Harrison Ford has had a long and convoluted history of dating and marriage. Back in 2002, Ford and his present wife Calista Flockhart started dating after meeting at the Golden Globes. The catch in the mix was that Robert Downey Jr. had once dated Calista Flockhart before leaving her due to some complications.
Having starred in the American show Ally McBeal, Robert Downey Jr. and Calista Flockhart were allegedly dating. In reports, Harrison Ford was offered the role to star alongside Robert Downey Jr in the 2005 movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The actor outrightly refused the offer while fans speculated that it was because of his then-girlfriend Calista Flockhart.
Harrison Ford Refused To Star Alongside Robert Downey Jr.
Calista Flockhart allegedly dated Robert Downey Jr while they were working on the sets of the American legal comedy-drama Ally McBeal. Downey Jr later was caught up in controversies due to his involvement with drugs.
Since the actor wasn’t able to appear in the show, his character was written off from the finale while the series went on to appear at the Golden Globes. The affair never came to pass again and Calista Flockhart went on to date Harrison Ford in 2002. After regaining consciousness and gaining sobriety, Robert Downey Jr starred in the 2005 movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
As per the reports, the role of Val Kilmer was originally offered to the Indiana Jones actor but Ford rejected the role for unknown reasons. Fans speculated that the actor rejected the role because he was not comfortable starring alongside the person who created problems for his then-girlfriend. The reason for this was never confirmed by the actor and Val Kilmer went on to star in the 2005 movie.
Harrison Ford Was Very Intimidating While Shooting Captain America 4
Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford are currently working on the upcoming MCU movie Captain America: Brave New World. With Mackie portraying the role of Sam Wilson aka the new Captain America and Harrison Ford portraying the role of General Thunderbolt Ross, Anthony Mackie was quite intimidated to act in front of Ford.
“The first day was so intimidating. I was so fu*king nervous I couldn’t remember my lines. He’s Harrison fu*king Ford. There is this aura about him. But he dispels that really quickly because he’s such a cool guy. He’s everything a movie star should be. He would say, ‘Let’s shoot this piece of sh*t.’ And everybody was like, ‘Yeah, let’s shoot this sh*t.’”
With Harrison Ford recently appearing in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the actor has once again found the spotlight for an iconic goodbye to one of his classic franchises. The movie is currently screening in theaters across the world.
