With a lump in his throat, Ford praised the work of his on-screen colleague Phoebe Waller-Bridge. He told fans: “Thank you for making these films such an incredible experience for all of us.
“I’m very proud to say to say that this one is fantastic. [He pointed at Waller-Bridge]. And this is one of the reasons.”

Co-star Waller-Bridge also seems excited for Indiana Jones 5, saying she feels incredibly lucky to be a part of it.
She said: “I had the time of my life making this movie. I feel so incredibly lucky and keeping up with this guy [points at Ford] is exhausting.”

Harrison Ford was 65 years old when that film was released - the actor is now 80, so it seems no age barrier can stop him.
