UPDATE: In an eye-opening interview, Harrison Ford reflects on love and relationships, declaring that “old people can love too.” The 83-year-old actor shared his insights during an appearance on NPR’s “Wild Card with Rachel Martin” on August 21, 2023, emphasizing that love knows no age.
Ford, who is currently starring in the hit series “Shrinking,” discussed the realities of marriage, stating, “staying in love is the issue. Maintaining, nurturing, basically, not f—— up.” He acknowledged the continuous effort required for a successful relationship, humorously adding he sometimes needs “some days off for bad behavior.”
The actor met his wife, actress Calista Flockhart, at the Golden Globe Awards in 2002, marrying her in June 2010 when he was 67 years old. When asked about the length of their marriage, Ford quipped, “If you ask me, I would say all my life.” He also humorously criticized his first marriage at 23, calling it something that “should be illegal.”
Ford’s remarks resonate with many, as he candidly expressed his belief in romantic love at any stage of life. “Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love,” he stated in a past interview, highlighting the joy he finds in love.
His journey through marriage includes two previous unions. Ford was married to Mary Marquardt from 1964 to 1979 and later to screenwriter Melissa Mathison until 2004. Ford’s optimism shines through; as he told Fox News Digital, remarrying exemplifies his belief in love’s enduring power.
The couple shares a family life that includes Flockhart’s son, Liam, whom Ford adopted after their marriage. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to be part of a child’s growing up,” Ford remarked, emphasizing the joy of nurturing a young life.
Ford’s recent recognition includes an Emmy nomination for his role in “Shrinking,” which he describes as his best job yet. “I live half an hour away. I go home and I sleep in my own bed,” he expressed, highlighting his preference for working close to home.
Reflecting on his career, Ford shared, “What I really love is being able to work where I live, not have to go away from home and my family.” His dedication to family and home life is evident, making his insights on love and aging even more poignant.
Ford’s heartfelt comments are a reminder that love transcends age, offering hope and encouragement to many. As his journey continues, fans can look forward to more from this iconic actor who believes in the power of love, regardless of age.
