10. Ronald Reagan was offered a role in the movie
A perhaps unlikely megafan of the Back to the Future franchise was Ronald Reagan. He was the President when the first movie came out, and watched it in the White House movie theater. Apparently he was so entertained by Doc Brown’s comments about him – an actor-turned-politician – that he asked the projectionist to rewind and replay that scene.
He even referenced Back to the Future in his 1986 State of the Union address, saying, “Never has there been a more exciting time to be alive, a time of rousing wonder and heroic achievement. As they said in the film Back to the Future, ‘Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.'” As a result, producers offered him the role of the Mayor of Hilly Valley in Part III – an offer that Reagan did consider, but ultimately turned down.
