Actor Harrison Ford––known for big hit movies such as Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and even Star Wars––recently announced that he is changing his diet to save the planet.
In a recent episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ford explained that he has now eliminated all dairy from his diet as well as many other animal-based products. Ford said on the show, “I eat vegetables and fish … no dairy. I was just tired of eating meat and I know it’s not really good for the planet and I know it’s not really good for me.”
Ford also informed Ellen that he doesn’t eat any other types of meat––only fish. In conversation with Ellen, he explained that he had changed his diet with the aims of fighting against the global warming issue that we’re facing. He also mentioned that he supported and has visited the United Nations Climate Action Summit.
“We all need to start talking about the climate crisis”, he said. “We need to insist that our elected officials do it.”
Ford’s next film release––titled The Call of the Wild––is hitting theaters this Friday. Ford––now 77 years old––also explained that he will indeed continue to play his role as Indiana Jones, with the fifth film of the series coming in 2021.
