He is clearly a living legend. Harrison Ford He’s made 70 movies since he played Han Solo Star Wars, but it’s hard for him to put on a poker face when he’s flattered. We see the actor’s sarcastic gesture when he is presented in a morning television broadcast, in fact, as “the man, the myth, the legend”.
His technique of conducting television interviews is part of his manual: he looks at the public in search of complicity as if to say: “they see what I have to pay”. Try to answer as few questions as possible about the characters or the show you are promoting. And even less he likes to give information about his private life.
Taking notes is as good for him as going to the dentist, he told this reporter a couple of years ago. He now he takes advantage of the fact that he was filming a series in freezing Montana, to explain that he was better off outdoors in sub-zero temperatures than in the interviewee’s chair.
Harrison Ford is in the top ten Hollywood personalities that as a journalist you want to interview, but you know it will cost you a lot of effort and just this month he had to go on a promotional tour for his series (1923 by Paramount+ and Narrowing on Apple TV+) With two TV series and the upcoming release of the fifth film in the Indiana Jones saga confirmed for June 30, this February saw Harrison embark on a press tour that took him to New York (where he lived for 25 years ) and Los Angeles, the city he left to go with his wife to live on a ranch in Wyoming.
When he says he left Hollywood to live in another state, like many actors lately, he clarifies that Hollywood is a fictional place, “the entertainment business is called Hollywood, but it’s filmed everywhere, not necessarily in Los Angeles.”
What does he like
“Acting is where I feel most useful -he confesses-, I lost my carpentry skills a long time ago”. Well, here’s the explanation why it’s still so active. When the question, on the other hand, goes to the side of how much he resembles her characters, she always says more or less the same thing: “He looks like me in some ways or he doesn’t look like me at all, that’s called acting.”
Curiously, he spent his time working during the pandemic, traveling the world, when his peers, he turned 80 in July, were asked to take better care of Covid than young people. He likes spending time on his ranch in Wyoming, but not the idea of retiring.
It is clear that he liked the opportunity to travel it gave him 1923the sequel to the prequel of the series yellowstone. His character, John Dutton, is the great-great grandfather of the rancher played by Kevin Costner. They shot in Africa (“seriously, this is not a Santa Clarita set”) and Montana, where the action takes place alongside another legendary actress, Helen Mirren.
So she’s thrilled to have renewed the series for a second season. “A very ambitious work, curious that they continue to call it television,” he says. And no, he didn’t have to milk the cows and he doesn’t even have them on the ranch in Wyoming, although someone always wonders. Also, note that the word “ranch” seems a bit of an exaggeration. And that already makes you want the interview to end, damn it.
No openings, which is not couch meat.
Although now he takes on the role of a psychiatrist in the play Narrowing (Apple TV+) clarifies that he has never seen one in his life. And why do you start now?
But let’s review the pearls of the promotion week. ”What project would you like to do with your wife (actress Calista Flockhart, with whom you haven’t worked yet)? asks Ryan Seacrest. “Make the bed, one on each side.”
Worse still goes Stephen Colbert when he wants information about the new Indiana. Jones and the Call of Destiny. “I can tell you everything I know,” replies Harrison Ford kindly, “ask calmly.” And of course all the answers from then on will be “I don’t know.”
