Harrison Ford is still a heartthrob at 80 years old.
The actor may be moving away from his famed role in the Indiana Jones movies, but some are still certain he retains his status. His recent visit to the Cannes Film Festival has led him to give the perfect response to a slightly off-color comment made by a journalist during the press conference to promote Indiana Jones.
After the woman in the festival's press area told her that he was “still very h-t” and was stunned to see him take his shirt off in the second scene of the film, she asked him how he kept fit and if he could ride a By now, you'd think Ford is used to this kind of adoration, but he seemed flabbergasted at first. After moving around a bit, the star leaned closer to his microphone and flashed a faint smile.
Let me tell you. Yes, I can ride a horse... if they let me. Thank you. I didn't mean to be cruel. I forgot everything until "Do you know how to ride a horse?"
After joking around a bit more, the actor thanked him again for the compliment and said that he feels blessed to have that body. This video, shared by Variety, has gone viral on the internet, prompting many people to share more compliments on Ford and how good he looks. In addition to the fact that he is always remembered for his comical way of responding in interviews and this time, he did it again, making more than one smile.
The reporter continued the compliments by praising one scene in particular from the new Indiana Jones movie:
We were surprised to see you take off your shirt in the second scene. You still have it.
Harrison Ford's appearance at Cannes has been quite exciting. On Thursday, May 18, he was moved at the premiere of the latest installment in the franchise, where the actor received a five-minute standing ovation at the end of the screening of the film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate. Before that, he had an awkward moment in the company of his wife Calista Flockhart, when they entered the room where the function was to take place.
Between applause, they realized that the name of the also actress was not on the chair next to his, but in the back row. This is because the organization of the French festival usually puts the entire film crew on location in the front row, and his loved ones and other guests in the back.
The actor also gave something to talk about when he was awarded an honorary Palme d'Or to celebrate his career. Ford was visibly moved and appreciated the recognition. There, he said that instead of "seeing death pass before his eyes", he felt that what he saw before his eyes was his life since the movies in which he had acted were remembered. after all, he started in 1966 with a couple of roles for which he received no credit, and over the next decade he began to develop into the movie star he is today, thanks to roles in films.
