Harrison Ford loathes his celebrity status - because Hollywood has cost him his "privacy". The 67 year old has enjoyed a career spanning more than 40 years, and starred in blockbusters including the Indiana Jones franchise and Star Wars.

However Ford, who is engaged to Calista Flockhart, hates being unable to escape the attention of the press and fans.

He says, "There's nothing good about being famous. 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."

Nevertheless, Ford admits there are some benefits to finding fame in the movie industry: "I'm in it for the money. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. This is my job."

I feel really sorry for him. :lol:

I can kind of see his point, although I shouldn't feel anything less than sorry for him either. If this were coming from someone who's career was kind of lagging and who doesn't have the status that Harrison Ford has, I would feel sorry for them. I would hate to have my privacy taken away and be followed all the time. It would be nice to be in the spotlight, but eventually someone will find a way to find out what you are doing at every moment.

Well you have to admire Harrison Ford for at least being honest.

I'm sure a lot of celebrities feel the same way, they just don't want to come out and say it.

as horrible an excuse as that is, i too have to applaud him for being honest.

although harrison ford hasn't had a hit blockbuster movie since, well, the fugitive in the early 90s.

Did Harrison get rid of that stupid earring yet?

That sounds exactly like something that Han Solo would have said (at least around the time of "Star Wars IV: A New Hope"). :lol:
