Harrison Ford is undoubtedly one of the most accomplished and distinguished superstars in the entertainment industry. Working on projects that are considered nothing short of phenomenal to be absolutely adaptable to any role he’s put into, he excels at anything. From playing the part of Hans Solo in Star Wars to playing the role of the greatest explorer by the name of Indiana Jones in the Indiana Jones franchise to now playing the part of Colonel Thaddeus Ross in the MCU in the upcoming Thunderbolts, his greatness truly knows no bounds.
But with all this success, comes fame, and fame does not always pay well when it comes to a successful individual.
In one instance, Harrison Ford was asked whether he liked the fame and attention that he was given by the fans, to which he replied that if he would have his way, he would not want to be famous at all.

But when all that fame is not something that you seek, it becomes a bother rather than something to be proud of. In Ford’s case, being famous is something that he doesn’t like because he thinks that all that fame brings are problems and nothing more. One time, he openly said that all his fame was something that he never enjoyed and that there is always a price that needs to be paid by the owner for all the fame they have accumulated.
“You always think, ‘If I’m successful, then I’ll have opportunities.’ You never figure the cost of fame will be a total loss of privacy. That’s incalculable. What a burden that is for anybody. It was unanticipated and I’ve never enjoyed it. You can get the table you want in a restaurant. It gets you doctor’s appointments. But what’s that worth? Nothing,”
What most people might not know is that Harrison Ford is not a very open person and that he likes his privacy, which is the reason why people might very rarely see him out in public where people might see him. With his level of fame, it becomes hard for him to spend time alone, away from prying eyes. For him, his privacy is a very important part of his life.
