At this point, Hollywood icon Harrison Ford’s general disdain and disregard of the hugely popularStar Warsfranchise, of which he is a star, of course, is legendary. Having played the likes of Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Rick Deckard, and other beloved cinematic characters, Ford can pretty much get away with anything these days, even mistaking a fictional substance that you were entombed in for another very well-known fictional substance.
Despite his obvious and well-documented loathing of theStar Warsmovies,Harrison Fordwill forever be asked questions about them, if for no other reason than to see his hilarious reaction. The actor was asked about theStar Warsfranchise recently, and he gave a response that will surely be logged as one of his grumpiest and best.
Harrison Ford:…so I’m about to be frozen in kryptonite…
Reporter Jake Hamilton corrects the iconic actor, “Carbonite.” Harrison sighs deeply…
Harrison Ford: Kryptonite,Carbonite. I just work here.
As always, it is an immeasurable pleasure to watch Ford roll his eyes once again during a response about a galaxy far, far away. The question that was asked revolved around the iconic “I know” reply that Ford’s Han Solo gives Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia duringThe Empire Strikes Back.
Ford, bless his heart, is more than willing to give a respectable answer, but sadly mistakenly calls carbonite Kryptonite, which is, of course, irradiated pieces of Superman’s homeworld, prompting a correction from the interviewer. This leads to a sigh from the actor that is so intense you will no doubt feel it through your computer monitor, followed by anall-time great Harrison Ford reply.
Beautiful stuff. He clearly could not care any less about the differences between the two, and he wants everybody to know it.
The interview though gives us a second Harrison Ford gem, with the interviewer sneaking in a fan question from a very familiar face and fellowStar Warsactor.
“Hey @HamillHimself! As it turns out, YOU are the reason Harrison Ford is so cool! Thank you for the fun “fan question,” sir! Mr. Ford lit up when he realized it was from you!”
