5 Times Harrison Ford Was Too Real In Interviews!

Harrison Ford is one of the last true movie stars in Hollywood. His charisma and screen presence contributed to the success of countless classic films, such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner, and many more. However, Ford is known to be just as entertaining off-camera, with his candid, no-nonsense attitude making for some memorable interview moments. Here are 5 times when the 82-year old movie star was particularly real!
1. The Force Awakens Injury Reenactment
Harrison Ford is notoriously sardonic about Star Wars. He hates answering questions about the franchise and is known as having desperately wanted for his character Han Solo to die in Return of the Jedi. Well, he finally got his wish when Han was killed by his own son Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens. When promoting the film on "Jimmy Fallon", Ford hilariously used a Han Solo action figure to dramatically reenact an injury he sustained while on set, cursing as he ripped off its limbs and threw them on the ground. In the end, we got not one, but two scenes of Han Solo's death.
2. Returning for Blade Runner
Harrison Ford starred alongside Ryan Gosling in the critically-acclaimed Blade Runner 2049, a sequel to the 1982 sci-fi genre revolutionizing film Blade Runner. An interviewer asked him what his reaction was to the new film, to which he replied, “So what?” He went on to joke about how he also asked, “Show me the money!”, and when attempting to get serious, he couldn’t handle himself and wryly reached for a drink.
5. Debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Harrison Ford is set to star in Captain America: Brave New World, releasing in Spring 2025, as Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, AKA Red Hulk. When speaking to Variety, he stated, “What did it take? It took not caring. It took being an idiot for money, which I’ve done before.” While this is certainly in line with his personality and definitely true, Ford went on to show some more seriousness and candor, stating, “It’s fun, and I enjoyed it. I had a great time, and I’m delighted at the response that we got with the trailer.”
Harrison Ford may be humorously cynical on the outside, but this quote shows that in his heart he really cares; he just prefers to be more “real”, which is exactly what Hollywood needs sometimes.
