Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart have not shared screen time together. However, according to the Shrinking actor, never say never.
While speaking with Variety for an interview published Wednesday, July 30, the 83-year-old actor said the married couple would be costars on one condition. “If we get to work together, we’d want it to be someone else’s idea,” Ford explained.

“That kind of casting might not be the best way to bring people into an imagined situation, because [audiences] may say, ‘Oh, I know they’re married; now I’m not even thinking about the movie anymore,’ ” Ford said.
