While Harrison Ford enjoys showing a funnier side of himself in the Apple TV+ series Shrinkit’s not the only reason he was attracted to the project.

“Oh man, I get essential human contact out of it,” the 82-year-old actor said recently Vanity fair. “I can imagine that people with a lot of skills and experience…. It’s fun to work with these people.”

Shrinkco-created by Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel and Brett Goldstein, it follows Jimmy (Segel), a grieving therapist, who begins telling his clients exactly what he thinks, ignoring his training and ethics. Ford plays Dr. Paul Rhoades, the head of a cognitive behavioral therapy practice and Jimmy’s colleague.

And while Ford is known for his more serial roles as Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise and Indiana Jones in the Indiana Jones franchise, he admitted that he is a “foolish person” at heart. The actor also believes that there is a sense of humor in every project.

“In a way, yes, because the jokes are really the surprise in everything, in a serious movie or in a streaming comedy,” he explained. “Finding the humor in the moment usually makes us survive. I like to invest characters I play in their own personal sense of humor. I think everyone has one, even if they aren’t funny.

Ford said he especially enjoys being around other people “having fun,” which made Shrink the perfect project for the actor as a down-to-earth comedy. “I don’t like to get too serious,” he added.

“I’ve always loved humor. I liked jokes. I loved the construction of jokes. My father was a joke teller. The art of words and the ideas behind a joke have always interested me,” Ford explains. “When I thought about becoming an actor, I was ambitious for both types of work: serious drama and comedy. I found myself doing both and not really making much distinction between the two. I think I think of a joke with the same actor’s mind as I think of a serious or emotional scene.”

Season two of Shrink premieres on Apple TV+ on October 16.
