There may be more of Harrison than you realize-several more in fact. I am a huge fan of Harrison Ford but there is no way you can diminish the fact that he is in his mid-sixties and that famous chin scar, suffered in a car crash on Laguna Canyon road way back in 1965, has been on-screen longer than many of us have been alive. There is a BBC article titled
I'm being Harrison Ford Today which chronicles a day in the life of a body double.
While body doubles are no secret, producers, stars and even the parent company bankrolling the production attempt to keep their presence quiet, preferring that the movie going public believe their favorite star actually leaped between tall buildings or survived other hazardous stunts. Local folks attached to Hollywood who have seen Harrison Ford lately will attest that there was a lot of movie magic done to attempt to shave off a dozen years to the calendar including hair-adds for his thinning top. Ford also underwent a rigorous weight and cardio training regimen prior to filming the latest installment of
Indiana Jones in order to rid himself of a budding case of Phil Mickelson man-boobs and an incipient old-man gut.
There is a good reason why Ford may be cutting back on the stunts. He ruined his back in the 1980's performing one in an
Indiana Jones movie and had to undergo disk surgery to repair the damage. As a result he is closer to 5' 11" than the 6' 1" height listed.*
How do I know all this? I could tell you but I would then have to shoot you.*
