Harrison Ford cried up on Saturday while discussing the fifth episode of “Indiana Jones,” which will be the 80-year-old actor’s final outing as the whip-cracking archaeologist.

“Thank you for making these films such a great experience for all of us, and for providing us the opportunity to make these films for you,” an emotional Ford said at Disney’s D23 convention in Anaheim, California.

A cheer of encouragement came from the crowd as he paused for a second to recover himself.

“I’m very proud to say that this one is fantastic,” he continued, adding that his co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who was on stage with him, “is one of the reasons.”

“‘Indiana Jones’ movies are about fantasy and mystery, but they’re also about heart,” he continued, choking up again for a moment. “We have a really human story to tell, as well as a movie that will kick your a–.”

At the end of his speech he joked it would be his last time taking on the role. “This is it!” he kidded with the crowd. “I will not fall down for you again.”

“But thank you so much,” he added.

Ford suffered a shoulder injury while rehearsing a fight sequence for the film last year, but he returned to the set a few months later to finish production.

The actor previously injured his back while filming “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” in 1984.

The actor, who enjoys performing his own stunts, also broke his leg during the filming of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in 2015 and has wounded himself off-screen in two plane crashes while driving the plane.

Waller-Bridge, 37, quipped on set that “keeping up” with Ford was “exhausting.”

The film marks the famed archeologist’s first return to theatres since “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” in 2008.
