When he was asked to be in Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m Fucking Ben Affleck\u201d video, in which he pulled up alongside them in a car and gave Jimmy a little wink and an air-kiss, when he showed up at the set he looked kind of put out. Kimmel was afraid he wasn\u2019t down with what they were asking. But he just said,\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t know, this wardrobe\u2026don\u2019t you have anything mesh<\/i>\u00a0that I could wear?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When he was filming \u201cWitness\u201d he rented a small farm from a friend of mine. At the end of the filming my friend went and checked out the property as usual. He noticed the barn door had been leveled so it no longer would swing open on it\u2019s own. Went into the house and saw the closets had been redone, in the kitchen the cabinets had been replaced and all the drawers now opened really well. Turns out that there were thousands of dollars of work and materials put into fixing up everything at the place.<\/p>\n

My friend called Ford and asked him how much he was asking for the work. Ford told him doing that kind of thing helped him relax and stay sane when he was filming. Would not take a dime. Plus he paid for a new water heater and got the sewage system cleaned out.<\/p>\n

And he paid rent to live there the entire time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Local Carpenter Stumbles Into Stardom, Worries This May Interfere With His Carpentry<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My step sister was driving through Wyoming once, near Ford\u2019s ranch. She stops for gas, and as she\u2019s filling up, this huge motorcycle roars in behind her, scared the pants off her. The rider, dressed in all black steps off, and she yells at him \u201cwho do you think you are blasting in here like that, you Darth Vader looking motherfucker?\u201d. He takes off the helmet, and it\u2019s Harrison Ford, and without missing a beat he says<\/p>\n

\u201cHey! I\u2019m not Darth Vader, I\u2019m Luke Skywalker\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From the co-production designer on The Force Awakens<\/i>, Darren Gilford:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Millennium Falcon was the first thing we were actually building. I had been in London and I came home back to L.A. for Christmas. So I go to Sports Chalet to do some last-minute shopping; I get there early, run to the back of the store, get what I need. I\u2019m coming back through the store, and I just happen to pass this person holding up a pair of ski pants, and it\u2019s Harrison Ford. I look at him, he looks at me and puts his head right down. I can tell he doesn\u2019t want to be bothered; I\u2019m sure from the look on my face he knew I knew who he was.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So I walk past him, and after about 10 feet I think, \u2018If there\u2019s ever a time to say hello to Harrison Ford, I\u2019m building the Millennium Falcon!\u2019 So I turn around very hesitantly and go, \u2018Harrison, I\u2019m sorry to bother you. I\u2019m co-production designer on the new Star Wars, I\u2019m just back from London, and I\u2019ve been building the Falcon.\u2019\u00a0A big smile came across his face, he put his hand out, and we had such a great conversation \u2014 he couldn\u2019t have been sweeter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As I\u2019m walking away, he goes, \u2018Darren!\u2019 and calls me back. He goes, \u2018The toggle switches.\u2019 I go, \u2018Toggle switches.\u2019 He goes, \u2018The toggle switches on the Falcon. When they built it the first time, they bought cheap toggle switches without any springs in them. Every time I threw a toggle switch, it fell back; it wouldn\u2019t hold. It drove me crazy. Please, make sure the toggle switches are fixed this time.\u2019 I go, \u2018No problem! I\u2019ll take care of it!\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

So months go by, I\u2019m back in London, we\u2019re getting close [to principal photography], and I get a phone call saying J.J.\u2019s headed down to check out the cockpit, and Harrison\u2019s with him. I run down there and I see J.J. in the passenger seat and Harrison in the pilot seat. They\u2019re just giddy; they\u2019re having so much fun. And then I see Harrison look up, and he just starts throwing all the toggle switches: boom, boom, boom, boom. [Laughs.] And I remember thinking, \u2018Phew, minor victory. Take solace in that and move on. Next task.\u2019 That\u2019s my favorite story.\u201d<\/p>\n
