For his role in 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Harrison landed a bumper pay cheque of £16million and 0.5% share of the revenue - a huge improvement on the £10,000 he made for the 1977 original.

In 2017, Harrison reprised his role of Rick Deckard for Blade Runner 2049, the long-awaited sequel to the 1982 sci-fi classic.

Starring opposite Ryan Gosling and Jared Leto, the follow-up has won rave reviews for Harrison and the rest of the cast.
