Will Harrison Ford ever retire from acting, or does he even want to?

Hollywood legend Harrison Ford may be 83 years old, but retirement isn’t even on his mind. In a recent chat with ‘Variety’, shared by ‘PEOPLE’, the veteran actor made it clear, he’s not done acting yet.

When asked directly about the idea of retiring, Ford responded with a firm “No.” He explained that acting is a profession where age can actually be an advantage.

“That’s one of the things I thought was attractive about being an actor—they need old people, too, to play old people,” he said with a smile.

Ford has had a long and successful career, starring in over 60 films. He’s best known for iconic roles like Han Solo in ‘Star Wars’ and the adventurous Indiana Jones in the ‘Indiana Jones’ series. Despite his age, Ford continues to take on new and exciting projects, showing no signs of slowing down.

He recently starred in the TV series ‘Shrinking’, a comedy-drama that earned him his first-ever Emmy nomination.

Ford also shared a funny memory from the set of ‘Blade Runner 2049’, where he worked with actor Ryan Gosling. During the filming of a fight scene, things got a little too real. “We were rehearsing and got too close, I accidentally punched him. I apologised right away. What more could I do? Can’t take back a punch. Just take it,” he said.

Laughing about it now, Harrison Ford added, “He’s a very handsome man. Still is.”

Even after decades in the business, Ford remains passionate about acting and says he finds joy in the work. He doesn’t seem bothered by the fast pace or by working with younger co-stars. Instead, he sees it as a chance to grow and learn, even now.

So, what’s next for Harrison Ford? If his recent projects are anything to go by, he’s far from finished. In Ford’s own words: “They still need old people. And I’m happy to help.”
