Harrison Ford discusses Emmy nomination

Ford has been nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards for his role as Dr Paul Rhoades in Shrinking.

The actor stated that he does not think there is "anything competitive about creativity". Also, he does not understand the need to compare one person's work with the other.

"If you like it, you like it; if you don’t like it, look at something else," he said.

Ford stated that acting is what he loves doing, as he likes to tell stories and pretend to be somebody else in front of the camera.

He shared that Kevin Feige has not convinced him yet to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) after featuring in Captain America: Brave New World earlier this year.
