Harrison Ford can’t help himself when he’s hungry.
During the SAG Awards 2025 opening, the acclaimed 82-year-old actor surprised his castmate Jessica Williams by eating a potato chip as she was delivering her “I am an actor” speech for their show “Shrinking”.
“Los Angeles is known as the city of dreams — and sure enough all my dreams have come true here,” Williams said at the start of her speech.
But while Williams spoke to the camera, Ford was sitting next to her eating a potato chip — which distracted the actress.
Williams stumbled over her words, started laughing, and yelled, “I told him to turn away!”
Ford then turned around and faced toward the table as he continued eating the chip.
“Don’t look!” Williams yelled.
Despite the unexpected interruption, Jessica Williams carried on with her speech and shared anecdotes of her acting journey, like getting ready in a Starbucks restroom before auditions or crying in a Del Taco restroom after them. She humorously mentioned changing outfits in areas with trees for cover but not too upscale to avoid encounters with the authorities.
When she finished her speech, Williams turned back at Ford and jokingly hit his chest as the pair laughed.
Williams and Ford co-star in “Shrinking” on Apple TV+ alongside Jason Segel, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie and Christa Miller.
At the upcoming SAG Awards, the entire cast of the show is up for the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series category, with the actor Ford also scoring an individual nod for his Outstanding Performance as a Male Actor in a Comedy Series.
The “Star Wars” icon showed up to the star-studded event in Los Angeles without his longtime wife, Calista Flockhart.
“My wife is in New York doing a play,” he revealed in an interview with People/Entertainment Weekly on the red carpet.
But Ford, who was dressed in a classy tuxedo, noted that he brought his agent with him to the event at the Shrine Auditorium.
During a previous interview with GQ, Ford explained why he wanted to star in “Shrinking,” in which he plays a character with Parkinson’s disease.
“The success of the writing,” he said in October. “It seems a difficult thing to do, but it was done with grace and charm, and I thought it was successful when I read the script that was given to me by Brett Goldstein.”
“And it was something that I immediately was attracted to because of its success in both the areas of drama and comedy,” he added. “It was an unusual character for me to play, I thought.”
