Harrison Ford Gets Honest About Retirement (Exclusive)

Harrison Ford has been acting since the 1960s. Does the 82-year-old have any plans to retire?

“Extra’s” Melvin Robert spoke with Ford at the “1923” Season 2 premiere in Los Angeles, where he discussed the possibility of slowing down.

Harrison admitted, “Haven’t thought about it.”

As for what keeps him working, Ford answered, “Good writing.” Referencing "1923" and his recent role as President Thaddeus Ross/Red Hulk in "Captain America: Brave New World," he said, "I just stumbled into a kind of vein of it, and that's why I'm so ubiquitous right now."

Harrison also praised “Yellowstone” universe mastermind Taylor Sheridan, raving, "His writing is exceptional. He's an incredible storyteller. Nothing like that that I’ve ever seen.”

In the second season of the show, the stakes are raised as the Duttons have to defend their Montana ranch. The show has him starring opposite Helen Mirren, who plays his wife.

Harrison called it “a dream” to work with Helen. He said, “We’re old friends. She’s [an] absolutely extraordinary actress and wonderful person to be with and hang out with. I really adore her." He continued, "She's a lot of fun, and she's extraordinarily talented and one of the nicest people I've ever met."

Melvin also chatted with Harrison’s co-star Michelle Randolph, who opened up about working with Helen.

She said, “I just enjoy watching her work; it’s a master class. She’s given me a lot of advice… What I’ve witnessed is that she genuinely loves what she does. She has nothing to prove, and she cares so much about every project, every scene.”

The biggest lesson for Michelle from observing Helen was “giving 150% and being present on set every day.”

Brandon Sklenar recalled his own “cool” experience with Helen at "cowboy camp" with the cast. He told Mel, “I saw Helen learn how to ride the wagon.”

He said of the learning and bonding time, "It's also just a great thing to get the cast together and everyone's kinda on the same level. You're out there sweating in the sun and riding horses, and it's beautiful. You're in Montana. It's the best."

Brandon also gushed that his "1923" character Spencer Dutton is "just the coolest."

He noted, "The little kid in me — I get to be a cowboy, I get to be a solider, I get to be a big game hunter, I get to travel the world. There's no characters like that. It's such a blessing."
