The One Show: Harrison Ford shares poignant reason he wanted to show Indiana Jones as an old man
Harrison Ford has shared the emotional reason he wanted to portray Indiana Jones as an old man in his new film. Appearing alongside co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge on The One Show, the Hollywood star opened up about filming the last-ever Indiana Jones film.
Ford is now 80 years old and first played Indiana Jones 40 years ago. His long career and the success of the films led to one viewer writing in to ask him how it feels to be "hanging up his hat" as the famous archaeologist.After taking a moment to think, Ford said: "It feels good. Job is done. Story is told.
"I think because these are family films, I wanted to tell the truth about growing old and see it in a family situation so that young people could see the progress of someone that they know and have that emotional feeling that, I am hoping, we all feel with a story that completes itself.
