Harrison Ford Opens Up About College Depression and Finding His Tribe Through Drama
Harrison Ford has revealed he battled severe depression while studying at Ripon College. He says he spent days isolated in his room, ordering pizza and sleeping to escape social anxiety. The 83-year-old star told The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast that joining a drama class changed everything. He found a community of fellow storytellers who helped him overcome isolation and rediscover his confidence. Ford also admitted he was expelled just days before graduation for plagiarism in his philosophy thesis. Despite this setback, he went on to become one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, crediting persistence, luck, and the support of his drama peers.
