Actor Harrison Ford welled up reflecting on his years playing the iconic, whip-wielding archaeologist Indiana Jones, after the Cannes premiere of the franchise's latest instalment ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’ Cannes2023
CANNES, May 19 - Harrison Ford teared up on Friday as he recalled his years playing Indiana Jones, after"I love to work and I love this character and I love what it brought into my life," he told journalists at the festival.He was speaking a day after receiving an honorary award at the film extravaganza for his cinema career.
The new film, "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny", pits the adventurous archaeologist against a former Nazi scientist, played by Mads Mikkelsen, who is searching for a dial that makes it possible to travel through time."There's magic here and it comes from the collaboration, from the knit of everybody's ambition," Ford said, his voice breaking as he reflected on working with the Dial of Destiny cast. "I've never seen actors give as much to each other.
The film opens at the end of the Second World War with a younger-looking Ford, a feat of artificial intelligence technology that uses old footage to create a de-aged version of his face. "I know that is my face, that it is not some PhotoShop magic. That's what I looked like 35 years ago because Lucasfilm has every frame of film that we made together over all these year," Ford said.Ford, who first played Indiana Jones in 1981, told Total Film magazine last month that he would hang up the character's iconic bull whip and hat for good after this film, which will be released to wider audiences in late June.
