Actor, Trump Hater Harrison Ford Gives The Most Painfully Boring, Uninspiring Commencement Speech In History

Harrison Ford, who has repeatedly called President Trump a criminal, just gave a criminally vacuous speech to an Arizona State University graduating class.

โ€œHarrison Fordโ€™s ASU commencement speech goes viral,โ€ headlined Ford bumkisser KTLA 5.

โ€œIn an inspiring speech to the class of 2026, actor Harrison Ford admitted to the mistakes of his generation, before calling on young people to change the world,โ€ said the TV outletโ€™s pathetic Alix Martichoux.

Ford kicked off his address by admitting he didnโ€™t always make the best choices when he was young. (Now there’s a new line.)

โ€œI was squandering my life in riotous living,โ€ the 83-year-old said of his college years.

He said found himself in a drama class looking for an easy A grade, but accidentally fell in love with acting.

Nonetheless, Ford claimed acting didn’t give him โ€œpurpose in life,โ€ but that once he โ€œdiscovered nonprofit Conservation Internationalโ€ in the 1980s he found his true purpose in activism on behalf of the environment.

Martichouxโ€™s report gave no indication how many grads were still awake by the time the sleeper of a speaker transitioned from himself to the environment.

โ€œHumanity is a part of nature, not above it,โ€ Ford droned, making a plea for environmental justice, social justice and protecting indigenous communities.

โ€œThese communities have long understood that the trees, the mountain, water, soil are not commodities, they are relatives to be cherished,โ€ he said.

Ford has previously said that Trumpโ€™s alleged failure to address the climate crisis โ€œscares the shit out of meโ€ and makes the president among the worst criminals in history.

In a recent blistering attack on Trump, Ford told Guardian news that the president โ€œdoesnโ€™t have any policies, he has whims. The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. Trump knows better, but heโ€™s an instrument of the status quo and heโ€™s making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a handbasket.โ€

โ€œTo be honest, if I ever had the chance to meet Harrison Ford I fully expect him to be a cranky old man,โ€ Prince Jarming posted on Reddit. โ€œI thought that was the entirety of his public persona.โ€

โ€œThe only thing you need to know about his personality is what he said when he met actor Jason Segel for the first time,โ€ another Redditor said.

โ€œโ€˜Of course I know who you are – Iโ€™ve seen Forgetting Sarah Marshal,โ€ Ford replied.

Segel asks: โ€œwhat did ya thinkโ€ and Fordโ€™s response was โ€œnice dick.โ€

When Trump once praised Ford’s acting as an heroic president in the film โ€œAir Force One,โ€ Ford shot back โ€œit’s just a movie, Donald.โ€

โ€œAnyone who’s watched or listened to an interview with Harrison Ford in the past 20 years knows that he’s an ornery sonuvabitch,โ€ commented GodFlintstone on Reddit.

Wonder how much he was paid to speak, a waste of money for sure.

Another Hollywood actor who I could give a sh*t about their opinion on anything .
Maybe Ford can team up with DeNiro and they can make another stinko film together .

Actors portray others, never self, and are portrayed as “real self” with this tirate. Booo. Illogical and self, not pretty as NADA was resolved.

Im guessing Deniro has a lower IQ than Ford, but not by much.
