    Harrison Ford has one condition for working with his wife

    The 83-year-old actor and his 60-year-old actress wife have never shared the screen together and although Harrison is open to the idea, he wants it to be "someone else's idea"


    He explained to Variety: "If we get to work together, we'd want it to be someone else's idea. That kind of casting might not be the best way to bring people into an imagined situation, because [audiences] may say, 'Oh, I know they're married; now I'm not even thinking about the movie anymore.'"

    Harrison also insisted he has no plans to retire, because "that's one of the things I thought was attractive about the job of an actor, was that they need old people, too, to play old people's parts".

    Harrison has recently been nominated for an Emmy for his role as Dr. Paul Rhoades, a senior therapist with Parkinson's disease, in Shrinking.

    Michael J. Fox, 64 - who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991 at the age of 29 - has joined the cast for the show's upcoming third season and Harrison says he has been "essential" in helping him to accurately portray his character's journey with the illness.

    He said: "It's been essential. Michael's courage, his fortitude and his grace, more than anything else, is on full display. He's very smart, very brave, noble, generous, passionate guy, and an example to all of us, whether we're facing Parkinson's or not. You cannot help but see how amazing it is to have such grace.

    "So, he gives me both a physical representation of the disease to inform myself with, but more than that, he allows me to believe that Paul could believe that he could be adequate to the challenge. The truth is that we can't be f****** around with this just to make a joke or anything. Parkinson's is not funny. And I want to get it right. It's necessary to be correct with what we do in respect of the challenge that Parkinson's represents, and that we don't use it for its entertainment value."
