    The veteran actor's latest appearance has sparked concern among his fans .

    Harrison Ford , 82, was spotted at Disney 's D23 Expo in August, where he was honored with the Disney Legend award.

    Ford, renowned for his roles as Han Solo in Star Wars and the whip-cracking Indiana Jones, left his handprints in cement to commemorate the occasion.

    However, when signing his name above the prints, onlookers noticed that Ford seemed to struggle, raising eyebrows about his well-being.

    A clip of Ford at the event surfaced on Good Morning America's Instagram, leading to a flurry of worried comments.

    "He does not look well," one fan remarked, while another echoed the sentiment, saying, "Congrats to him, but it breaks my heart to see him so frail."

    Questions arose from a third commenter, "Is anyone else concerned one hand was more pressed than the other? ".

    Another expressed sadness: "Tough to see my guy getting old."

    And yet another fan added, "Shoot he does not look well."

    During the ceremony on August 11, when Disney CEO Bob Iger presented him with the award, Ford shared a touching message with his audience, as reported by Variety: "I love the life you've given me,".

    "I love the people that I've had the opportunity to work with. Nobody does anything in this business for long. We work in collaboration, no matter what who we are and what we're doing."

    "The stories are for you, about you, about us. To be able to work in that area is a privilege," he concluded, becoming visibly emotional.

    Harrison Ford, a name which has become iconic in Hollywood, could have not existed in the celebrity space if some people had got their way.

    Opening up to Kelly Ripa, Harrison revealed all about how he was encouraged to change his name when he was starting out to stand out more.

    During the 2017 interview on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Kelly expressed her shock to the veteran actor. She said: "They wanted you to change your name?" Ford replied: "Yeah, they thought Harrison Ford was a pretentious name for a young man and I didn't agree with that, I thought it was a pretentious name for an old man."

    As the studio burst into laughter, Ripa said: "Harrison Ford is a great movie star name!"
