Pensioner Harrison watches his pennies

Harrison Ford reveals that he takes advantage of his pensioner’s discount at the cinema – despite starring in movies that earn him hundreds and thousands of dollars. The 63-year-old actor – who is dating 41-year-old `Ally ocBeal’ star Calista Flockhart – admits, “Calista and I went to the movies yesterday, and I ordered one adult and one senior citizen. I saved $6.” Harrison also confessed that he might be getting old to perform gruelling movie stunts. He says, “Sometimes I find myself getting into stunt pads and preparing to roll down a flight of stairs and wrestle some 26-year-old stuntman across the floor and I think, ‘What am I doing?’ But, you know, it feels so good.” However Harrison is adamant he won’t be retiring from acting just yet – “I’ll only stop when it really hurts,” he adds.
