Cobie Smulders has hailed Harrison Ford as "one of the greats".

The 43-year-old actress stars alongside Harrison, 83, in Shrinking, the hit Apple TV series, and Cobie has opened up about her experience of working with the Hollywood icon.

Speaking about the finale to season three of the show, Cobie told People: "I mean, Harrison is one of the greats, right? So it was a really beautiful moment for me, just selfishly, to be able to be in a scene with him is like just a really exciting moment of my life.

"We had a great time, and it was fun to be funny and silly and try to make people laugh."

Shrinking also features the likes of Michael Urie, Christa Miller, Jessica Williams and Luke Tennie. And Cobie relished the experience of working with the talented cast.

She said: "I felt very honoured. I felt very grateful to join this cast. It's such a talented group of people."

Meanwhile, Harrison previously admitted that he loves "pretending to be somebody else".

The veteran film star is one of the highest-grossing actors in the world, but Harrison never really planned to become a Hollywood icon.

Harrison told Variety: "I'd been to college, and I hadn't made a success of my academic career. At the beginning of my junior year, I looked for something in the course catalogue that would help me get my grade point average up, and I came across drama.

"The first line of the paragraph that described the course said, 'You read and discuss plays,' and I thought, 'I can do that.' I didn't read all the description -- typical of me in those days -- because the last few lines described that the course also required you to be part of the school plays for that academic year. I hadn't ever done anything like that before, so I was shocked by that part of it.

"But I quickly recognised that I loved telling stories. I liked dressing up and pretending to be somebody else. And the people that I met had a similar bent, people that I might have overlooked. They're people that probably hadn't been really seen before, for who they are, for what they were -- and they were storytellers."
