  • Veteran actor Harrison Ford has been promoting his upcoming Marvel film – Captain America: Brave New World – in which he plays the Red Hulk … no mean feat for an 82-year-old with 5 children
  • His grown-up offspring have all gone in different directions with their careers, with the youngest – his 23-year-old adopted son with Calista Flockhart – graduating last year

Harrison Ford may have turned the grand old age of 82 last month, but he’s showing no signs of slowing down. His latest project? Marvel’s 2025 film Captain America: Brave New World, in which he plays Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross – aka Red Hulk.

In fact, it seems that the veteran actor has never really felt his age – thanks in part to his kids.

In an interview with The Independent in 2010 when asked if he felt like an old dad at 67, he replied: “Yeah, obviously I’m getting older, but I don’t relate to it very much. It doesn’t interest me as something to dwell on. I have a nine-year-old kid at home. I feel like the father of a nine-year-old kid.”

 

That “nine-year-old kid” is now a 23-year-old adult – and has four older siblings. So just who are Harrison Ford’s children, Ben, Willard, Malcolm, Georgia and Liam? Here’s what you need to know about them.

1. Ben Ford, 57

Ben is Harrison Ford’s eldest son and was born long before the actor made it big. Back in 1966 when he came into the world, his father was still 10 years away from scoring the part of Han Solo in Star Wars and married to his first wife, illustrator Mary Marquardt. Now 57, Ben is an accomplished chef and restaurateur who opened “LA’s first gastropub” in 2006, per the LA Times.

“My dad … taught me resilience as a young father and later helped give me the courage to pursue my dreams,” Ben wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in 2019. Similarly, on Instagram, Ben thanked Marquardt for her “unconditional love and sharp wit”.

2. Willard Ford, 55
