Harrison Ford has a phenomenal explanation for being the grumpiest star in Hollywood

The industry's foremost curmudgeon doesn't need to explain himself.

One of the things people love about Harrison Ford is his curmudgeonly disposition, with the actor frequently making it perfectly clear that he couldn’t be less interested in the things people want him to talk about.

His active disdain for spending almost half a century being followed around by Star Wars-related inquiries is already the stuff of legend, and we can’t wait to see how he reacts to being showered in speculative Marvel Cinematic Universe theories when he hits the press circuit for next year’s Captain America: New World Order.

There’s been a school of thought claiming that the Indiana Jones icon has a social anxiety disorder, which is what gives him his bespoke brand of gruff nonchalance whenever he’s placed under the bright spotlights of the press. However, in classic Ford fashion, he unequivocally shut those rumors down when speaking to The Hollywood Reporter.

“I don’t have a social anxiety disorder. I have an abhorrence of boring situations.”

There you have it, folks, Ford simply can’t hide it when he’s absolutely bored out of his mind. Based on how often he’s become a trending topic or meme for his soundbites, snippets, and dead-eyed stares, we’re going to go out on a limb and wager that it happens quite often.

Of course, that comes with the territory when you’ve been one of the biggest stars in the business since the 1970s, and at 80 years old, you get the distinct impression that he’s never going to change. And why should he?
