Harrison Ford Has ‘Given Up’ ‘Doing More Crazy Action Roles’ Much to the ‘Relief’ of Calista Flockhart

Harrison Ford has put his body through the wringer over the course of his career, but a source says he’s finally taking far fewer risks with his body, much to the relief of wife Calista Flockhart.

“The whole Shrinking experience has been a breakthrough for Harrison and Calista because it reminded both of them what a warm and watchable performer [he] can be just sitting in a chair and letting a scene play out opposite another actor,” the source says of Ford’s hit Apple TV series, in which he plays a therapist grappling with his Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis.

Being “realistic about what he can and can’t do in a given role” hasn’t hurt the 84-year-old’s career either, adds the source.

“What’s beautiful about this is that Harrison actually got his second Emmy nomination this year for Shrinking after most of his super-famous movie roles of his career were totally ignored by the award-giving bodies,” the source explains. “He doesn’t need a plane exploding in the background or a CGI bridge collapsing beneath his feet to move people.”

That Ford has “basically given up on doing more crazy action roles” comes as a “giant relief” to Flockhart, 61, adds the source. “Across Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Marvel movies, she knows he’s got nothing left to prove. He’s done it all.”

Ford has truly enjoyed his time on Shrinking, too.

“I love working with you guys. I hope we can all get back here and do it again,” he told the cast and crew after they finished filming season 3, per a video posted to Apple TV’s Instagram page.

And the beloved actor meant it.

“They almost decided to end Shrinking after this most recent season and Harrison was one of the voices who really spoke up and told Apple and the producers he’d like to do more episodes,” reveals the source. “That made a huge difference.”

On Tuesday, Jan. 27, Apple TV announced the comedy drama has been renewed for season 4.
