"I was 35 when I starred in Star Wars and even older than that when I did Indiana Jones." And here's me at 32 thinking i'm a failure for not yet achieving the things i've hoped when I was younger.
Morgan Freeman is an even better example of someone blooming and finding great success later in life. He was in his late 40s, early 50s when he became a very successful actor.
Harrison ford was successful in middle class or working class terms, he had made a decent money from episodic televisions, had a family of his own and then joined carpentry which was booming job in those days. I have seen oldies retire in a big house with a small fortune after raising kids and all just working garage jobs or such if they were from those times. Harrison Ford was ambitious ...
Actually my teacher gives tours to Maine east (that’s where he went) for reunion parties and they have a picture of him and the class in which he was in still to this day make fun of him and mock him
I never thought he was rude in interviews like many say. The only times that he has been short with interviewers is when they ask dumb questions. That is fair enough.
Harrison Ford, is very inspirational. No matter what, he'll always be a great actor. I'm glad he never gave up on his dreams. Every movie he was in he did a excellent job!!! 😊👍🏾
He won something even better than that back in 2000: A Lifetime Achievement Award, which is essentially like an academy award for ALL of his work prior to that time. He received his recognition. One of my favorite actors.
He is shy and not always friendly. Look at other interviews and you will find a different man. He liked me from our first interview in 1977 for Star Wars till I retired in 2006. I have that interview from Star Wars and have not shown it since it aired on my talk show.
I read that he suffers from bad social anxiety. I have the same problem in that regard and people often mistake me for being an asshole basically. If I imagine being interviewed, well honestly the whole thing rly scares me and I'd just wanna get it over with, but thsts just me
Reba Merrill lol Just because he was rude or wasn't pleasant with you that's your perception does not mean hes a bad person towards others.....talk negative about someone for the whole world to view or perceive I care less what you think or say , I don't know who you are NOR DO I CARE, & Harrison is awesome and I can't stand when people talk negative about others ....makes me sick to my stomach.... Hypocritical at its best. Lol
Bullies that had known actors must now be kicking themselves in the skull for being such fools not realising who that person was and where he was going and I can see some of them wanting to find him perhaps they have changed learned from mistakes made who he he'll knows I'm sure that we time people in a cool will desperately seek fame to get away from things or look for ways to get ahead so they never fall behind with being held back no person wants to relive high school not fun or worth singing about alright thats right it's not ok we hate it so no stop singing about it hey don't do that damn lousy rotten high school Momeries not funny quit reminding us of how painful high school was because I'll tell you it wasn't songs and dancing that's all I am gonna say about that
This is one of the VERY BEST interviews I have ever seen with Harrison. He is usually not so relaxed and open. Thank you for posting this. He is, in my opinion one of the greatest actors ever. Right up there with Charlton Heston, (my other favorite).
cant show the receipt it was 20 yrs ago he used to give me a hundred dollars each time tip. but house is in brentwood his wife lives there melissa mathisonplayright she wrote et.no.begans w 6 street m
I was looking for this video, love seeing him talk about his life and career as he’s always been one of my favorite actors after seeing him in Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I also find it funny seeing him return to TV with 1923 after starting off on episodic TV, things coming full circle.
+Hawk_Eyed_Guy You are on the right track like Harrison you pick yourself up and dust yourself off and in the end you are the strong one an the winner.
This looks like a real good interview. Who did you work for at the time of the interview? My first experience with an interview was with Arnold... to his credit he took my lousy question and made a masterful answer. Any pointers?
Reba - When in his 20s he could stand a fool no problem. On kitchen remodel '72, humored another guy in 20s when forced on him to sand half his job & talked movie trivia for 2 days while sanding. $50 question to ask him is, how did you get acting portfolio photos to move from 1 TV episode last 18 mo to movie star?
He didn't need photos for Star Wars as he was the actor who read lines for the auditions and when Tom Sellack pulled out, Harrison was the only one left. After SW he was an in demand star.
I love RCI too.They have the best people working on their ships. I loved doing my lecture series on board,the Ford interview is part of it. Maybe we will meet on board.
Knowing that Harrison Ford got bullied in school makes me kind of happier because now I know that you don't need to be successful with friends and school to be successful in life. Though it sucks that he got bullied and the bullies are probably and hopefully cutting themselves to this day
well duhh! he is relaxed and at ease because HES INSIDE A PLANE (fake air force one on set) - thats his fix to deal with the shakes and shyness. Great human being in society (activist & rescue pilot), amazing actor on the screen, unique in his kind from looks to spirit, paused, eloquent and inteligent, with a je-ne-sais-quoi hoozing presence and soothing voice to top it all off... ohhh, and that menacing finger pointing we love. THANK YOU, this video is a flawless gem! That behind the scene indy moment when harrison slaps sean got me gasping in horror and then my heart melted when harrison falls into sean arms as if to apologize - mad respect they have for eachother - and then the biggest bromance hug is created at @3:25 (i thought the Spielberg/Ford behind the scene moment with the cup of water was adorable, but sean connery just stole the spotlight)
I have yet to see an interview,where Harrison Ford discusses his experiences in the filming of Regarding Henry.Though not one of his most well known films,his portrayal of that character,really encapsulated his broad range,as an actor.A wonderful film and a very impressive performance and of his very best works,if not the best performance of his career!
Lucky guy has been around got to kiss a lot of beautiful women in movies this is a legend that did it all seen many places taking part in the best roles is fun I'd say every experience memorable the action drama mystery adventure all together many can enjoy these always

I've seen the TV stuff he did in his 20s & he was so gorgeous & had that leading man quality how the heck did it take him to make it big so long? Were execs blind or what ? I think he got stuck in the 60s studio system & they just kept using him for TV. I saw him in bonanza 3x as separate cowboys. My dad loves that show & over 6 months when he would watch everyday he'd say man Harrison Ford again. Burt Reynolds BTW as quint was freaking gorgeous. He looked identical to Marlon Brando it's scary.
I would love to have an undocumented conversation with him so I can choose for myself what I think. I love his acting but I don't trust the media to make my opinion of a person. I've seen two sides of the way Harrison Ford is portrayed and possibly more, however, I'd like the opportunity to decide for myself.
+Reba Merrill I do he was interviewed sitting in some sort of cantina with an odd looking fellow. The creature said something unfavorable and Harrison shot him dead in front of the audience. I'm surprised he wasn't prosecuted. Get in touch and I will forward you the footage to upload! XD
