Lea Thompson was one of the people who helped make Back to the Future one of the most beloved movies of all time. Her performance as Lorraine McFly elevated the movie. But her famous daughters, Madelyn and Zoey Deutch, just cried at it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thompson remembered that tricky part of parenting as an actress to People<\/a> in an interview for Back to the Future’s 40th anniversary<\/a>. “My daughters were so traumatized by me kissing guys,” she said. “I don’t even know if I was with them the first time they saw the movie. They used to cry because when they were kids, I was doing Caroline in the City, and I would kiss a new guy every week. It would be on the TV and they’d start crying. They just became traumatized by watching me, so I didn’t show them anything. <\/strong>I’m surprised to this day when they can kind of quote something from the movie. I don’t remember showing it to them.”<\/p>\n

Back to the Future’s witty dialogue and endless charm made it a timeless hit among audiences worldwide. <\/p>\n

That’s something Thompson reiterated in another recent interview, this one with The Guardian<\/a>: \u201cI did not show them most of my stuff because I end up kissing people all the time and it was traumatic to my children,\u201d she said. \u201cEven when they were little the headline was, \u2018Mom is kissing someone that\u2019s not Dad and it\u2019s making me cry!\u2019<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

Thompson’s daughters are famous nepo babies<\/a> now. Madelyn Deutch appeared in the TV series Outcast <\/strong>and also starred in her mother’s directorial debut The Year of Spectacular Men. Zoey Deutch has also found acting success:<\/strong> she’s known for Everybody Wants Some!!, Zombieland: Double Tap, and Clint Eastwood’s Juror No. 2<\/a>, among other things.<\/p>\n

Amid the natural disaster in Southern California, the cast of Back to the Future shared a special message to the residents.<\/p>\n

Back To The Future Flirts With Incest<\/p>\n

There’s another reason why Thompson’s daughters may have been traumatized by her kissing one guy in particular, though. In Back to the Future, Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) accidentally splits his mother up with his future father, George (Crispin Glover) and, unfortunately, his mother starts to fall in love with him instead<\/strong>, eventually kissing him. It’s very funny, but oh so awkward.<\/p>\n

Thompson had no qualms whatsoever about the incestuous scene. “I got a good compliment from [director] Bob Zemeckis. He was, like, ‘You just went for it,'” she remembered to the New York Times<\/a> in 2010. “I was, like, ‘Well, thank you.’ I sure did. I loved the twisted part of that character. <\/strong>I loved that play on innocence and that scene when I kiss him, and all of a sudden, some weird part of the space-time continuum reaches out and I\u2019m, like, ‘It\u2019s like kissing my brother.’ I used this image of a cat in heat when I was playing her. Even my voice, I kind of had this weird purr to my voice.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

And let’s face it, that’s not what kids want to see from their mother.<\/p>\n

Back to the Future is streaming now on Prime Video.<\/p>\n
