We are used to seeing Harrison Ford on our screens on the most challenging adventures through the Indiana Jones series.
However, his recent appearance at Disney’s D23 Expo left some fans concerned rather than enchanted by his majestic moves.
Ford actor received an award honoring him in August for his legendary contributions to Lucasfilm, which is a subsidiary of Disney.
Acting as the archaeologist in Indiana Jones and Han Solo in Star Wars are two major roles which have helped establish his noteworthy career.

To commemorate this, Ford imprinted his hands into the cement, but the public appearance, although intended to be a celebration, sparked some concerning comments from fans.

When signing his name next to his hands, Harrison appears to be using his adjacent hand to hold up the other. Good Morning America posted the public event on Instagram with a sea of mixed response comments following.
One user typed: “He does not look well,” whilst another wrote: “Congrats to him, but it breaks my heart to see him so frail.”

However, the majority of comments focused on the legend's honorary moment. One user celebrated: “His smile has always been my fav,” as another wrote: “Loved how when Mickey touched him on the shoulder … instantly he smiled!!! The magical world Disney!”
At the August 11 event, when the legendary actor accepted his award, he thanked his fans for their support: “I love the life you’ve given me," he told the audience, per Variety.
“I love the people that I’ve had the opportunity to work with. Nobody does anything in this business for long. We work in collaboration, no matter what who we are and what we’re doing.”

Showing a sentimental side to him, he choked up as he said: “'The stories are for you, about you, about us. To be able to work in that area is a privilege.”
However, despite his age, it seems like his marriage is keeping him young as his wife of over 21 years shared that the secret to their long-lasting relationship includes lots of laughter and practical jokes they pull on each other.
It was in an interview with the New York Times that Calista Flockhart revealed she labeled herself as the ‘Scare Monster’ at home 'because I hide behind every corner,' she explained. "And so Harrison will walk in, and then I'll go, 'Raaah!' And he'll go, 'W-uy-aah!' And then I die laughing."
So regardless of his age, it seems Harrison has a youthful spirit.
