Happy birthday, Harrison Ford!

The beloved screen legend turned 84 on July 13, marking another year around the sun and another year of quality film and TV work.

While his on-screen persona may have evolved over time, from the suave leading man in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, to the curmudgeonly figure with the heart of gold in Shrinking, his commitment to his craft has remained the same.

And that includes his physical commitment, because let's be real, even in his 80s, Harrison Ford is still a name synonymous with "Hollywood hunks."
