Harrison Ford at 83: 'Old People Can Love Too' - Secrets of His Happy Marriage
Harrison Ford: Love is Ageless!
In a shocking revelation, Hollywood's most iconic leading man, Harrison Ford, has confessed that he still gets butterflies when it comes to love - even in his 80s! The veteran actor, who has been married three times before, has opened up about the secret to his whirlwind romance with his current wife, Calista Flockhart.
Speaking on NPR's Wild Card with Rachel Martin, Harrison dished out all the juicy details of their relationship, leaving fans wondering if love truly knows no age boundaries. "Old people can love, too," he declared, dispelling the notion that romance is reserved for the young and free-spirited. "You think it's the business of youth or something, you know, and staying in love is the issue."
But what's behind Harrison's commitment to his 60-year-old wife? The actor credits their successful union to "maintaining, nurturing, basically, not f*ing up." Talk about straightforward! When pressed for more details, he chuckled and said, "I was married for the first time at 23 years of age, which should be illegal." Ouch!
The Indiana Jones star has had his fair share of high-profile relationships over the years. His marriage to Mary Marquardt between 1964 and 1979 was marked by controversy when his Star Wars co-star Carrie Fisher revealed she had a fling with Harrison during that time. The actor later wed Melissa Mathison from 1983 until 2004, but he's publicly stated that he'll always regret walking down the aisle so young.
Harrison met Calista in 2002 and it was love at first sight! Speaking to Hello! magazine a year later, he gushed about his new romance: "I'm in love. Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love, and I think there's a potential for it at any stage of your life." Talk about optimism!
At the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, where Harrison was promoting Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, he paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife, saying: "They say when you're about to die you see your life flash before your eyes. And I just saw my life flash before my eyes. A great part of my life but not all of my life. My life has been enabled by my lovely wife, who has supported my passions and dreams."
But what's the real secret behind their enduring relationship? According to Harrison, Calista is the key to his happiness: "She's given my life purpose and meaning, and I'm grateful." Aw!
Fans are still reeling from this revelation - can it really be that love knows no age boundaries? One thing's for sure, Harrison Ford has proven that romance isn't just for the young at heart. The question on everyone's mind now: what's next for these two lovesick legends?
