Harrison Ford's retirement: American actor makes emotional statement

Hollywood legend Harrison Ford had no plans to hang up his boots just yet.

In a recent chat with Variety, the Indiana Jones star opened up about his decades-long career and revealed why he’s still not ready to step away from the spotlight.

Ford says his love for acting hasn’t faded despite clocking nearly 70 years in the industry and appearing in over 80 titles.

"No. That's one of the things I thought was attractive about the job of an actor, was that they need old people, too, to play old people's parts," he told.

The 83-year-old icon recently wrapped season three of Shrinking, where he plays Dr. Paul Rhoades, a therapist living with Parkinson’s disease.

Notably, the Apple TV+ series also stars Jason Segel, and the Blade Runner actor’s performance just earned him his first-ever Emmy nomination.

The cast and crew got emotional during the final shoot, with Ford giving a heartfelt speech.

"[You are] the very, very best at what you do and how you do it. And how you make people feel is just [expletive] amazing," he said with tears in his eyes.

"I love this place. I love working with you guys," he added. "I hope we can all get back here and do it again."
