On Wednesday, Locklear, 63, shared a photo on her Instagram of herself smiling with Fox, 64.

“With one of my all time favorites,” she wrote in text at the bottom, adding, “Thank you Toronto Fan Expo,” which is where their reunion took place.

Fans were quick to exclaim over the photo in the comments.

One fan posted a gif of Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd, 86) in Fox’s classic 1985 movie “Back To the Future,” exclaiming, “Great Scott!” 

Another fan gushed, “This just makes my night. I loved you two in Spin City. This is awesome. So glad you guys had a good event together.” 

A third fan said, “love the photo, you both look great.”

Fox and the “Dynasty” actress last worked together on “Spin City.” The ABC sitcom ran from 1996 to 2002, set in a fictionalized version of the New York City mayor’s office. 

Fox starred as Mike Flaherty, the Deputy Mayor of New York, while Locklear joined the show in its fourth  season as campaign manager Caitlin Moore.

After Fox revealed he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, he left the series at the end of Season 4 in 2000, and Charlie Sheen became the show’s new lead for the last two seasons.

During the 90s Con in Daytona Beach, Fla., last year, Locklear opened up about the difference between working with Fox and Sheen. 

“The timing [difference] between Michael and Charlie I had to get used to. Michael is a fast guy, Charlie is mmmhmmm,” she said, according to People.

Due to their different acting styles, Locklear said she had to adjust her own talents to match her counterpart.

“So [the challenge] was really having to get my timing better. They get to be who they are and I’d get to be … not who I am,” she noted.

Although Fox has taken fewer acting roles in recent years after his Parkinson’s diagnosis, he still appeared at some fan conventions and takes some TV roles, such as a guest stint on the AppleTV+ series “Shrinking,” in which Harrison Ford plays a character with Parkinson’s.

Fox will be in Season 3, which doesn’t have an announced premiere date, yet.

“Michael’s courage, his fortitude and his grace, more than anything else, is on full display,” Ford told the outlet. 

The “Indiana Jones” star added about Fox: “He’s a very smart, very brave, noble, generous, passionate guy, and an example to all of us, whether we’re facing Parkinson’s or not. You cannot help but recognize how amazing it is to have such grace.”
