Harrison Ford enjoyed a rare date night with wife Calista Flockhart at the 2026 Actor Awards.
“Extra’s” Terri Seymour caught up with the Hollywood legend who said a “good date is what makes a good date night.”
Terri called Flockhart gorgeous, as the actress stunned in a black one-shoulder gown with Leviev jewels. Harrison agreed, “She does, she always does."
It’s a big night for Ford who is receiving the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award.
The actor has starred in the “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” franchises among many other projects.
What was his favorite? He teased, “I think this interview is right up there.”
On a more serious note, he said, “Every project is different, they don’t compare. They are apples and oranges.”
Ford went on, “I don’t want to leave anybody out. Every job I've had has been a pleasure and the people I've worked with have been extraordinary."
He also opened up about working with Michael J. Fox on “Shrinking.”

View StoryHarrison said, “It’s a coup, he’s very generous. I’m thrilled that he’s joined us. He makes a very significant contribution to the show. It isn’t just a cameo, he’s playing a part and I’m just thrilled that he’s part of the show.”
In the show, Michael plays Gerry and Harrison plays Paul, both their characters are battling Parkinson’s disease, which Fox also has in real life.
Michael has praised Harrison’s performance in “Shrinking,” and Ford said, “It means a lot to me.”
Later, as Harrison accepted his lifetime achievement award, he told the audience, “I feel incredibly grateful for this kind of attention, but to be clear, I also am quite humbled. I’m in a room with actors, many of whom are here because they’ve been nominated to receive a prize for their amazing work, while I’m here to receive a prize for being alive. That said, it’s a little weird to be getting a Lifetime Achievement Award at the half-point of my career. It’s a little early, isn’t it? I’m still a working actor.”
He said of his career, “I was not an overnight success. I struggled for about 15 years, going from acting job to carpentry and back to acting till I finally got a part in a wildly successful film. None of this happened on my own, thank you, George Lucas, [and] thank you, Steven Spielberg. In my third year of college, I was a little lost. I was failing at school, I felt isolated and alone, and then I found a company of people putting on plays, storytellers. People I once thought were misfits and geeks turned out to be ‘my people.’ I found a calling, a life in storytelling, an identity in pretending to be other people. Work I do with other actors is one of the great joys of my life. My career is built on their work, as well as the work of writers, directors and every single cast member, every crew member I’ve ever been on a set with.”
Ford added, “Being able to deliver the work that we create together to an audience is an honor and a privilege, and because of that privilege, I’ve come to know myself. Ours is a tough business to get into, [and] in my case it’s been a tough business to get out of — thank God, ’cause I love what I do."
