At 82 years old and a whopping 62 years into his acting career, Harrison Ford is still experiencing “remarkable” Hollywood moments that leave him touched.
The Indiana Jones actor remains as busy as it gets these days, and has not one, not two, but three active projects either freshly released or coming soon: the second season of Shrinking, the second season of Yellowstone prequel 1923, and his official entry into Marvel with Captain America: Brave New World.
Now, in honor of the second season of Shrinking, which also stars Jason Segel, coming to an end, and his recent Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role on Television for his role as Dr. Paul Rhoades, he is reflecting on what the show has meant to him.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, when asked what he can tease about the season two finale, Harrison first played coy, only joking: “I don’t tease, I deliver.”
Still, he later opened up about how the reaction to Shrinking, particularly from people that approach him about it, has especially touched him.
“It has been a really remarkable experience for me to have the people who see this work come up to me on the street and say, ‘Hey I just want to tell you, my whole family loves Shrinking,'” he shared.
“And then they don’t want anything else, they don’t want a picture, they don’t want [anything],” he then noted, explaining: “They want me or somebody else to know that they are sharing something of value.”

I just wanted to tell you, we love that show. We watch it with my family, and we love it’ and then they turn around and go away. No picture, nothing.”
