Hollywood hypocrisy is alive and well — and this week, it has a familiar face. Actor Harrison Ford, best known for playing rugged heroes like Indiana Jones and Han Solo, took a break from his multimillion-dollar lifestyle to deliver a sanctimonious lecture about climate change and former President Donald Trump.
In a sit-down with *The Guardian*, Ford unleashed a tirade that could have come straight from the script of a left-wing campaign ad. He called Trump “the greatest criminal in history” for supposedly ignoring climate change — a stunning accusation coming from a man who’s spent decades flying private jets and collecting luxury cars.
“Trump doesn’t have any policies, he has whims,” Ford ranted. “It scares the shit out of me. The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. He knows better, but he’s an instrument of the status quo and he’s making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a handbasket.”
The irony, of course, is almost too rich. Ford, who reportedly owns several aircraft and multiple homes across the globe, has made a fortune portraying rugged American individualism on screen — while now sounding more like a climate crusader from a San Francisco think tank.
Ford didn’t stop there. He went on to accuse Trump of being motivated purely by greed and mocked the former president’s skepticism of so-called “green energy,” claiming Trump opposed wind turbines simply because “he hasn’t seen a gold one.” He then delivered his most outrageous statement of the interview, declaring: “It’s unbelievable. I don’t know of a greater criminal in history.”
Apparently, in Ford’s Hollywood worldview, ignoring the latest U.N. climate report ranks somewhere above dictators, terrorists, and war criminals.
For years, Ford has played the part of Hollywood’s eco-warrior while enjoying all the comforts of carbon-fueled privilege. He’s publicly supported Kamala Harris and other left-wing politicians, endorsed radical environmental policies, and regularly scolds ordinary Americans for not doing enough to “save the planet.”
Yet, while average families are struggling to afford gas and groceries, Ford’s solution is more government control, more restrictions, and more guilt for anyone who dares to drive to work in something other than an electric car.
Still, Ford insists he’s been “preaching this stuff for 30 years,” claiming he’s seen “concrete evidence” of climate change and warning that humanity must “develop the political will and intellectual sophistication” to act. It’s classic Hollywood arrogance — the idea that actors, not engineers or economists, hold the key to saving civilization.
Naturally, he pivoted to another progressive talking point, praising “indigenous people” as “stewards” of the Earth and warning about “encroachment” by the West — as if his Beverly Hills zip code and globe-trotting career don’t make him part of that very problem.
And in true leftist fashion, Ford closed with a dose of class warfare, complaining that “the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.” That’s a bold statement from a man worth more than $300 million, whose career depends on the very capitalist system he now condemns.
Ford may play an American hero on screen, but in real life, he’s become the latest Hollywood elitist lecturing working Americans about their “responsibility” while doing the exact opposite in his own life.
Trump’s record on energy speaks for itself: under his leadership, America achieved energy independence, gas prices dropped, and the country became less reliant on foreign oil. Meanwhile, Biden’s and Harris’s green policies — the very ones Ford supports — have sent costs soaring and crippled American industry.
Harrison Ford’s outburst isn’t about saving the planet — it’s about saving face with Hollywood’s woke elite. Like so many before him, he’s traded the whip and fedora for a moral soapbox, proving once again that when it comes to hypocrisy, Tinseltown never disappoints.
