‘It was really hard on my family’
As per reports, Ford experienced an almost fatal accident in March 2015 while piloting a vintage World War 2 era plane in Santa Monica, California. He spoke about it to The Hollywood Reporter in February as he said, “I certainly don’t want to have to recover from that kind of accident again. It was really hard on my family and it was hard on me. I went back to flying.”
The ‘42’ actor added, “I know what happened. So that’s part of the reason [I went back]. There was a mechanical issue with the airplane I could not have known about or attended to in any way. So in the words of the great philosopher Jimmy Buffett: S**t happens.”
During the same interview, Ford also discussed Tom Cruise’s love for flying. He remarked, “I like Tom. We talk about flying. But he’s far deeper into physical acting than I ever was. I don’t mind running, jumping, falling down, rolling around on the floor with sweaty guys. Tom takes it to a whole new level that’s pretty amazing.”
‘I just want to shower this man with all my love’
The latest sighting of Ford came almost a week after he made attendance at the 95th Oscars and had a sweet reunion with his former ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’ co-star, Ke Huy Quan. Quan got the Best Supporting Actor award for ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ that night. The Sci-fi/Adventure was also honored for being the Best Picture.
Talking about the moment, the 51-year-old told Variety, “When he [Ford] opened that envelope and read the title, it made our win for the best picture even more special. And when I ran up onstage, I pointed at him and he pointed back at me and I gave him a hug. I just couldn’t help myself. I just want to shower this man with all my love. I gave Harrison Ford a big kiss on the cheek.”
