LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Harrison Ford raised children at various points throughout his life. The Indiana Jones actor first became a parent in the 1960s with the births of sons Benjamin, 56, and Willard, 54, whom he shares with his first wife, artist Mary Marquardt. Ford was in his early twenties at the time and had yet to begin acting.

He then had son Malcolm, 35, and daughter Georgia, 32, with his second wife, Melissa Mathison, in 1987 and 1990, respectively. Ford adopted his now-wife Calista Flockhart's son Liam, 21, a decade later.

Who is Willard Ford?

Let's learn about Harrison's second son, Willard Ford, who was born on May 14, 1969, and is a businessman. According to People, he is the proprietor of the Strong Sports Gym in Los Angeles. Ford formerly owned the Kim Sing Theater in Los Angeles. Willard got a BA in American studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Willard, unlike his father, did not pursue a career in acting. He started his own business. Willard is also the proprietor of Ludwig Clothing Company.

On June 4, 2009, the Ludwig shop initially opened its doors in Chinatown, Los Angeles. The Ludwig collection is a mash-up of premium-casual men's designs, graphics inspired by the iconic 1971 film 'A Clockwork Orange, and a passionate tribute to the great musician.

'With nowhere to turn, we're calling it quits'

Willard also owned Strong Sports Gym, which was forced to close owing to the COVID-19 epidemic. "With nowhere to turn, we're calling it quits," read an Instagram post from June 2020. "I appreciate your patronage and friendship." Willard was a co-owner of the Kim Sing Theater. Willard also has a company with Andrea Ching - Ford & Ching. With headquarters in Los Angeles and New York, Ford & Ching specializes in representing developing and creative design, as reported by ABTC.

In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter in 2014, Willard revealed a bit about his work when he was selling the LA theater. "We have done launch events for BMW, Nike as well as corporate events for the Grammys, Pepsi and Star Wars in this place. It's great for all of that," Willard said.
