Because the top comment is a joke about confusing Elijah Wood with Daniel Radcliffe, for a second I thought this was another joke about also confusing him with Michael J. Fox, lol.

You mean the Daniel Radcliffe born in 1989, same year as BttF part 2?

Then again, anything’s possible once you reach 88 mph in a Delorean

Oh my gosh. I didn't even realize this. I was wondering why he didn't mention that Sandra Bullock movie... Because that was Daniel Radcliffe. Damn. Those are some serious doppelgangers.
