‘Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny’s Harrison Ford On The Aging & De-Aging Of An Iconic Character And That Time He Served Tennis Balls Into The Head Of Sean Connery: Taormina

EXCLUSIVE: Harrison Ford has turned 80 by working more prolifically than at any time in his career, splitting time between the Emmy-caliber series Shrinking and 1923, while employing the whip and fedora one last time in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and joining Marvel’s Captain America series. In an interview before the Sunday night Italian premiere of his last hurrah as Indiana Jones 43 years after originating the character in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ford discusses the opportunity to confront an iconic character’s aging process, just after an action packed opening scene that uses de-aging technology to bring Ford back to his 40 year old self. It was a major reason he wanted to do the movie, getting to show the indefatigable archaeologist ‘as an older man lost and dealing with the loss of youth.’ And what about the disastrous time he played doubles partners with Sean Connery, the ageless great who played Indy’s father, and was the recipient of several serves into the back of his head as Ford pretended to know what he was doing on the courts? Watch for a candid peek into the mind of an acting legend.
