Harrison Ford indulged in a rare public display of affection with his wife Calista Flockhart on the New York subway this week.
The millionaire couple joined throngs of ordinary New Yorkers to brave the congestion and crime in the city’s public transportation system.
Calista, 60, and Harrison, 82, refused to let the grime and grit get in the way of their romantic instincts, kissing passionately on the platform.
They then headed into their train, where Harrison sat down amongst regular commuters whilst waiting to arrive at his destination.
Showing how agile he still is despite his advanced age, he stood up during part of his journey, grasping a railing like any other member of the public.
He was dressed stylishly in a blue-grey shirt tucked into dark means, while Calista modeled a flowing grey sweater and loose-fitted trousers.

They were also spotted strolling side by side through the city together, with Calista wrapped in a navy anorak to ward off the lingering chill.
Calista evidently made sure to take advantage of New York’s culinary delights, carrying a shopping back from the seafood market Citarella.
Harrison also layered up at one stage, pulling a grey sweater on over his button-down shirt and warming himself up with a hot beverage.
He could be seen affectionately placing a protective arm around his wife as they navigated the streets of the city that never sleeps.
A fan managed to approach Harrison on the sidewalk, where the Star Wars legend graciously agreed to sign an autograph for him.
Last year, Calista – who is Harrison’s third wife – joked that he was ‘afraid’ of her, during an appearance on Live! With Kelly And Mark.
Shortly before, Harrison had been honored with a lifetime achievement gong at the Critics’ Choice Awards, where he praised his wife from the stage.
‘I want to thank my lovely wife, Calista Flockhart, who supports me when I need a lot of support – and I need a lot of support,’ he said.
Calista later expressed that the recognition was ‘a touching moment’ and she felt ‘extremely proud,’ considering her husband’s ‘remarkable body of work and highly deserving nature.’

They crossed paths at the 2002 Golden Globes, and within a year, they had moved in together, with Harrison publicly declaring his love for her in an interview with Hello! magazine.
‘Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love and I think there is a potential for it at any stage of your life,’ he said.
‘I was not surprised that I was able to fall in love, and I wasn’t surprised that I did,’ added the Indiana Jones icon, who was then 60.
Calista remarked then that their age gap ‘doesn’t faze me. Sometimes I even say: “Wow, I keep forgetting that he’s 22 years older than me.”‘
She insisted: ‘It doesn’t factor into our relationship at all. I like the way he looks first thing in the morning. It’s not handsome, it’s more cute. He looks like a little boy.’
Notably, Harrison and Calista have never worked together onscreen despite having been romantically involved with one another for over two decades.
‘That’s just the circumstantial reality where we haven’t been offered something where we’d work together,’ he told Us Weekly this February.
