Michael J. Fox would not be thrilled if Taylor Swift dated his son, Sam, who served as this year's Mr. Golden Globe. Then again, what father would be, seeing as many of her ex-boyfriends manage to make their way into her music -- and are not always painted in the best light?

During the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, co-host Tina Fey jokingly warned Swift to "stay away from Michael J. Fox's son."

So when New York magazine's Vulture blog caught up with Fox this week and asked if he would support a romance between the 23-year-old country-pop starlet and his son, also 23, Fox said, "No. No...Just back off."

The 51-year-old actor added, "I don't keep up with it all. But Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career."

When asked if he would recognize Swift, if she showed up to a family dinner, for instance, Fox, said, "I wouldn't even know who she was." But he said he might put it all together if a song about his son surfaced later on. "Yeah, exactly," he said. "'Sam, You Piece of [Expletive].' Oh...that was the girl you brought home!"

Swift has dated the likes of John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas and Conor Kennedy. She most recently got cozy with One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles, but they have reportedly split. Swift was seen leaving their recent Caribbean vacation early -- and alone.

Fox, meanwhile, will star in an upcoming NBC comedy later this year.

We all love ya Mike ,I grew up watching you and i think iam about the same age as you .Your smart to not let Taylor Swift date your son .She is not a good person because she is like a walking tabloid.She trashes all her ex's and i think she is very immature .You and your family have too much class to get involved with a person that plays the victim in all her songs and makes her ex-boyfriends look so bad .She should be sued for slander and give up her royalties for the songs she sings to exploit people .I think she was after Tim McGraw for awhile and made advances right in front of his wife many times .Maybe i will write a song about Taylor and see how she likes being used .My prayers are with you and your family Mr.Fox .It hit me hard when i found out of your illness because i grew up watching your films and enjoyed all of them .I never missed a episode of Spin City and wish you could go back to making films .My prayers are with you .

All of this "debate" and it's like he sought out the media to nail Taylor to a cross or something. He was asked a question, and he responded. It doesn't matter if he didn't really know who she is, he just knows of her reputation, which speaks for itself. It's not just the media, exes have spoken out about it. A slew of them. If you want to dig her music, cool, it's all about personal taste, but think logically about it before you start going off on Michael. If you were a parent who had a kid in High School, for instance, and you knew there was some guy or girl with a bad reputation for dating around, and then telling it all behind their exes backs after dumping them, would you want YOUR kid to get involved with that person? It doesn't matter if the "rumors" are true or not, of course you wouldn't want your kid to be around that. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned. I'm a 27 year old dude, what do I know?

Taylor Swift is a skanky little trollop, probably has serial yeast infections from all the random sex. She is obviously emotionally damaged and high maintenance. She's not even pretty. With no makeup and wardrobe person to craft her image, she wouldn't rate a second glance. She's a gangly, pointy snooted, preying mantis-girl.

Even though I'm not a Taylor Swift fan and I don't think she has any talent, I still wouldn't be as mean and hateful as you! I think it's obvious that you're jealous!

Out of curiosity... I don't know much about Swift or celebrities.. but are all these famous dudes getting to nail her? Or none of them? Or some? Anyone know who nailed her and who didn't? She basically a ****? I mean, I do, virtually-speaking, nail her a couple times a week myself, but curious about reality too here, since she's the clean cut image I thought. Nothing wrong with screwing; I'm just wondering how it jives with apparent image. I like country music, so I see her on the country shows, even though her music ain't really C&W....

Most musicians write music based on their lives including Adele- I think her every song is about a guy she dated.

The story is not about me or what color I am if you even know my color. Lets stick to the subject and not direct your hate at people with racist innuendo or bigotry of intolerance. Obviously something I have said has caused you to attack my intelligence where I am supposed to not have an opinion as others have expressed without your comment aimed at them. American publicist has painted Taylor as a saint and women and men are voicing their 1st amendment right to free speech. Obviously you must be associated with her in some form to feel offended by the truth. Others have said worse about her- I tried to be tactful and give her the benefit of the doubt using Psychology 101. Women fart, men fart, women lie , men lie- why should society believe only men are hypocrites and not women. do you have stock in Taylors music and I am affecting it with wisdom....lol
