    Harrison Ford Wanted to Look Like ‘an Old Man’ in “Dial of Destiny”

    Hollywood mainstay Harrison Ford wants to make sure Indiana Jones behaves as an old man should for “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” The almost 81-year-old actor (his birthday is in July) has made no bones about his age. And he wants to make sure that audiences see that. The actor became intensely frustrated over being spotted by several stunt men while dismounting from a horse.

    “I wanted an ambitious movie to be the last one,” Ford said. “And I don’t mean that we didn’t make ambitious movies before — they were ambitious in many different ways. But not necessarily as ambitious with the character as I wanted the last one to be.”

    Ford is no stranger to horses, having ridden them throughout the “Indiana Jones” franchise, as well as other notable projects. (You know, like “The Frisco Kid,” “1923,” “Cowboys and Aliens,” and in his personal life.)

    “I thought, ‘What the fuck?’ Like I was being attacked by gropers,” Ford said. “I look down and there’s three stunt guys there making sure I didn’t fall off the stirrup. They said, ‘Oh, we were just afraid because we thought, you know, and bah bah bah bah.’ And I said, ‘Leave me the fuck alone…Leave me alone, I’m an old man getting off a horse and I want it to look like that!””

    Indy is Old, and Should Act it

    Ford has always taken personal pride in doing many of his own stunts in the “Indiana Jones” films. And, at his age, he wants to do what he can. While portraying Indiana Jones realistically. He’s an old man who doesn’t possess the spryness of a youngster anymore. If he’s looking old doing a stunt he’s capable of performing, he’s going to look old. And that’s the point. This is Indiana Jones’ final adventure. And clearly Ford wants to embrace that through and through.

    Not that Ford hasn’t run into stumbling blocks wanting to perform physically. Filming shut down for two weeks after he tore the subscapularis muscle off his right shoulder in a sword fight with Mads Mikkelsen. He had to sit out an additional six to heal when it resumed. “Yeah, well, I’m also known for shutting movies down because I get hurt, which is not something you want to be known for. But hey, shit happens.” muses Ford.

    While this might be the end of Indiana Jones, it’s not the end for Ford. He’ll be starring in “Captain America: New World Order,” his first ever Marvel Studios movie, and eventually (we assume) “Thunderbolts.” “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” hits theaters June 30th, 2023.
