Harrison Ford says he's 'recovering from various injuries' and does physical therapy to stay active: 'I'm trying to get back'
- Harrison Ford shared how he stays in shape during an interview with People.
- Ford, 80, said he's recovering from "various injuries" but strives to be active.
Harrison Ford said he is "recovering from various injuries," so he does physical therapy and rehabilitation to stay in shape.
During an interview with People, the 80-year-old shared how he stays active in his day-to-day life. Ford is one of Hollywood's biggest action stars, having starred in a number of box-office hits like "Air Force One" and the "Star Wars" franchise. He also plays the beloved Indiana Jones and will reprise the character in his upcoming film, "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."
"I don't do physical training. It's just all rehab, physical therapy," Ford said. "I'm really just like an old man."
He added: "I'm recovering from various injuries, so I continue to keep myself moving. I love tennis and riding road bikes over distance. I can't play tennis anymore because of my [injured] shoulders, but I'm working on getting back to being able to play. And I can't ride my bike yet."
Ford told the outlet he was "disadvantaged physically" and is "trying to get back."
According to Screen Rant, Ford's been involved in several accidents on and off set. Ford tore his ACL while filming "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and suffered a spinal injury from riding elephants while filming "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."
More recently, Deadline reported in June 2021 that Ford injured his shoulder while rehearsing a fight scene for "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."
The franchise's fifth installment will also star Karen Allen, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, and Antonio Banderas. Ford told fans in September 2022 that the upcoming film would be his last time playing Indiana Jones.
"Indiana Jones' movies are about mystery and adventure, but they're also about heart," he said at Disney's D23 Expo convention. "We have a really human story to tell as well, a movie that will kick your ass."
