Harrison Ford Withdraws from Oscars Due to Shingles Diagnosis

The 82-year-old actor, previously announced as a presenter, is recovering after receiving the diagnosis just days before the ceremony.

Harrison Ford, 82, has canceled his role as a presenter at the 2025 Oscars after being diagnosed with shingles on Friday, February 28.
Shingles, caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus, is not life-threatening but can result in a painful rash; Ford is currently resting and recovering.
Ford was announced as a presenter earlier in the week, joining a star-studded lineup that includes Dave Bautista, Gal Gadot, and Andrew Garfield.
The Oscars, hosted by Conan O'Brien, will take place on Sunday, March 2, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, airing live on ABC and Hulu.
Ford recently attended the SAG Awards on February 23, where he had a humorous viral moment during a speech by his 'Shrinking' co-star Jessica Williams.
