Harrison Ford has dropped out of his presenting role at the Oscars — to be held tomorrow in Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre — following a diagnosis of shingles, his representatives have confirmed to outlets.

The Shrinking star stepped out last weekend at the SAG Awards, where he was part of a lighthearted viral moment with fellow co-star Jessica Williams, whose “I Am An Actor” introduction speech he inadvertently interrupted by trying to sneak some food in the background of the shot.

According to reports, the veteran actor was diagnosed with the illness yesterday, leading him to nix the appearance as of this morning. Shingles, caused by the same virus as chickenpox known as varicella-zoster virus, is an infection that leads to a painful rash. Per the Mayo Clinic, shingles is not life-threatening and can occur as a reactivation of chickenpox, given that the virus stays in the body for the rest of one’s life.

Entertainment Weekly first reported the news.
