'Haven't found one yet': Harrison Ford in search of perfect movie to star with wife Calista Flockhart
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Harrison Ford is in search of a perfect movie to star in with his beloved wife Calista Flockhart. In an interview with People during the Shrinking premiere on Friday, January 26, Ford admitted that working with Calista is still on his "list" of things to do before retiring. "We'd love to find one we could do together," said the Hollywood mogul. "But yeah, haven't found one yet," he added. Calista left the spotlight for 20 years to raise their son.
The 'Ally McBeal' actress has lately begun acting once more after taking some time off to focus on their 22-year-old son Liam Flockhart, “She’s just going back to work after having devoted herself to the raising of our son, Liam, for the last 20 years,” he told People. “She’s enjoying going back to work. I’m hoping we will find something to do together, he added.” The two stars, who tied the knot in 2010, first crossed paths at the Golden Globe Awards nearly a decade earlier.

According to People, Flockhart became a single mother in 2001 when she adopted Liam, her only son. The following year, the actress and Ford began dating. The 'Blade Runner' actor has four children from his earlier relationships.
Along with his role in Shrinking, Ford has been extremely busy lately. He has upcoming roles in 'Indiana Jones,' 'Dial of Destiny', 'Captain America: New World Order', 'Thunderbolts', and his first leading television role in 1923, an upcoming prequel spin-off to 'Yellowstone'. In an interview with The New York Times in December, the Oscar nominee revealed his love for "the challenge" of producing film and television at the age of 80.
"I've been working pretty much back-to-back, which is not what I normally do," he said. "I don't know how it happened. But it happened." Additionally, the legendary Star Wars actor has no plans to leave the industry anytime soon. "I love it. I love the challenge and the process of making a movie. I feel at home. It's what I've spent my life doing," he said. "I don't want to reinvent myself," Ford added. "I just want to work," he added.
Bill Lawrence, the co-creator of the Apple TV+ comedy 'Shrinking' gushed about the star. "He’s lovely, he’s inspiring. He’s 80 years old and still challenging himself," Lawrence told The Associated Press of Ford at the premiere. Although the series creator said he wasn't sure Ford would be interested in the idea, he was gobsmacked when he accepted the role. Lawrence did acknowledge, though, that having the venerable actor on the set had one drawback. "Everybody’s terrified of … telling him to do anything," Lawrence said with a laugh. "But he’s so much fun to work with. Every scene gets ruined — at least one take — by me or one of the actors in the middle of it going ‘It’s Harrison Ford!’ It’s crazy."
Harrison Ford stars as a therapist Dr. Phil Rhodes in the new comedy series. The other prominent actors in the series are Jason Segel, Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, Michael Urie, Luke Tennie, and Lukita Maxwell. 'Shrinking's first two episodes are available now to stream on Apple TV+.
