@metallicstucco Although Ford's carrer never reached the same height, I wouldn't exactly say his career tanked. The third Indy film, twice as Jack Ryan, The Fugitive, Air Force One; all good films.
He isn't stoned or grumpy. Every interview he's ever done is like this. This is the real him when he isn't acting. Too many people make the big mistake in thinking he's like the characters he plays. The truth is, Harrison Ford has always been an extremely shy, quiet person with anxiety. He's always very nervous and uncomfortable around people. His personality is nothing like Han's and Indy's. He's just really good at pretending to be something he isn't when he has a script.
@Onlymusical no he really aint indiana jones in this, hes boring in this interview, hes a good actor because i like the indiana jones movies, n i thought harrison was a bit like him, but turns out hes a bit of a miserable bore in my opinion, n i dont see why people are calling him cool n that, hes really quite boring in this interview, i was surprised as well.
@Brady2k10 I think it's cool that he isn't some stupid puppet entertainer cracking jokes and long pointless stories. He's a professional actor and is serious about his roles and I respect him for that.
also the smartest emotional IQ I have ever seen...listen to how much he realizes this is ONE vision of the future, he even uses the word futurist, which is not a well known word, in thesense he uses it...we need more like him...
What a fucking epic time to be him - Indiana Jones, then Blade Runner, followed by Return of the Jedi, all within what 3 or 4 years? Amazing times for him
@OrionCinemas Yep! I think that's just his personality .. I understand he got the Han Solo part by being his usual miserable git self when reading lines with the prospective actors. Lucas liked how he sounded and gave him the role instead of the others who came for the part (like Kurt Russell)
Love how he just stood up and walked off, instead of doing the BS of leaning over and and pretending to talk to the host! Harrison Ford = business. Harrison Ford = awesome!
Ford has always hated the media machine promoting movies. In his early days he barely could stomach it, nowadays, he tolerates and endures because he finally realizes what must be done.
sure, blade runner is more interesting on an intellectual and artistic level...but star wars is fantastic as well. i'd rate blade runner higher...but there's a reason star wars is such a classic.
This is great because it's at a time before Harrison Ford became HARRISON FORD. He had some Star Wars behind him and Raiders, but he hadn't yet reached his icon status. In fact, Dave hadn't reached his icon status either. Classic.
Harrison looked high as fuck.... U saw the way he dipped outta there? Like he couldn't wait 2 hit a line or summ'n!... I think he's more of a weed smoker tho, being that he frequents Jamaica!
Raiders of The Lost Ark is still one of my all time favorite action movies! They should have shown a better clip of Blade Runner with some dialog from Harrison. Harrison does seem uncomfortable in the interview, but what can you do? He's alright in my book.
What the hell? That was the most random Blade Runner clip. They should have showed the scene where Ford's character is eating Chinese food on the street and gets interrupted by that guy who is looking for him.
And is Ford antisocial or what? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
he's always been like that in interviews, kind of aloof and seemingly uncomfortable. I think part of it is legitimate and part of it is just a role that he plays into, sometimes it seems pretty serious but I think its just his version of really wry humor. I think he really does hate interviews/publicity of any kind though, he's a pretty normal, reserved person and never really liked the whole fame/Hollywood scene
He seemed extremely well relaxed back then and easy to understand, unlike today where his voice has gotten a bit jaded over the years I guess it happens to all of us? lol
Rutger Hauers best work I think.. Blade Runner I mean :) And Harrison Ford is like Jack Nicholson in many aspects, mainly that he has one character so strong it is enough to carry most of his films effortlessly :D
Great diagnose, Doctor Eikinkloster! I think you'd love him with a fake smile on his face talking silly stories and pretending that he's having a wonderful time in a showman's company who reads dumb questions from a paper.
No, I don't either. I got you wrong. He is brilliant indeed. /By the way I intended to write 'telling' instead of 'talking' in my previous comment./ Cheers
@Eikinkloster He doesn't have autism you idiot. Letterman is a goofy asshole who likes embarrassing his guests to entertain his audience. Ford and Letterman are complete opposite in terms of personality which makes for an awkward interview. The fact that you don't see that might mean that YOU have autism?
damn, think about that. at time of interview he did empire and first indy very recently. blade runner came out later that week and jedi came out the following may!!! jesus what a shitload of great movies in such a short amount of time!!!
Blade Runner was the second best film he was in behind Starwars Empire Strikes Back. Aslo the two best science fiction films other then 2001 Space Odyssey.
Blade Runner was much better than the Empire Strikes Back. I don't mean to say "Empire Strikes Back" isn't a good film -- it's a GREAT film, close to the best of its category -- but it is in a different category from Blade Runner. Blade Runner is far more sophisticated, artistic, and meaningful.
totally agree with you on 1, 2, and 3! if u havent seen 'solyaris' you should see it. im talkin the soviet movie from the 1970s, not the crappy george clooney remake.
@CalgarSkull Probably the later, now that you bring it up. I know he did extras for the Blade Runner box set a few years ago, which kinda surprised me.
@CalgarSkull Yeah ; He came across as admirably frank about the production, too ; especially when talking about the infamous voice-over on the originally released cut (it was funny hearing a bemused Ford trying in earnest to deliver the lines in outtakes).
Harrison Ford seemed funny and aloof in this interview but he actually hates being in the limelight and likes to stay away from the public eye. He values his privacy because he knows how dangerous being in the public eye can be as many other actors can attest too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Harrison Ford always comes across as a pompous prick in interviews.........what is his fucking problem?
I'm so sick of these arrogant actors like Ford and Christian Bale........dont they realize they have a dream job making millions and not working very hard ???
yeah exactly I think Ford is the very opposite of pompous. Don't mistake his extreme shyness and failure to put on a phony hollywood smiley face in public for being arrogant. He is really nice to fans and goes out of his way to sign autographs. He is self deprecating and claims he is very limited as an actor and he is lucky to have had the career he's had and doesn't complain about the attention because he said it doesn't matter because he's lucky, he's just private and very shy.
Ford is notoriously shy and private. But, I've never seem his THIS uncomfortable. It's interesting to see him on Letterman now, and compare the differences in behavior
Ford has been a "dry" interview his whole career. He's shy and hates the Hollywood publicity stuff. I assume he had a Valium or a cocktail before this interview. He seems kinda high and slurry.
Ford enunciates like Carl Sagan.
