In a July 30 interview with Variety, Harrison Ford, known for his roles in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, said, "What I find appealing about this job is that even as you get older, there are still roles to play because there are still characters that need older actors to portray them,".

The actor still finds joy in acting. Embodying various characters helps him stay active and maintain a positive outlook. For Ford, each role is an opportunity to learn, connect with audiences, and contribute to meaningful storytelling.
Despite his age, Ford consistently appears in projects. Recently, he joined Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World as President Thaddeus Ross and completed filming the third season of Shrinking, the show that earned him his first Emmy nomination.
On set, the actor maintains positive energy. At the final shoot for Shrinking's third season, he thanked the crew: "You are the best in this industry. I love this place, I love the work, and I love all of you. I hope we get to come back and do it again,".
Ford also starred in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023), concluding over 4 decades with the iconic character. In 2017, he appeared alongside Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2049, a sequel to the classic science fiction film released in 1982.
He is among the few actors who have worked with leading directors like Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, George Lucas, Roman Polanski, and Francis Ford Coppola. In an interview with the Guardian, Spielberg said no one could replace Ford as Indiana Jones.
Born in 1942, Harrison Ford is a Hollywood icon, famous for his roles in Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner, The Fugitive, and Air Force One. His extensive filmography includes over 60 roles, many of which have grossed hundreds of millions of USD, with a total global box office exceeding 5.1 billion USD. Beyond his career, he is known for his private lifestyle and passion for nature. In recent years, Ford and his wife, actress Calista Flockhart, have lived on their ranch in Wyoming. He dedicates his time to environmental conservation and flying, a hobby he's pursued since the 1990s.
