Harrison Ford, 83, Refuses To Retire: ‘They Need Old People'
Harrison Ford shows no signs of stopping, even after acting in several hit movies like Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Blade Runner. In a recent talk, when the talented actor was asked if he ever plans to retire from acting, his answer was a clear no. Ford shared that one good thing about acting is that older actors are needed to play older roles. He also shared a fun story from the sets of Blade Runner 2049, where, during practice, he accidentally punched Ryan Gosling. Other than his past movies, Ford also mentioned his future with Marvel after playing the Red Hulk in Captain America: Brand New Day.
Speaking about his retirement with Variety, Ford said 'no," and added that 'That's one of the things I thought was attractive about the job of an actor, was that they need old people, too, to play old people's parts."
Funny Moment With Ryan Gosling:
Talking about the funny incident with Ryan Gosling on the sets of Blade Runner 2049, Harrison Ford shared, 'We were rehearsing a fight, and we got too close and I hit him. I apologised right away. What more could I do? Can't take back a punch. Just take it. He's a very handsome man. He's still very handsome."
Golden Time In Hollywood:
When Harrison Ford was asked about working with big directors like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, he described it as a very exciting time in Hollywood. He spoke about how, during the late 1970s and 1980s, a group of young and creative filmmakers entered the industry. They had strong ideas and wanted to tell stories in their own unique way. Ford felt lucky to be part of that period and to work with such talented people.
Marvel Role, Emmy Nomination:
Earlier this year, Ford played the role of President Thaddeus Ross in Captain America: Brave New World. His appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film grabbed attention, and many fans were hoping to see more of him in upcoming movies. But Ford shared that, so far, Marvel boss Kevin Feige hasn't fully convinced him to return to the MCU.
Most recently, Harrison Ford finished shooting Season 3 of Shrinking on Apple TV+. The show became popular, and it even earned Ford his very first Emmy nomination for his role.

Brad Pitt's Mom Jane Dies At 84; Family Says 'We Were Not Ready For You To Go Yet'
Jane Pitt, a retired school counselor, raised Brad and his siblings - Doug and Julie - in Springfield, Missouri, alongside their father. Brad Pitt is grieving the loss of his beloved mother, Jane Pitt, who passed away at the age of 84. Jane, a retired school counselor, raised Brad and his siblings – Doug and Julie – in Springfield, Missouri, alongside their father, William Pitt, a former trucking company owner. Though the family kept a low profile, Jane occasionally stepped into the public eye to support her Oscar-winning son, attending red carpets including the 2012 Oscars and the 2014 premiere of Unbroken, directed by then-daughter-in-law Angelina Jolie. On Wednesday, August 6, Brad's niece Sydney — Doug's daughter — shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. Calling Jane 'the biggest heart," she wrote, 'My sweet Grammy, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier." Sydney added, 'She could keep up with all 14 of us grandkids without missing a beat. There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it. I don't know how we move forward without her." Jane Pitt was not only a dedicated mother and grandmother but also a passionate supporter of children's health. In 2009, Brad and his siblings donated $1 million to open the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center in Missouri. The facility brought the region its first pediatric oncologist and hematologist, demonstrating the family's commitment to meaningful change. Even as recently as June 2025, Brad Pitt paid tribute to his mom during a press interview for his film F1. Speaking to Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, he smiled and said, 'I gotta say hi to my mom because she watches you every morning. To Jane Pitt. Love you, Mom," before blowing a kiss on camera. Jane's deep impact on her children's lives was evident in a 2018 video for WorldServe International. 'I'm very proud of all my children," she said. 'They see a need and try to step in and fill it… It's an amazing thing." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Anupam Kher breaks silence on Saiyaara dominating Tanvi The Great at box office: 'Agar paisa hi sab kuch hota...'
Comparisons and competition are unavoidable when two movies are released at roughly the same time. That's precisely what happened when Mohit Suri 's elegant romantic drama Saiyaara and Anupam Kher 's touching drama Tanvi The Great opened in theaters on the same day. Tanvi The Great failed to achieve the same level of commercial success as the latter, which dominated the box office with over Rs 500 crore and captured the hearts of the public with its music and youthful star cast. However, it isn't keeping Anupam Kher up at night. He believes that movies are about feelings rather than profits. When asked if he believes the Saiyaara craze is to blame for his film's poor performance, the veteran actor responded, "I don't believe that's true," in an interview with News18. 'A few years down the line, when someone will ask you what are your five favorite films are, you won't name the ones based on which of these movies made a business worth crores." The actor continued, "You'll name the ones which touched your hearts." 'Maybe Tanvi the Great didn't mint much money, but it is still priceless. I recently met a lady outside the theater who hugged me tightly and started crying, saying this was the best film she has ever watched," Kher added. Kher's remarks provided a much-needed break in a society that is fixated on numbers. 'You don't value everything based only on money. Agar paisa hi sab kuch hota, to phir log hamesha five-star hotel me hi khate na, dhaba koi kyu jata?" He revealed that he firmly supports his film in spite of the poor collections. 'My film is outstanding commercially," he stated. Tanvi The Great is subtly capturing hearts, while Saiyaara continues to rule the screen thanks to its box office power and Gen-Z appeal. Anupam Kher is the film's producer and director. He co-stars with Iain Glen. On July 18, 2025, Tanvi the Great was released in theaters.
