40 Years Later, Harrison Ford Revealed the Truth Regarding Blade Runner

In the iconic movie by Ridley Scott, Harrison Ford plays Rick Deckard. His task is to pursue escaped replicants, but the story told in the work goes far beyond this simple premise. The intrigue presented in the movie has led to two theories as to who Deckard really is: a human or a replicant?

Over the years, proponents of both options have argued in a debate. One of them was represented by the film's director, who from the very beginning believed that the main character was a replicant, and some suggestions were hidden in the film to confirm this version. Harrison Ford, on the other hand, advocated that Rick Deckard was human.

The star changed his stance in an interview with Esquire. In a recording shared on YouTube the actor admits that he has always known the identity of his character. He explained why he has supported a different version of events all these years:

Harrison Ford's response may suggest that the man somehow identified with his character and it was on his behalf that he objected to a vision in which he would not be human. At the same time, this position of the actor ends the discussion, which is an interesting element of fandom. Of course, some fans may continue to disagree that Deckard was a replicant. Without Harrison Ford on their side, however, their option seems much weaker.
