Calista Flockhart Applauds Harrison Ford As Father, Says He's Good Dad In Lot Of Ways

American actor Harrison Ford, in a 2023 interview, opened up about the significant influence his thriving Hollywood career has had on his role as a father. Ford candidly admitted to certain missteps in his approach to parenting, acknowledging that his level of success may have hindered his ability to be a more effective parent.

Reflecting on his experiences, Ford, who's now 81, expressed a sentiment of introspection, acknowledging that had his career been less illustrious, his parenting might have been more enriched. But despite what he said in the interview, his wife, Calista Flockhart, believes he's actually a pretty solid dad after all these years of experience being one.

I think he was a really good father in a lot of ways, and maybe because he was on Round 2 or Round 3, so he had matured and grown up and, I think, evolved into being a good father. He’s such a good father to his kids now. I love his kids, my stepkids.

Fifty-nine-year-old Flockhart shares in an interview while talking about their son Liam, who's now 23.

At the 2002 Golden Globes, when Harrison Ford and Flockhart first crossed paths, he was in the middle of dealing with a divorce. The Ally McBeal star, on the other hand, had just adopted Liam.

Ford mentioned that meeting Flockhart, who was a new mom at the time, didn't scare him off.

When I met Liam, he was just beginning to walk, and it just didn’t matter to me. I had four children already, and I can’t count that well, so it didn’t make that much difference.
