Helen Mirren shares how Harrison Ford's 2015 plane crash profoundly influenced his performance in '1923'.
Helen Mirren provided a compelling glimpse into Harrison Ford's emotional state while filming their scenes together for Taylor Sheridan's '1923.' Mirren recounted the first scene she shared with Ford, where his character, Jacob Dutton, lay gravely wounded after an ambush. Ford later confided in Mirren that the scene resonated deeply with his experience following a 2015 plane crash .
Mirren said, 'He's been carried into the kitchen, dying and covered in blood, and later Harrison did say to me, 'That was how I was after the accident.' I think, maybe, going through that experience just gave him a very different understanding of what it is to be a sentient human being.'This harrowing incident deeply affected Ford, leaving an indelible mark on his perspective. He has openly discussed the crash and its impact on his life, revealing that it profoundly shaped his portrayal of Jacob Dutton. Ford stated, 'When the scripts were coming, I was struck by how many major moments in my character's life had a substantial and not coincidental shadow of the same things in my life.' He further elaborated, 'He’s been carried into the kitchen, dying and covered in blood, and later Harrison did say to me, ‘That was how I was after the accident.’' Even recalling the scene brought up intense emotions, as Ford confessed, 'I watched a rehearsal with a stand-in being brought into the kitchen, and Helen coming in, sweeping everything off the counter, taking command.' Ford's 2015 plane crash, which resulted in head injuries, broken bones, and a scraped arm, serves as a poignant reminder of his vulnerability. Yet, he has emerged from this ordeal with an unwavering spirit, channeling his experiences into his acting. Ford's resilience shines through in his portrayal of Jacob Dutton, a man who faces unimaginable hardships but perseveres with unwavering determination. The '1923' prequel offers a captivating exploration of the Dutton family's struggles during the early 20th century, a period marked by the Spanish flu pandemic, the historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression. Both Mirren and Ford, drawn to the project's historical context and the vision of Taylor Sheridan, committed to the series before even reading a script. This testament to their faith in Sheridan's abilities underscores the profound impact they both felt from the project
