Here’s a fun fact: Harrison Ford was left out of the Shrinking cast’s group chat. Why? According to Jessica Williams, it’s because Ford doesn’t do texting. In a recent interview, Williams, who earned her first Emmy nomination for playing Gaby in Shrinking, opened up about the group chat dynamics, revealing that Ford’s absence wasn’t due to any drama; it’s just that “Harrison’s definitely not on it. You could say it’s a group chat minus one.”

While it might sound like an oversight, Williams humorously added, “I just don’t think he texts. I don’t even know if he has a phone.” For a man who’s become an iconic part of Hollywood’s DNA, it’s almost refreshing to imagine a tech-averse Ford living life beyond the ping of a notification.

Despite not being part of the chat, Ford certainly made his mark on Shrinking, starring as Dr. Paul Rhoades, a character who mentors Williams’ Gaby. The show, which premiered on AppleTV+, revolves around Jason Segel’s character, therapist Jimmy Laird, as he navigates grief and helps his patients, including Gaby. Shrinking’s quirky humor and emotional depth make it an easy watch, and Ford’s presence gives the show an added layer of wisdom and depth.
