About this listen
Harrison Ford is making headlines this week after unleashing some of his most direct and scathing public criticism of President Donald Trump to date. The veteran actor, best known for iconic roles such as Han Solo and Indiana Jones, sat down with The Guardian and didn’t mince words about his assessment of Trump’s stance on climate change and the policies—or lack thereof—coming from the White House. Ford called Trump “the greatest criminal in history,” stating bluntly that Trump’s “ignorance, hubris, lies, and perfidy” scare him and describing the former and current president as an “instrument of the status quo” whose actions are driving the world “to hell in a hand basket.” According to the interview, Ford believes Trump isn’t losing ground because of policy, but because “everything he says is a lie.” Several outlets including AOL, Diario AS, and Unilad quickly picked up his remarks, with headlines mirroring Ford’s direct language, noting the actor “doesn't hold back” and his comments “slam” the Trump administration and its environmental record.
These statements came during a week where Ford was honored for his conservation work at Chicago’s Field Museum, using the occasion both to recount formative experiences in nature and to advocate for renewed action on climate change. Ford’s appearance at the museum and his environmental advocacy received additional coverage across social and traditional media, amplifying his message. This isn’t the first time Ford has publicly challenged Trump—he previously supported both Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’ campaigns, narrated Lincoln Project ads, and regularly makes environmental appeals at global events like the United Nations Climate Action Summit.
Social media reaction has been polarized as usual for Ford’s political stances, with criticism from conservative commentators who have accused him of hypocrisy due to his private jet use, as noted by OutKick, while progressive fans and climate activists praised his commitment to environmental causes and blunt honesty. Ford’s Twitter mentions spiked with hashtags like #HarrisonFord, #ClimateAction, and #NoGreaterCriminal trending briefly in response to coverage of his Chicago appearance and viral interview excerpts.
On the industry side, Ford’s recent Variety interview was revisited by fans this week, recalling his reflections on overcoming rejection in Hollywood. He recounted stories of being told he had “no future in the business,” only to see his resilience and self-belief steer him to legendary status. In terms of business activity, there were no major new film announcements, deals, or public appearances unrelated to conservation in the last few days.
To sum up, the long-term biographical significance of Ford’s recent remarks is considerable—they reinforce his reputation as an outspoken advocate, deepen his legacy at the intersection of celebrity activism and cultural debate, and keep him firmly in the public eye as both a Hollywood legend and a passionate environmentalist. All verified news outlets agree Ford’s comments are authentic, widely reported, and a major headline, with speculation limited to ongoing social chatter about his potential political influence if activism in entertainment continues to intensify.
