Harrison Ford chats to Barry Norman about his rise from obscure television actor to Hollywood superstar - an 'overnight success' story, that in fact took nearly 15 years.
He discusses acting in effects-laden blockbusters like Star Wars and Indiana Jones versus more dramatic roles like his current film, Witness. He claims that he will never make another Star Wars movie, and that the next Indiana Jones film - The Last Crusade - will likely be the last time he dons the iconic whip and fedora.
Originally broadcast 21 May, 1985.

A great interview. There is a kind of stillness and realness to these older interviews that has been lost in interviews of today.

they don't care about deep answers anymore, it's all about jimmy fallon fake laughing like an idiot, brain dead "jokes" and kimmel and colbert pushing their political agendas

The first time you see Harrison Ford being interviewed is a bit of a surprise as he appears to show little enthusiasm and is just super cool. At least you get the idea that he is probably being himself than acting all hyper to promote a movie. It must be difficult being the interviewer but I guess his reputation is well known.

Ford: "One more Indiana Jones." Also Ford, 40 years later: "The final Indiana Jones." (And I really liked this one, so haters not welcome.) Seriously though, this guy was king of the box office for 20+ years - 1977 to about 2000. One of the most spectacular runs of quality blockbuster films ever.

I think he was a cameraman at one time, late 60s , he was assistant filmaker on the road with The Doors at that time.

1985 - No more Star Wars. That chapter is finished. Just one more Indiana Jones. That's enough. 2022- I did another Blade Runner as well.

Blade Runner is one of the best films in history and noone mentions it per se in these 80s interviews with Harrison. That film was hugely underrated and misunderstood for a very long time.

Actually, IMO, that was Rutger Hauer's Movie, but yes Harrison Ford was the leading man, and fantastic as always in that Film.

He's a hard man to interview but telling him he gets overwhelmed by special effects was a bit awkward. The only person I've seen get a decent interview out of him is Graham Norton as Harrison seemed to enjoy the experience.

It's interesting that he felt an actual acting job would lead him nowhere as an actor and opted to do carpentry, which to me, I would also think would lead you nowhere in the acting world, but, if I'm not mistaken, it was him taking up carpentry that actually led him to where he is today. You just never know where your decisions will lead you.

@michalisterpandros6017 Жыл бұрын

He meant an uninteresting role in a television series. He feared that everyone would only start seeing him as “that guy from this series.” So he wouldn’t get offered interesting roles in movies.

Harrison is so spot on , people don’t go cinema to watch special effects, they go for human emotional connections with the characters they are watching . The last big budget movie to do that was Gladiator/ titanic . The rest are mostly special effects bonanzas

@anomalyinc3239 2 ай бұрын

the fact that people went to see Episode 1-3 on mass aswell as Avatar proves his statement too so I dunno wtf you're talking about the fact that people went to see those movies too proves his point, if it's just special effects the movie goes nowhere

Harrison Ford is completely right and I avoid movies that have an overwhelming amount of special effects for the exact reason Harrison Ford gave and so clearly explained.

A lot of actors would be offended by suggesting they were overwhelmed by action or effects when that's not what they meant. Ford clearly has his ego in check.

@@MrSimonmcc I see, I can barley remember him. I find him quite hard to interpret, as in, is he just asking or trying to jibe/snyde. I feel his point is Harrison is overrated and not good, but he doesn't quite say it. Don't think I would enjoy many of his interviews if he was always like that.

@alexandercummins 2 жыл бұрын

Many people today are used to the sycophantic interviewing styles of Jimmy Fallon, or James Corden and others like them. Its more about hero worship than an actual interview. Barry Norman asks sincere questions with no political motive's. I personally dont see a problem.

@haydnevans2978 2 жыл бұрын

@@alexandercummins yeah I'm not much a fan of Jimmy Fallon or James Corden, very phony. That's not to say I dislike them, but I wouldn't watch them, same as Barry Norman, I don't dislike him. Genuine intelligent objective questions are what we need. Norman is alluding to something, trying to say something but without asking it. I find that a bit rude, why didn't Norman just call out the elephant in the room and ask Harrison Ford himself if he thought he was overrated, instead of beating around the bush. That's fine, its good everyone has a different preference, its when people pretend to like things just to follow the crowd its a bad thing. Case in point would be your Jimmy Fallon and James Corden example. Good chat Sir.

Bring that famous must be a huge burden for him . However you can’t say you enjoy being an actor in blockbuster films and then turn around and say I don’t enjoy being a celebrity. They have always gone hand in hand. And anyway who actually enjoys working!? I don’t anyone who enjoys working?!? Is he nuts ?
