“My questions…were many.”
, Harrison Ford recalled his initial confusion over the outfit he’d be expected to wear as Indiana Jones, back when Steven Spielberg’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark” was still in the development phase.
“It was presented to me as an aspect of character in the first film,” Ford said. “My questions about it were many. Why am I wearing a leather jacket in the jungle? Isn’t it hot here? Why am I carrying a whip? What am I going to do with a f—ing whip? I’m going to whip people?” That leather jacket, bullwhip and Indy’s pinch-front fedora would soon find a permanent place in Hollywood costume history — similar to the scars Ford sustained from stapling the hat to his head so it wouldn’t fly off during action scenes.Indiana Jones and the Dial of DestinyFord went on to wear all the pieces of the iconic costume throughout the franchise, most recently in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
“I wanted to make a film about the end of his life,” Ford told GQ. “I wanted to see all of the development of his personality that we’ve seen. And then I wanted to see him after the passage of the 15 years that actually exists between the last film that we did and this one.” “I’m an older man. I would like the audience to appreciate that in the context of his life, and to see what effect time has on the character,” he said.
