At Arizona State University's graduation, Harrison Ford surprised the crowd with candid stories about his stumbling start and a surprising life mission. Read on to discover the full story!

From misfit to stage revelation

Ford admitted he made poor choices in college and nearly flunked out before enrolling in a drama class just to secure an easy grade. Instead he found an unexpected home in theater, saying he felt liberated performing and discovered a new side of himself among classmates he once dismissed.
