Harrison Ford, 80, took Cannes by storm while accepting his lifetime achievement award, by saying, “I don’t want to be young again… I was young, and now I enjoy being old.”
He went on, saying, “You are certainly physically diminished by age but there are wonderful things about age – the richness of experience, the full weight of all the time you’ve been spending getting to being old – and there’s a certain ease in it for me.”
After accepting his award, an unusually emotional Ford said, “There was very generous applause from the crowd [and] it was positive and humbling and nice. I am very gratified that I still have the opportunities that I have to work, and I owe that to the audience.”
