Early life and education
Malcolm Ford, who is 36 years old as of 2023, was born on October 3, 1987, in New York City to parents Harrison Ford and Melissa Matheson.

He also has two older half-brothers, Ben Ford and Willard Ford, from his father’s first marriage to Mary Marquardt, and an adopted brother, Liam Flockhart, from his father’s third marriage to Calista Flockhart.
Malcolm grew up in a privileged and artistic environment, encouraged by his parents’ fame and talent. Malcolm was exposed to music at an early age, as his father played guitar and sang for him and his sister.
Inspired by his mother’s career as a screenwriter, he also developed an interest in photography and filmmaking.
He attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City, where he met his future bandmate and friend Jack Byrne, the son of actor Gabriel Byrne and actress Ellen Barkin.
He later attended the University of Vermont but dropped out after a year to pursue a career in music.
Personal life
Malcolm Ford had had several relationships in the past, but none of them lasted long.
From 2010 to 2011, he dated model Jessica Stam, and from 2012 to 2015, he dated actress Eve Hewson (daughter of U2 singer Bono).
In 2016, he was also rumored to be dating actress Kristen Stewart, but the two denied the rumors. As of 2023, Malcolm is single and focusing on music.
Malcolm is very close to his family, especially his father, who has always been supportive of his music career. He often accompanies his father to events and premieres, and they share a similar sense of humor and style.
He also adores his siblings and has a good relationship with his stepmother, Calista Flockhart. He considers himself to be very spiritual and has several tattoos, including a cross, a snake, and a skull.
Profession
Malcolm Ford began his music career in 2008 when he formed the band The Dough Rollers with Jack Byrne, whom he met in high school.
Byrne taught Malcolm to play guitar, and the two bonded over their love of blues, country, and rock and roll. They initially performed as a duo, covering old songs by artists such as Robert Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, and Hank Williams.
Later, they invited singer Julia Tepper to join the lineup, experimenting with different genres and styles. In 2010, they released their debut album of the same name, which included 10 original and traditional songs.
However, Tepper left the band soon after, and Malcolm and Byrne continued the band as a duo. In 2011, they released their second album, Someday Baby, which included 12 blues and rock songs.
They also toured extensively, opening for artists such as Bob Dylan, Queens of the Stone Age, and John Mellencamp.
In 2013, they expanded the band with drummer Kyle Olsen and bassist Josh Barocas and signed with Jack White’s record label, Third Man Records. In 2014, they released their first EP, Gone Baby Gone, which showed the band’s evolution and maturity.
The EP received positive reviews from critics and fans, and was praised for its catchy melodies, raw vocals, and energetic performances. The Dough Rollers have been working on their third album, which is expected to be released in 2023.
They have also collaborated with other artists, such as singer-songwriter Elle King, Malcolm’s cousin. Malcolm is the band’s lead singer and guitarist, and also wrote most of the band’s songs.
He was influenced by many musicians, including Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and the Black Keys. He greatly admired his father’s musical talent and performed with him many times.
