It was a hazy shade of dating.
Michael J. Fox revealed that he “can’t even remember dating” The Bangles singer Susanna Hoffs back in the ’80s.
Fox, 61, made the revelation Friday while promoting his new Apple TV+ documentary “Still” which will focus on his life and battle with Parkinson’s disease.
“When I look at that period in the [documentary] it just seems crazy,” Fox told The Sunday Times. “Look at all the girls I dated. Some of them I can’t even remember.”
“I mean, I dated Susanna Hoffs from the Bangles, and I can’t even remember it,” continued the “Back to the Future” icon. “But that’s just an example. Stuff like that happened all the time.”
The “Teen Wolf” star and Hoffs, 64, briefly dated in 1986 before the singer of hits like “Hazy Shades of Winter,” “Manic Monday” and “Walk Like an Egyptian” went on to marry “Austin Powers” director Jay Roach in 1993.
Fox, of course, married his former “Family Ties” co-star Tracy Pollan in 1988.
According to the CDC, Parkinson’s is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s. The Parkinson’s Foundation reported that memory loss is also considered to be a primary symptom of Parkinson’s.
Fox, who was diagnosed with the affliction at the age of 29, also recalled in the interview how he once met the late Princess of Wales.
“I sat next to Princess Diana during the world premiere of ‘Back to the Future’ and I had to pee. And that’s all I remember,” said Fox.
“I had just been told a whole list of things that I could and couldn’t do, like not speaking unless spoken to, and not standing unless she stands. And so I was thinking, ‘What kind of math do I have to do to go to the bathroom?’”
“I can’t say, ‘I’ve go to go to the loo!’ So I sat there in pain for the whole time,” continued Fox. “And that was kind of the formula for that part of my life.”
The Post reached out to Fox and Hoffs for comment.
Recently the 61-year-old actor revealed that ‘damage’ from partying may have led to his diagnosis.
“I mean, there’s so many ways that you can … that I could’ve hurt myself,” Fox said in a “CBS on Sunday” interview with Jane Pauley. “I could’ve hit my head. I could’ve drank too much at a certain developmental period.”
Fox also claimed that it was very unlikely he would live to see another milestone birthday.
“I’m not gonna be 80,” Fox somberly said.
The “Family Ties” alum said over time it gets harder and harder to do things.
“I’m not gonna lie. It’s gettin’ hard, it’s gettin’ harder. It’s gettin’ tougher. Every day it’s tougher,” admits Fox. “You don’t die from Parkinson’s. You die with Parkinson’s.”
Fox’s acceptance of his inevitable death echoes his words of 2021 when he admitted he wasn’t afraid to die.
“I’m really blunt with people about cures. When they ask me if I will be relieved of Parkinson’s in my lifetime, I say, ‘I’m 60 years old, and science is hard. So, no,’” Fox candidly told AARP. “I am genuinely a happy guy. I don’t have a morbid thought in my head — I don’t fear death. At all.”
“Still: A Michael J, Fox Movie” will debut on Apple TV+ and in theaters on May 12.
