Harrison Ford, the iconic Indiana Jones star, has reportedly withdrawn from presenting at the 2025 Oscars due to a shingles diagnosis. The news broke on Saturday morning, just days after he was announced as a presenter alongside other stars like Rachel Zegler and Samuel L. Jackson. According to Entertainment Weekly, Ford received his diagnosis on Friday and has since been resting. While his representatives haven't yet commented, reports suggest he's doing okay. This comes as a surprise, as Ford recently appeared in good spirits at the 2025 SAG Awards and gave an interview where he discussed his health while filming Season 2 of "1923". The actor mentioned riding horses for the series, seemingly indicating good physical health. However, the shingles diagnosis has clearly impacted his immediate plans. The Mayo Clinic defines shingles as a painful viral rash, but not life-threatening. This news follows a stressful period for Ford, who recently had to evacuate his Brentwood home due to the Palisades fire in January.
