The wording in Chris Wallace's show is great. Who's Talking To Chris Wallace? It can be read in many ways, but mine is "Is anyone talking to him?" I thought that after his woefully poor moderating the first presidential discussion in 2020 (he will be 76 years old this year), he would be encouraged to retire. He has his own show instead, and this weekend, he was able to host Harrison Ford, who is on the promotional tour for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny which opens in theaters next Friday. Ford, who will be 81 by the end of the month, was questioned about his retirement.

Harrison Ford isn't quite ready to retire.

Ford, 80, told Chris Wallace on Who's Talking with Chris Wallace? that he doesn't perform well without work. When asked if he has thought about retirement, Ford replied, "I do not."

I love working. I love feeling useful. Ford, who will turn 81 in a month, stated during an interview that it was his "jones". "I'm trying to help."

When Wallace asked him what he loved about making movies, he replied: "I love the people I get to work alongside." The intensity and intimacy of collaboration. It's the shared ambition that is somehow created from words on a sheet of paper. I don't have a plan for what I'm going to do, and I'm not obligated to do anything. "But I'm, I suppose, naturally affected by what I work on."

Wallace also asked Ford what he meant when he said he wanted the movie to be ambitious in his final role as Indiana Jones. Ford said that he wanted to confront the age issue directly, not hide his age but use it to tell the story.

He added: "I'm sure it will [pull it out]," before adding, "It is time for me grow up," in his departure from the action-adventure series.

"Six years back, I thought we should try to make another one. And I wanted it about age, because I believe that it rounds out the story we've already told and that we have brought it to the correct place," he stated. He also said that 2008's Kingdom of the Crystal Skull didn't end with the "real strong feeling of the ending or the closure I always hoped to achieve."

Ford said he wanted to make the film "a serious thing" that addressed age issues.

Ford, who has been filming for the next Captain America film in recent weeks, spoke with PEOPLE and said that he had not lost his love of the film industry.

He said, "I enjoy making films more than ever before." "I do not want to be younger again. "I was young and now I am enjoying being old."

The entire episode can be viewed online and is thirty minutes in length (although, I would wager that it is closer to 20 minutes if the film clips are removed). Wallace asks Ford a question that is a winner: "Why have people wanted to watch you in the darkness for the past fifty years?" This may be one of the best questions ever asked in journalism. It's a glorious moment, only matched when Wallace asks Ford about his retirement, and Ford gives him a look essentially saying, "I'm disappointed in you, not mad."

It's true that I have never seen Harrison Ford express such a wide range of emotions within such a short period of time. He has moments of joy, such as when he says that Christopher Walken almost played Han Solo, and nearly yells, "Which would've been FANTASTIC!". And moments where he is weepy because he remembers colleagues and mentors he lost. It's clear that the people he works with are what bring him fulfillment and joy in his career. This is why he won't stop. Why would he stop? He gives credit to the writers as well for his continued work. What about this final episode of Indiana Jones dealing with age? When I hear this, I can't help but think of the SNL version. Like he is now using the whip to get out of bed. The lost artifacts that he is hunting for are his medications. The label on this prescription shows that it was filled in the early Walgreens era, before the DuaneReade takeover. Please have someone at SNL create that skit. Once the writers' conditions are met and after the strike, it is possible.
