Harrison Ford's Grumpiest Moments

The geniuses atLate Night with Conan O'BrienThe geniuses at Late Night with Conan O'Brien put together a super-cut of every time Harrison Ford pointed angrily. Ford liked it.

During a panel forEnder’s GameIn 2013, a fan asked, “If Han Solo and Indiana Jones met, what would they say?” Chris Hardwick saw the fan was risky. He tried to stop him, saying, “I want to stop you right there.” But then he agreed, “Okay, just do it. I want to know, too.”

Ford gave his grumpy look and said sarcastically, “Hi. How are you?” Then he shrugged and shook his head.

A second fan jumped up after that. He asked, “I used to pretend to be Indiana Jones as a kid [...] Do you think Han Solo would be a good soldier for [Colonel Graff's] army?” Ford replied, “You and I share much. I used to dream of being Indiana Jones when I was younger, too. Not as much now. I don't think Han Solo would serve well in anyone's army. I think he's what we call an independent contractor.”

In an interview with AV Club’s Tasha Robinson to promoteExtraordinary MeasuresFord denied being difficult. Robinson asked, “You have a reputation for hating publicity interviews. Does having that out front help?”

Ford answered, “I didn't know I had that reputation. I don't mind answering thoughtful questions. But I'm not thrilled answering questions like, ‘If you were mugged with a lightsaber in one pocket and a whip in the other, which would you use?’”

WhenIndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullWhen Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull got mixed reviews, Shia LaBeouf apologized for "dropping the ball." He then claimed Ford agreed; the film could have been better.

The film earned over $800 million. Ford called LaBeouf a "f*cking idiot" in interviews for speaking poorly of the movie.

“I think he was a f*cking idiot. As an actor, I feel I must support the film without making a complete a** of myself. Shia is ambitious, attentive, and talented—he is learning how to handle a situation that is very unique and tough.”

In an interview with John Hiscock fromMirrorEverything went well until Ford faced a question about theStar Warsreboot. “No”Star Warsquestions,” he insisted, likely to avoid trouble for revealing any inside scoops.

Ford then smiled to signal they shared the joke. “I'm a kinder, gentler, Harrison Ford than I was,” he grinned. “Am I grumpy? I might be. But maybe sometimes it gets misunderstood. I've always been an independent son of a b*tch, so if I'm grumpy, call me grumpy. I'm fine with that.”

When Adam Sternbergh asked about updating to the next-best gadget, Ford answered like his grandpa would:

“Me? No. I hate it when they change stuff. I was a guy who made lists on scraps of paper and stuffed them into my pocket; I’d still be happier with that life, where you weren’t always available to get mail or answer calls. I don’t need it, I don’t want it, and I’m stuck with it.”

Letterman complimentedFord signed autographs outside before the show.

Ford said, “You had a camera outside when I arrived. The audience will see me, and if I don’t go over there, they will think, ‘What kind of a [long pause], what kind of a guy wouldn’t go over there. There’s a little boy over there. He’s a sweet little… he’s a 45-year-old man in a boy suit. Those people are not fans. Those people are merchants. Autograph merchants. They’re making an incredible living off of you and me.”

Letterman did not think they made money from him, but Ford insisted.

Letterman asked, “So you’re saying, Harrison, that if the camera hadn’t been there, you wouldn’t have signed those autographs?”

Ford replied, “Yeah.”

Gomez asked Ford if this character was more unique than any of his other film roles. Gomez said, “Ford looked me in the eyes as if I’d just asked,”Who is Jackie Robinson?Robinson asked, ‘Pardon me?’ before finally stopping his silence.

Ford said, “I think I understand the character and connect with him because his personality isn't beyond my grasp. I'd rather the film describe his personality than I tell you what he is like.”

“Your life will change; you will get used to it. You will be happy and delighted, and employed, and then you’ll wonder ‘What the hell happened?’ sometimes. An actor's natural state is to watch life around them, and now you must figure out how to do that when everyone looks at you.”
