Ford’s still focused

Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones

With the fourth Indiana Jones movie about to premiere at Cannes (it’s released in the UK on 22 May), Harrison Ford seems to be back on top of his game. At 65, he wears the ageing action-hero mantle with more credibility than Sly or Arnie – thanks to his laconic approach to the iconic role.

After small parts in American Graffiti and The Conversation, Ford took off as the sardonic Han Solo in the first Stars Wars movie. Now a bankable star, he proved his effortless, slightly weary authority in hits like The Fugitive and Air Force One.

As Indy himself summed up his longevity in Raiders of the Lost Ark, “It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.”
