Michael J. Fox is sharing the impassioned, yet explicit, remark his wife of 34 years said to him that caused the actor to fall in love with her many decades ago.

In his revealing documentary "Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie," Fox discusses meeting Tracy Pollan on the "Family Ties" set. She was cast as his love interest in the show. "One day, we broke for lunch.

After lunch, we picked up where we left off.The moment she said her first line, I detected a hint of garlic and sensed an opportunity to have a little fun at her expense. 'Whoa, a little scampi for lunch, babe?'" Fox remembers of the moment.  "At first she said nothing.

Her expression didn't even change. But looking me dead in the eyes she said slowly, 'That was mean, and rude, and you're a complete and total f---ing a--hole.'" At the peak of his fame, starring in a sitcom and a part of a monstrous franchise in "Back to the Future," Fox admits he was not accustomed to being spoken to in such a negative way. "Nobody talked to me that way.This woman was completely unintimidated by whoever I thought I was.
