Harrison Ford while promoting his latest film on Wednesday condemned 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.”

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

Also, A fifth “Indiana Jones” movie, starring as the swashbuckling archaeologist with the unusual first name, is also in the works.

“To do another ‘Indiana Jones’ movie, it seems like a good idea, if we had a good script and I believe we are very close to having the script that we really want, so I am excited about the idea.”

Speaking on the day the US senate acquitted President Donald Trump on impeachment charges of abusing his office and obstructing Congress, Ford got sidetracked talking about politics.

“We need a complete reform of our immigration policies. We need to invite people into the country, and not to keep them out. This is the history and America depends on immigration.”

He was especially impressed with Swedish teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg.

“I admire her role representing to young people, her courage. Also, I admire her capacity to express herself. It seems young people have a leadership role” in environmental activism.

Harrison Ford is an American actor, aviator and environmental activist. He gained worldwide fame for his starring role as Han Solo in the Star Wars Trilogy.
