cannot believe in love?
Taylor has a lot of class. She may use her life experience to base her songs on...but never has she ever named names. We all guess – but she never tells.
what a glorious feeling i'm happy again
I wonder if a guy did the same thing. Many people would dump on him saying he should man up and move on. Maybe Taylor can just dust it off and move on like everyone else in the world. On another note, she owes Kanye West so much. Up until the MTV awards I never heard of her. God, you cannot buy publicity like that. Jeesh.
Girls don't "date around"? Since when? Ladies have just as much right to date around as anyone, and they exercise that right all over the place. Perhaps North America isn't the right place for you, there are many places on Earth where your views towards women are more accurate (though not by most women's' choice).
As a mother, I wouldn't want my kids laundry all over the radio either. Taylor falls in love with someone different everyday. She becomes clingy with the guy and the guy doesn't like it and breaks it off with her and she cries about it and writes a song. Alot of songwriters write about whats going on in their lives. but after a while writting about the same ole crap gets old.
terr – Kanye West needs to go away too! He's getting old too! Tired of his crap crying over everything that doesn't go his way.
When you make the top of the pile, everyone takes a poke at you. If you have no sense of humor, they poke harder.
i adore Michael. Mike and Tracy have more class than any actor will ever have and Mike he tells it like it is..... that taylor chick is nasty ...YOU ROCK, MIKE !!!
MJF is one of those actors that comes around once in a generation. Does good movies, lives a pretty stable life, no issues and say's the right things. Now I remember why I have all of his movies... FYI, I think Sandra Bullock and is this generations actress...
thank you..
remember - large ice coffee little cream no sugar, 1 tuna on toast plain, 1 large pickle...all the best
Taylor Swift seems to be the ultimate kiss and tell date. I wouldn't want to go out with her.
she's in a world of her own...
wanna head to the show?
i wish you could see the show...can i sky you in....haaaaaaaaaaaaa
yeppers...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Taylor Swift can write songs (at someone else's expense) but she is a weird looking freak who can't sing live to save her life. I like that Bradley Cooper told her to get lost when she tried to capture him in her spiders web at the Golden Globes. She's a KarTRASHian with a little more class.
brad loves young women
when it comes to young women...brad is underground with her now.
audiences want the foxes...yay!!!!!...and we be smokin haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
however don't let yourself be made fun of it doesn't make Mikey look good-Mikey is the man and we luvs him!!!!!!!
go fox m....good luck!!!!
On the topic of the article... anyone over 25 might wonder who Taylor Swift is. All I know is what the comedians say about her and most of it is ridicule regarding her dating choices and her penchant for describing it all in her songs. It's not good to be the object of such ridicule... no way to build a career.
As for Sam Fox... sure, even at my advanced age I can see that he is a fox and apparently too good for the weird girl.
i forgot my co-workers...wow.......
which is so important and they get along she said after all these years their marriage is calm and she loves
michael (photo above) so much..
too pee mmmm - poor thing.
appears to be a wonderful supportive wife to her man michael...my type of wife...i want to be the best girlfriend
i can be...
is short in height but he has big hands...no comment.
i'm sure i'm too heavy for michael j. fox...but i don't give a darn...get that over here Michael...
the fox's move their butts off....what support thank you ....spam? JOMAMA
because she's the one men desire and want no matter what her age is or what size she is.....she's the money drawer at the concerts...she's the won.

Can't wait to see the article about guys turning down Taylor Swift for dates. It's coming and soon. She's blacklisting herself.

have a special marriage..they are not dysfunctional. they are true married people.
So, you know them? How often does this real couple have you over for dinner? Ideas of Grandeur anyone?
Gina. Whenever they're in public, or articles, they talk about their strong bond and the trials they've been through. You also NEVER hear a disparaging word about them. I assume that's what was meant. Here's a quarter, buy a clue.
wow.
michael has a huuuuuuuuuge set of people coming to the show....hahahaha
Michael J. Fox is feeing alot better and back in the studio!!!
i am happy the right combination of meds are working for hime to help control most of the shakes he was having over the years...i'm glad he's much better and glad he's working.
total ass
Just about everyone here making fun of this guy with this terrible disease. Just further proof that the worst-of-the-worst of humanity shows up here at the Marquee Blog.
You mean people like Tina Fey and Michael J Fox making disparaging remarks about some female neither of them know? That's so liberal of them both.
