Last Wednesday, the world celebrated the day Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) arrived from the past to keep Marty's son from going to jail, and as everyone involved in the film trilogy was in the middle of meet and greets, a "Back to the Future" writer confirmed a long-standing theory about the trilogy's main villain.
For three films, either Biff Tannen or his family members from three eras (all played by Thomas F. Wilson) were responsible for making Marty's life a little more difficult during his time-traveling adventures in the DeLorean, and over the past few months, many have theorized that the character may be based on the likeness of one particular public figure, something that one of the "Back to the Future" writers has recently confirmed.
According to Rolling Stone Magazine, it's true straight from the mouth of "Back to the Future" writer Bob Gale, part of the team behind the awesome screenplay of the beloved trilogy: Biff is in fact based on Donald Trump!
"We thought about it when we made the movie! Are you kidding?" the "Back to the Future" writer told The Daily Beast about those ongoing comparisons to The Donald. "You watch Part II again and there's a scene where Marty confronts Biff in his office and there's a huge portrait of Biff on the wall behind Biff, and there's one moment where Biff kind of stands up and he takes exactly the same pose as the portrait? Yeah."
Oh, snap!
Of course, the "Back to the Future" writer is referring to the alternate reality where Old Biff goes back to 1955 to give his younger version a sports almanac that foretells every single sporting event in the last 50 years of the 20th century, a book that makes the bully a billionaire, a casino owner and an influential political figure with really bad hair - which certainly sounds a lot like a certain GOP presidential nominee.
As Mediaite reports, a few months back, before the "Back to the Future" writer confirmed the theory, a clip went viral mashing up Biff and The Donald - can watch it below!
