Taking a chance in Mexico

Veteran actor Harrison Ford, who was in Mexico City to promote his latest film The Call of the Wild, took a chance to express his political views.

The 77-year-old actor decried the collapse of US “moral leadership” on issues such as improving the environment and immigration policy.

“We need moral leadership. We’ve lost some of our credibility and we are anxious to regain it,” the Hollywood star told reporters.

Ford was in town to talk about his starring role in The Call of the Wild, an adventure film set in Alaska in the 1890s and based on a novel by US author Jack London.

Relaxed and smiling, the actor also touched on his iconic Hollywood roles in the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Blade Runner movies.
