Ford laughs off retirement talk

Harrison Ford (The Fugitive, Patriot Games) has laughed off rumours he is set to call time on his film career and has vowed to continue acting for as long as he feels able.

The 63-year-old screen icon is currently involved in three films at various stages of production and just recently completed filming for Richard Loncraine's thriller Firewall.

But while reports have suggested Ford's heavy schedule has led him to question his desire to remain in the game, the Indiana Jones and Star Wars legend insists he is loving it more than ever and has no intention of quitting just yet.

"The notion of retirement is that you have outlived your usefulness," he said. "But I'm still working. I'm not sitting on the front porch."

Ford has nearly 60 film credits to his name and is now assisting famed director Steven Spielberg in pre-production for filming of the eagerly-awaited fourth instalment of action classic Indiana Jones.

He is also due to feature in Sebastian Cordero's drama Manhunt and the war drama Battle for Fallujah, both set for release next year.
