Overview
- Future Boy, published Oct. 14, 2025 by Flatiron Books, collects Fox’s reflections on his breakout year.
- Fox writes that a Teen Wolf prop man had him pose with a candy bar for product placement, prompting Fox to say he felt “like a whore,” to which the prop man replied, “Well, you are a whore.”
- Teen Wolf was shot before Back to the Future but arrived in theaters a month later, grossing about $80 million on a roughly $4 million budget as Back to the Future dominated the box office.
- Fox says he took Teen Wolf because the five-week shoot fit a Family Ties hiatus and it offered his first lead film role.
- He recounts replacing Eric Stoltz on Back to the Future after disappointing dailies and says Stoltz declined to be in the book yet responded wryly to a letter and kept a friendly correspondence.
