Harrison Ford won’t be giving up acting anytime soon. The Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star has been open about his future and stepping down is not an option.
During an interview with Chris Wallace, the CNN host asked Ford if he was retiring as the actor turned 81.
“I don’t do well if I don’t have a job,” said Ford. “I love to work…I love to feel useful. It’s my Jones, I want to be helpful.”
Wallace followed him and asked what he loves about acting, to which the star replied, “It’s the people to work with.” The intensity and intimacy of the collaboration … it’s the shared ambition, kind of out of words shaped on one side. I don’t plan what I want to do in a scene and I don’t feel obligated to do anything, but I’m naturally influenced by the things I’m working on.”
Ford may not be retiring from acting, but he is retiring from the role of Indiana Jones. The actor has said he will be playing the archaeologist for the last time in the upcoming movie Dial of Destiny.
“This is the last film in the series and it’s the last time I play the character,” Ford told Total Film magazine. “I expect it will be the last time he appears in a movie.”
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is slated to hit theaters on June 30, 2023. Other leading roles are played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook, Thomas Kretschmann, Toby Jones, Antonio Banderas and John Rhys-Davies.
