At age 80, Harrison Ford’s career is still thriving, proving that acting is not just a young man’s game. The fact that Ford is still a working actor is all the more impressive, considering the number of injuries he’s suffered throughout his long career.
According to Newsweek, Ford bruised his ribcage and tore his ACL while performing his own stunts for 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” He also got hurt while making 1984’s “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” suffering from a herniated disk. Fans of 1993’s “The Fugitive” will have noticed that Ford’s character ran with a limp because the actor had torn ligaments while filming. However, he opted not to have surgery until the movie was finished, hence Richard Kimble’s limping.
In 2014 Harrison Ford broke his leg while filming “Star Wars: Episode VII.” The actor recounted the injury in during an interview with Jimmy Fallon, explaining, “They closed the f**king door on me.” He went on to jokingly (at least, we think jokingly) blame director JJ Abrams for the injury, using a Han Solo action figure to demonstrate what happened. But the incident was no laughing matter, of course. Surgery was required, and the production firm behind the film was fined $2 million for violating health and safety codes (via The Guardian).
In 2021, the actor, who was 78 years old at the time, sustained an injury to his shoulder while rehearsing a fight scene for “Indiana Jones 5,” according to Deadline. Filming continued while Ford took a brief hiatus, and the actor bounced back once again.
