Harrison Ford enthusiasts are worried that he might retire from acting after hints in his Critics' Choice speech.

After being celebrated for his iconic roles in movies like Star Wars at the awards, he focussed on the future of the industry, saying: "I'm really happy to be here tonight to see what our business is turning into and all the talented people who are getting opportunities that probably wouldn't have in the early part of my career."

The Indiana Jones legend, 81, seemed visibly humbled with tears in his eyes as he made his way to ther stage.

In a modest reflection on his success, he attributed some of it to luck. While peers could only congratulate him for his incredible acting feats, one observer noted that the "speech sounded a lot like a retirement speech." Another concurred, stating: "It did. It made it very uncomfortable and sad to see him there like that."
