Harrison Ford, 82, Brags About His Cowboy Skills as ‘1923’ Rides Into Season 2!

At 82, Harrison Ford is still riding high—literally! The legendary actor recently opened up to People Magazine about the not-so-daunting physical demands of horseback riding in his role as Jacob Dutton in Paramount’s *1923*. “I think the demands are not really as daunting as they look,” he playfully stated, showing confidence that could rival his character’s rugged cowboy charm. Despite the physical nature of his role in the cut-throat world of the early 20th-century Montana ranching scene, Ford insists that galloping across the landscape is not the Herculean task everyone thinks it is.

However, his co-star and screen wife, the phenomenal Helen Mirren, couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his self-deprecation. She praises his equestrian skills, dubbing him a “fantastic rider” and lamenting that he’s downplaying it a bit too much. “I was incredibly impressed, I have to say,” she added, attesting to Ford’s deftness as he galloped into the sunset. Ford, being the humble cowboy he is, deflected the compliments to his trusty steed, saying, “I had a fantastic horse,” a classic move that great riders love to make.

As season two prepares to premiere on February 23, we’re ready for a wild ride. This season promises to turn up the heat as the Duttons face a brutal winter and hostile foes threatening their land. The storyline sees Jacob’s nephew, Spencer—played by Brandon Sklenar—embarking on a perilous journey home, intensifying the theme of familial loyalty that runs deep through the series, created by Taylor Sheridan of *Yellowstone* fame. Speaking to People, Sklenar shared how working with icons like Ford and Mirren showed him the secret to their long-standing success: a genuine sense of humanity and kindness.

So grab your popcorn and prepare for a hearty dose of drama, deception, and horseback riding adventures! We’re here for it, and so should you be.
