Joined by fellow Star Wars star Riz Ahmed, and comic actors Glen Powell, Owen Wilson, Zach Braff, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Harrison Ford looks at fortune, glory and all the other Temple of Doom things on The Hollywood Reporter Comedy Actors Roundtable, a boisterous and enlightening chat you can watch above.
These days, people come up to Harrison Ford and don’t want anything from him. “They don’t want a picture, they don’t want an autograph, they just want to tell me that they like the show, and then they walk away,” says the Shrinking star. At 83, he’s tickled by it. “I think it’s because I’m in their living room now, and I’m much more familiar. It’s a testament to what television does.”
The reflection comes early in a boisterous hour-plus with the sextet — Glen Powell (Chad Powers), Owen Wilson (Stick), Zach Braff (Scrubs), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Wonder Man) and Riz Ahmed (Bait) — gathered at The Georgian Hotel for THR‘s annual Comedy Actor Emmy Roundtable. Over a few Bloody Marys, the men swap stories and advice about navigating fame, fandom and their own insecurities.
What’s the wildest thing a fan has come up to you and said?
HARRISON FORD “My mother wants to sleep with you” — loudly announced in an airport.
GLEN POWELL I didn’t mean it, by the way. It was the first time I was meeting you …
FORD I know. And your mom didn’t mean it, either. (Laughter.)
