Past it?

That makes him 3 years older than DH, I'm surprised. We used to have a friend, sadly no longer with us, who had the same brand of attraction. Irresistible!

I wouldn’t kick him out - INDIE!!!

I honestly think we need to see the film before we can tell, whether he is past it or not.

Remember how surprised we were when Sean Conery annonced that The League of Extradordinary Gentlemen was his last film?

Most of us thought then he could have managed a couple more.

I think it depends on the genre of the film. Anthony Hopkins in "The Father" has just been released and he is fantastic opposite Olivia Coleman. It is maybe because we associate him with this action hero role rather than other roles so are worried that he will not be able to pull off the character. I still think that Joe Biden looks old and often a bit bewildered by what is going on around him.

No-one should have to stop anything just because of their age.
If HF is fit and still enjoying making films, then good luck to him.

Just don’t let him fly a plane!!

I have no kdea abkut his acting ability. But from pkctures I saw of in in his cycling gear he has kept in good shape and to me his facial looks are better now than when he was young!!

Michael Douglas is still acting and he is in his 70s. Will pass judgement on Mr Ford when the film is out.

Douglas should have won an Oscar for his role in Behind the Candelabra

He doesn’t look past it to me. And Anthony Hopkins is 80+ and getting rave reviews and an Oscar for The Father.

Michael Douglas is still acting and he is in his 70s. Will pass judgement on Mr Ford when the film is out.

As long as hes fit and able to fill the role why not, good luck to him. I'd rather look at Richard Gere though, now that's my "older man"

He cycles every day as part of his fitness regime.

He obviously isn’t past it yet.

Shortlegs so sad and so true. Good on him!

Last night on TV I watched Airforce One, in which he played the President of the US. He was a good looking man then in that old film.
Don't know what he looks like now, but I bet he looks better than Clint Eastwood who is a wrinkled old prune.

On the Quay side- Past it?

past what ? past time/past life? or generally too old?

I wouldn’t push him out of my bedroom…

He's 78. He should be hidden away in a nursing home somewhere, tended by staff that regularly patronise him and moan about him never joining in the bingo or the sing songs. (Sarcasm btw).

I loved HF so much but agree in order to make it realistic he should let a younger chap take over and if not definitely an older leading lady.
Giving them younger models just exacerbates middle aged men’s fantasies.

Oh for goodness sake....words fail me.... Damn judgemental because of someone's age!

just wondering if us ageing people here are more "ageist" than anyone?

I like Harrison Ford..

Cary Grant looked great in old age, but he was the exception to the rule.

I think it's fine to have an older actor in an action movie, as long as they don't pair him up with a love interest 30 years his junior.

Liam Neeson, Denzel Washington, Bruce Willis are all over 60 and still making action movies. Also Sigourney Weaver.

I'm full of admiration if he's still doing his own stunts at 78.

After two hours gardening I'm looking for the Voltarol gel, Newatthis and Mollyg!

He's been pictured a lot on social media in the NE in cycling gear and in jeans and t-shirt on the Quayside. He looks incredible for his age and obviously works out. He's still got it.
