Harrison Ford's emotional speech after receiving Palme d’Or
Harrison Ford began his speech by saying that he felt very moved by the Palme d'Or. He further said, "They say when you’re about to die, you see your life flash before your eyes. And I just saw my life flash before my eyes – a great part of my life." He then expressed gratitude to his wife and said, "A great part of my life, but not all of my life. My life has been enabled by my lovely wife, who has supported my passion and my dreams, and I’m grateful." He then interacted with the audience and said, "I love you, too. But I’ve got a movie you ought to see. It’s right behind me. So let me get out of the way, and thank you again for this great honor."
