Harrison Ford shows off his whip-cracking Indy skills

Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford proved there were no camera tricks involved in enhancing his whip-cracking skills in the new Indiana Jones movie – by giving a demonstration on live TV.

The 65-year-old reprises his role as the swashbuckling archaeologist in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, 19 years after the last big screen adventure.

And Ford showed he shares his character’s talents with a whip on breakfast show Good Morning America on Thursday.

With one crack of the whip, Ford catapulted a set of empty milk cartons with a single crack of his Indy whip – the same one he used in the movie.’

But Ford was humbled by his seamless stunt, revealing he needed a refresher course, almost two decades after he last picked up the weapon: “I was a bit out of practice, and fortunately we had (fight director) Anthony (Delongis).”

Harrison Ford refused to cover his grey hair for Indy role

Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford refused to dye his grey hair for the new Indiana Jones movie.

Filmmakers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas wanted him to cheat the ageing process by covering his silver streaks – but 65-year-old Ford fought them and won.

Ford says, “There was some early discussion about whether or not that would be a good idea. And I thought , ‘Why can’t Indiana Jones have grey hair? What’s the difference?’ And finally I did prevail. Look at (directors) George (Lucas) and Steven (Spielberg) – a bunch of grey-haired guys. It was their idea.”

Harrison Ford started acting by accident

Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford became a top Hollywood actor by accident – after taking up drama class by mistake.

The Indiana Jones star only took the subject to raise his grades, but admits he had no idea what acting actually entailed.

He says, “I did it because my grade averages in philosophy were precarious because of my in attendance and poor attitude to scholarship. I only took drama because I didn’t fully read the description of the class.

“I thought, ‘Drama, how hard could that be?’ If I knew you had to get up and act and be in plays I wouldn’t have done it. When I found out what it involved it scared the bejesus out of me.”

But Ford soon realized acting was for him: “Before drama I never could figure out what I might be useful at. Then I thought about making a living as an actor. You get to travel and live different lives and study different kinds of lives.”
