“It means the world to me.” The actor went on to say that the franchise is “peopled with some of the most amazing actors and characters and the stories are so compelling and they mix adventure and humor and heart,” and that he admires “the depth and the subtlety of the emotion, and the importance of emotion in these films.” “As this one concerns age and frailty and changing nature of life, it was especially compelling to me because I am of that age and I wanted it to feel real for the audience,” Ford said of Dial of Destiny. “I wanted them to see the complexity of that experience with someone they spent 40 years with.” 

Indiana Jones icon Harrison Ford fought back tears and became visibly emotional while accepting a major career award Thursday at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

I’m very moved by this.

He continued, “My life has been enabled by my lovely wife [Calista Flockhart], who has supported my passions and my dreams. I’m grateful. Thank you. And, you know, I love you, [the audience], too. Thank you.
