 While on a recent publicity campaign promoting the May release of 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' Harrison Ford sat down with the folks over at USA Today. Not only did he discuss the latest adventures of Dr. Jones, he also commented on another movie role he's famous for. Among the nuggets of information Mr. Ford shared with the paper is his belief that Han Solo was "Dumb as a stump!" He went on to say that "He's certainly got a good heart, but I think he's certainly a much less interesting character than Indiana Jones." If that has piqued your interest, click on over to read the entire interview. |
