The Mayo Clinic defines shingles as “a viral infection that causes a painful rash” and is not life-threatening.
Reps for Ford, 83, weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
On Wednesday, the actor was announced as a presenter at the Oscars alongside Rachel Zegler, Zoe Saldaña, Samuel L. Jackson and Gal Gadot.
One of his last public outings was at the 2025 SAG Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 23.
The “Shrinking” star was all smiles at the event while posing with co-star Wendie Malick, who played his on-screen love interest.
Despite his recent diagnosis, he revealed that he was in good physical health during an interview with People published on Feb. 27.
Ford sat down with the outlet to discuss filming Season 2 of “1923,” which requires him to be on horseback.
“I think the demands are not really as daunting as they look,” he said.
“I spent half an hour on a horse, and from a contemporary point of view, you look at that, and say, ‘Whoa, people used to do that,’ but it really is not that difficult.”
