Fun Fact: Harrison Ford's Oldest Kid Is Pushing 60

Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford has cemented his place in Hollywood history thanks to iconic roles in film franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones. But when he's not impressing audiences by saving the galaxy or unearthing ancient relics on the big screen, he's busy playing hero to his own family.

Ford first became a dad back in the 1960s, before his acting career had even begun. The now 81-year-old star has said that having children at different stages of his life has had its advantages, namely that it's allowed him to improve over time. As Ford told The Independent in 2010, "My older children have taught me a lot. My first child was born when I was 25; I reckon I'm a little better at [parenting] now."
