Harrison Ford gets shouted at by co-star Jessica Williams for interrupting her SAG Awards speech

Jessica Williams jokingly told off her Shrinking co-star Harrison Ford for threatening to ruin her speech at the SAG Awards on Sunday.

This year’s Screen Actor’s Guild Awards opened with its annual “I Am An Actor” introduction, in which stars talk about how they got their big breaks.

Comedian Williams, who was seated next to Ford, looked earnestly at the camera and began: “Los Angeles is known as the city of dreams and sure enough all my dreams have come true here.”

The Indiana Jones star, 82, was seen putting a chip in his mouth in the background, before realizing he was on camera and slowly removing it with a look of mock-horror.

As the audience burst out laughing, Williams, 35, realized what was happening and playfully yelled at him: “I told him to turn away! Don’t look!”

Ford slowly turned away in his chair, putting his back to the camera and continued to eat, as guests chuckled around him.

Going back to her speech, Williams went on: “From my dream of preparing in a Starbucks bathroom before an audition to my dream of crying in a Del Taco bathroom afterwards.

“But more than just a dream factory, this city has always been my home. I am Jessica Williams. I'm L.A.-born and bred, and I am an actor.”

She then turned to Ford and jokingly jabbed him, as the actor laughed and embraced the Fantastic Beasts star.

Ford and Williams both play therapists in the Apple TV+ comedy drama Shrinking, which has aired two seasons so far.

The show also stars Jason Segel, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Lukita Maxwell, Christa Miller, Wendie Malick, and Brett Goldstein.

It was up for two awards at the SAG Awards, including Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series for Ford.

Veteran actor Martin Short took home the gong for his role as eccentric Broadway director Oliver Putnam in the Hulu comedy series, Only Murders In The Building.

Shrinking was also nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, which was also scooped by Only Murders In The Building.
