Harrison playing the original Deckard?


https://youtu.be/zOgq51ldJ2o

Since Ridley confirmed Harrison Ford's character in Blade Runner is a replicant, how are they explaining the 30 year aging effect?

Isn't it possible that Harrison Ford is playing the original Deckard? The one Tyrell based its model on? I always assumed Deckard's wife died and he retired from the force. Instead of getting the old blade runner back, they just developed a replicant to do the job instead. This would explain why Gaff is tailing Deckard and watching his progress. Ryan Gosling could also be playing Deckard 2.0, a younger version of Harrison.

If they retcon Deckard being a replicant, I've lost all interest in this project.
