Han Solo in a mid-life crisis?

Turn 60, dump your wife of twenty years, wear an earring and hang out with a human stick figure in night clubs. Actor Harrison Ford has made few changes lately:

In a rare interview about his private life, Ford, now 63, told Saga magazine: "I am not the first man who wanted to make changes in his life at 60 and I won't be the last. It is just that others can do it with anonymity."

Asked if he was going through a severe mid-life crisis, he admitted: "A lot of people might be asking that."

Hey, leave the guy alone. It's his life, after all. And if he wants to be with Calista Flockhart - 23 years his junior - what the hell. I bet he had her at "I know".

My only question is why are we talking mid-life crisis here? Did the life expectancy age suddenly jump up to 126? Sounds more like an end-of-life crisis to me.

I mean, if they ever make another "Raiders" movie, Indiana Jones will be wearing a colostomy bag where his bull whip should be.
