Harrison Ford is looking back on one of the darkest periods of his life. On the Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, the actor revealed that he battled severe depression while attending Ripon College in Wisconsin. Ford said he would rarely leave his dorm room, describing a routine where he’d get out of bed only long enough to order a pizza, then go right back to sleep. He admitted that even on the rare days he tried to attend class, he’d touch the building door and immediately turn around. He said, “I was more than depressed. I think I was ill. I was socially ill, psychologically not well.” Ford said he never found a sense of community — until he accidentally enrolled in a drama class to boost his GPA. He didn’t realize it required acting, but once he stepped into that world, everything changed. He discovered a group of people he connected with and said he finally felt like he belonged. “I simply found my place amongst storytellers,” Ford said. He credits that class with changing his entire life.
