Harrison Ford, 83, Confirms No Plans to Retire from Acting

At 83, Harrison Ford has no plans to retire, emphasizing that acting is unique in requiring older actors for older roles. Ford reflected on his long career, including iconic roles such as Han Solo in Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and his recent portrayal of Thaddeus Ross/Red Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Captain America: Brave New World. He fondly recalled the dynamic filmmaking era of the late 1970s and 1980s when young directors revolutionized Hollywood, and he considered himself fortunate to be part of that creative wave. Ford also shared a humorous incident from the Blade Runner 2049 set, where he accidentally punched co-star Ryan Gosling during rehearsal. Despite his decades in the industry, Ford continues to enjoy storytelling and acting, recently wrapping up season three of the Apple TV+ series Shrinking, which earned him his first Emmy nomination. His enduring passion for acting underscores his belief that the profession values and needs actors of all ages.
