>“I don’t mean to disparage it,” Ford added on a more serious note. “I’m just saying you have to do certain things that normally your mother would not want you to do — or your acting coach, if you had one. But it’s fun, and I enjoyed it. I had a great time, and I’m delighted at the response that we got with the trailer.”

>In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Ford spoke highly of Marvel when answering a question about how the MCU stands out compared to his other iconic franchises like “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones.”
>“It’s a whole different cut of cloth, isn’t it?” he said. “Free of some normal constraints to the imagination. It’s delightful to deal with and it’s fun. The people I worked with were fantastic. The director, Julius Onah, did a terrific job. Mr. [Anthony] Mackie is great fun to work with. We had a good time. I enjoyed it.”
Makes you wonder which actor has played the highest number of fake US presidents. This is Harrison’s second I think, will be hard to top the other one
Michael Caine on Jaws: The Revenge:
> I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific.
Harrison saying Harrison things, nothing to see here
I tell you this folks, there is a “box office bomb” stamp all over this movie.
He’s just spitting truth. Besides, he said he still had a lot of fun.
The thing is, these aren’t gigs for the drama-hungry, introspective thespians looking for life-changing roles to stick on their resumés. They’re popcorn flicks shot on giant sound stages covered in green screens, and they also happen to come with enormous paychecks.
Wow he’s so cool. 🤮
Edit: Edgy 90 year old.
That’s Ford. He loves his cranky schtick.

Guys a legend. He’s the reason I will see this movie.
I still think Mark Ruffalo will be in this movie. Red Hulk and the Leader, but no actual Hulk? No way are they leaving him out.
Lmao that’s the most Harrison Ford quote I think I’ve ever heard. Dude is just becoming a more concentrated version of himself as he ages.
Tbh I don’t really ever want to hear what Ford thinks of his job. He’s had such a blessed life and he acts so put upon and sick of us all it’s kind of frustrating.
The headline doesn’t include the entire quote, which is a lot less negative than the headline
It’s the Carpenter’s life. Sometimes you’re working with mahogany sometimes you’re working with MDF.
I admire Harrison’s work ethic. “Fuck it, just pay me.”
God I know people love him but I find Harrison ford to be the most over rated actor in films today . It’s like you can either be a mediocre actor or a grumpy asshole but you can’t be both and yet…
Harrison used to be kind of a cute curmudgeon, but he is ebbing into bitterness now. If you don’t like acting, just fucking retire, dipshit.
Nobody asked, you whore.
It’s Harrison’s version of Butler essentially becoming Elvis during the pandemic and then having to break out of it gradually.
I know people like this “grumpy old man Ford” thing, but for about a decade now, every movie he’s been in has suffered for it, IMHO.
Says the great American film actor WHO TOOK THE FUCKING MONEY. God these fuckers get really high and mighty AFTER they take the cash for this “no art” we call superhero movies.
All marvel actors. Act like an idiot for money
One thing he makes clear is that he had fun, and one thing I love about Marvel movies is that you can often tell when the actors involved are having fun (even if it’s a bit of projection), and it does increase the delight factor for me as a viewer. Like the Oceans series (minus 8, which was dour) — those folks were having a ball, or at least do a great job of making you feel they are, and it’s infectious.
Harrison Ford looks like he did not care when acting since 1977
