Ford's attitude about the films has always just pissed me off. If you don't like something, which you clearly don't, why you do it in the first place?

Hell, I'd argue his career wouldn't be what it became without star wars and he should at least be able to acknowledge that.

He always just comes off as "I'm better than you, I'm better than this franchise, I'm better than anything"

Christopher Eccleston famously hated Dr who, and he never seems to say a negative thing about it. Plenty of MCU actors hate the MCU, they don't talk shit, and I can't see them talking shit about them for several decades either.

    Ford struggled with anxiety and imposter syndrome early on, and developed his tough, flippant exterior around that as a coping mechanism. So there are a lot of stories about him saying callous, tough guy things. But he's quite a softie who really loves the art of acting, so I don't think he's really dismissing everything and everyone outright.

    And fucking ACED every one of them.

    That's the sign of a consummate professional. You show up and you do it anyway, and you nail it.

    Famously, Agatha Christie hated Hercule Poirot, yet she still wrote him into some of the best detective stories in the world.
