Oprah, Selena Gomez and Ben Stiller Among Latest Group of 2025 Oscars Presenters Announced
The Indiana Jones star most recently appeared at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 23 â without his wife, Calista Flockhart, whom he told PEOPLE was busy starring in a New York City production of Curse of the Starving Class by the late Sam Shepard.
During one funny moment at the awards show, as his Shrinking costar Jessica Williams was giving a speech from their table for the SAG Awards' famous "I Am an Actor" segment, Ford was hilariously caught stuffing his face with a cracker in the background.
"Los Angeles is known as the city of dreams and sure enough, all of my dreams have come true here, from my dream of preparing," Williams, 35, said before she was interrupted by the audienceâs laughter.
Seeing the giggles were caused by Fordâs eating followed by his surprised face, she joined in on the lighthearted moment.Â
"I told him to turn away! Don't look!" Williams quipped during the bit.
