Harrison Ford reveals his dislike of movie stars

Since the actor came to Hollywood by chance, it makes sense to discover that the newfound lifestyle has become challenging, leading Ford to realize the unfortunate “dark side” of fame. When he became Han Solo in 1977, Ford subsequently remarried three times before his final starring role in ” Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, telling previously The Guardian“Sometimes I think I was a better actor than my husband or father. I had to leave my family behind to earn money for food.”

Although it may seem that confidence is a prerequisite for becoming an actor, this wasn't always the case for Ford. “I wasn’t very outgoing,” Ford says of his school days. “One of the things I found in acting was that I could do something with people because I didn't like competitive sports,” he adds, pointing out that putting on a mask provides greater relief in pressure situations.

“I could scare people to death, but my own knees were knocking,” he added.

Since he's clearly not afraid to be vulnerable, this bravery should be recognized on the Walk of Fame, which is a credit to Ford's role as a cowboy and imperial pilot. Unfortunately, in Hollywood, honesty is not an attribute that correlates with the profits that can be made from blockbuster fiction and method acting.

When asked if he believed in the idea of ​​doing something you're afraid of in the face of self-improvement, Ford replied, “I don't identify with those things.” Again, it's a lesson straight from the Mouth of a screen hero should be passed on to the younger generation: The actor proves that his true idiotic role in the industry comes when pushing boundaries is romanticized as a mere symptom of fame.

Ford expresses firmly, “I’m no longer interested in being afraid. When you're afraid, you close yourself down and it's about opening up.” And in his honesty, he uses the struggle to continue doing what he loves, while navigating the toxic qualities of an industry that is so on is built on perfect role models. Just like Han Solo once said, “That’s not how the Force works.”
