Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart had no problem acting the proud parents at their son Liam's university graduation Saturday. 

The couple, who have been married for 13 years, tried to fit in with all the other parents who were watching their children receive diplomas from Amherst College in Massachusetts. 

Calista, 58, looked stylish in a short sleeved white dress with a crew neck and lace panels across the bodice and skirt. 

The Supergirl actress brushed her dark blonde hair straight and wore natural looking makeup.

She carried a cream leather handbag and a cream sweater. 

The proud mom could be seen using her cell phone to photos of Liam, 22, as he walked across the stage. 

Harrison, 80, looked dapper in a navy blue suit with a light blue button down shirt. 

His gray hair was closely cropped and he wore dark aviator glasses. 

Both parents looked fondly at their son as they embraced him in congratulations.

Liam kept his look simple beneath his black cap and gown.

The graduate wore a pair of beige khakis, a white button down shirt and black sneakers. 

The Ally McBeal star announced she had adopted her son Liam as a single parent in January 2001. 

'I have always wanted to adopt a child and I am overjoyed that I have been blessed with a beautiful and healthy son,' the new mom said in a statement at the time.

Speaking of her new bundle of joy, she admitted, 'I'm completely enchanted and awe-struck.' 

One year later, she and Harrison met at the 59th Golden Globe Awards in 2002.

Calista was nominated for a best actress award for her role in Ally McBeal. 

Harrison was there to receive the Cecil B DeMille Award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The couple kept their relationship quiet until they decided to go public, stepping out together at the Venice Film Festival in September of that year. 

The pair lived together for nearly a decade before tying the knot in 2010 in New Mexico, where the action star was working on the film Cowboys and Aliens. 

Liam was about nine when his parents married. Harrison was 67 at the time. 

'I've got five kids in total, so it's not my first rodeo,' the Star Wars star told The Independent.

Yeah, obviously, I'm getting older but I don't relate to it very much. It doesn't interest me as something to dwell on. I have a 9-year-old kid at home. I feel like the father of a 9-year-old.'

'My older children have taught me a lot about parenting. My first child was born when I was 25. I reckon I'm a little better at it now.'

The actor has four older children from his prior marriages. 

Ben, 56, and Willard, 54, are his sons from his first marriage to illustrator Mary Marquardt, 78.  He shares Malcolm, 35, and daughter Georgia, 32, with his second wife, ET: the Extra-Terrestrial screenwriter Melissa Mathison, 65.

Neither Harrison nor Calista keeps a strong social media presence.

An Instagram page attributed to Liam reads, 'My parents are Calista Flockhart & Harrison Ford My parents say I can't take selfies becuz I need a private life #annoyingactorparents #single.'

Harrison and Calista recently returned from Cannes where Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny debuted. The actor received a five minute standing ovation for what could be his final portrayal of the beloved character who helped make him a superstar. 

When asked at a news conference what it was like for him receiving such an accolade, he got teary and answered, 'Indescribable.'

'I can't even tell you,' he added. 'The welcome is unimaginable and it makes me feel good.'

When asked about the de-aging technique that allowed him to look like his younger self at the beginning of the film, the actor said he didn't feel the need to revisit his younger years. 

'I don't look back and wish I was that guy again. I am real happy with age. I could be dead, after all, and I am still working.'

The action hero recently returned to television, starring in 1923, a Yellowstone prequel, which has been renewed for a second season, and Shrinking, a comedy on Apple TV+, which has also been renewed. 

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny opens in theaters June 30.
