Robert Zemeckis' sci-fi comedy hopped between 1985 and 1955 - challenging the charismatic actors to play themselves at 17 and 47 with the help of prosthetic make-up. But what happened to the actors who played themselves thirty years on in the film? And what do really they look like in the future? (L-R) Aside from the brassy hair colour, Michael J. Fox - now 54 - really resembles the 47-year-old Marty McFly, Lea Thompson looks gorgeous at 54 - seven years older than the boozy, bloated Lorraine Baines-McFly and Christopher Lloyd - now 76 - rocked a shock of white hair as the 1985 version of inventor Dr. Emmett 'Doc' Brown - not too far from the look he sports today.

Mother-of-three Raquel de Oliveira has lifted the lid on her life in Rocinha, Rio de Janiero's biggest slum, and how she rose to the top of the brutal drugs world after taking control of her lover's business (pictured inset now, and in the 80s, at the height of her power). Naldo had been one of the most respected gangsters in the crime-ridden slum, until he was killed in a shoot out with police. Raquel (pictured as a child, left) fled the favela - but returned, to rebuild his empire, before falling prey to the drug herself, and losing everything.

The Chinese national anthem played as guests assembled in Buckingham Palace's grand ballroom last night for a white-tie dinner for the Chinese president, hosted by the Queen and Prince Philip.

Johan Potgieter, a fisherman swimming along the bottom of the ocean just off the South African coast, went head to head with a great white shark, fighting it off with the sharp tip of his spear.

Every dog in the neighbourhood joins in with the game as they try in vain to catch the illuminated dot by running up and down the street in Kolomna, near Moscow. There are eight animals involved by the end of the video, which is said to have been filmed by a woman named Adrina Filanuk - who claimed she was simply 'messing around with a child's toy'. Among the tens of thousands of viewers on YouTube was Steph Bond, who said: 'Any animal caught chasing a laser gets an automatic +1 added to its cuteness rating. That's international law.'

The world's wealthiest artist (pictured right) received planning permission for the project, despite officials describing the basement proposal as 'unacceptable' and suggested it should be rejected. The 50-year-old paid a whopping £39.5 million for the Grade I Listed home in north London (left) last year. The plans (inset) include demolishing and replacing the current caretaker's cottage at the rear and linking it to the main house via a 150ft-long mega basement.

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet (inset) was flying out of RAF Lakenheath when it came down into farmland in Red Mere, near Shippea Hill, five miles north-west of Lakenheath. The pilot died after ejecting from the plane, police confirmed, with his parachute spotted 'a mile and a half' from the downed jet.

RAF Akrotiri was said to have gone into lockdown after nearly 120 migrants, thought to be Syrian, were able to come ashore apparently undetected. It is the first time since the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean began that they have landed directly on UK territory, just a few hundred metres from the runway used by British fighters jets. A source on the island accused the Ministry of Defence of allowing the boats to reach the base 'unchallenged' and raised fears they could have been militants from the Islamic State. The MoD said that it expected the migrants to be handed over to the Cypriot authorities once they had been processed.

The 500 replica characters were placed on the steps at the Juyongguan section of the wall near Beijing for a promotional event yesterday.

The Force Awakens, which is released on December 17, is set three decades after Return of the Jedi - the third film in the original trilogy.

Francesca Kentish, a writer from London, tried on four different 'sexy' Halloween outfits to see what all the fuss was about. She tried a devil, maid, Mexican señorita and 'sexy cat' costume, with varying degrees of success. Francesca said the 'sexy schoolgirl' outfit (pictured far right) left her feeling 'a little nippy'; while the faux-latex bodysuit (left) was a hit, with Francesca saying it made her feel 'oddly empowered'.

The company has introduced touchscreens to 100 of its UK outlets which allow people to order and pay for their burger, which can be picked up or delivered to the table.

The raunchy two minute-long video shows Valeria Prokopenko (pictured), 21, who wants to become the next mayor of Odessa in south-west Ukraine, stripping down to her underwear. The jobless law graduate claims she made the video to compete in a beauty contest known as 'Miss Olymp' and did not expect it to surface before the elections. It is suspected an opponent posted it on the internet to damage her chances, but the raunchy footage could have the opposite effect.

The grand country house at Sunninghill Park in Berkshire was a wedding gift from the Queen to her second son in 1986 - but after the couple divorced 19 years ago, the sprawling property is now being razed to the ground. Pictures taken from the air show the once-proud 12-bedroom mansion has been reduced to a mound of rubble and a pile of wood. The Duchess of York (pictured, inset, with Andrew in 1995) lived there with daughters Beatrice and Eugenie following the divorce in 1996, but moved out in 2006.

The swish London pad is located at the top of Parliament House in the Capital - a newly built tower off Albert Embankment and Blackfriars Road. The walk-in-wardrobe (centre) was filled to help showcase the property's bespoke walk-in-wardrobe to life, but after realising potential buyers enjoyed rifling through the items on display, the developers decided to throw it in with property. (Clockwise from left) Inside the master bedroom; the lounge, which comes complete with features such as high-end crockery; the view of the Thames and Parliament with the London Eye in the background; the bespoke cupboards in the kitchen feature high-spec Gaggenau and Miele appliances.

David Ferrier had been walking his dogs Morgan and Riley along the beach at Kilnaughton on Islay when they spotted the dolphins in the water and the pets couldn't resist going to swim with them. Around three or four dolphins from the pod of 15 then come closer to the shore and spend around ten minutes with the dogs swimming and playing before the pets return to their owner.

At first glance, it looks as though Marty McFly's hoverboard is finally here... just in time for Back to the Future Day. But it turns out to be simply a clever illusion in which a fan manages to give the impression he is hovering on a skateboard. Dressed like the Michael J. Fox character from the 1989 film, his acting skills are pretty convincing - until a pair of black-clad legs behind the skateboard give the game away.

The violent history of Australia's Belanglo State Forest in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales has again been highlighted after it was revealed to be at the centre of another shocking murder. It is the notorious killing ground for 90s serial killer Ivan Milat (inset).

Bodie, in northern California, was a busy gold rush town that once boasted a population of 10,000 as well as hotels, a jail, a bowling alley and around 200 restaurants. Now the Wild West Town lies abandoned, but many of the historic buildings are still furnished with the personal belongings of their owners to give a glimpse of its former glory.

The spooky footage was captured on a dashcam and showed a car swerving from a road near Warsaw, Poland to avoid hitting a mysterious man.

Jody Steel, 21, from Los Angeles, uses body paint to meticulously transform people into the likes of the Joker (left), Captain America (inset), and the Terminator (right) as part of her superhero series.

As these behind-the-scenes snaps from the Balmain X H&M; fashion show attest, even the world's best supermodels need a little helping hand when it comes to getting catwalk-ready.
