Best known for her witty and fun roles in films and TV Series, Blake Lively is an entertaining personality just like her other half, Ryan Reynolds. The actress’ acting career has spanned decades, in which she has appeared in different films with several big names. Thanks to her exceptional acting chops and her versatility that has aided her to play different characters and staying relevant for all these years.
One of her most renowned films is The Age of Adaline, in which she works alongside several big names including Harrison Ford, which made Blake Lively immensely nervous. Even though she knew Ford on a personal level but she was completely empty when it comes to knowing about the action films that have made the 80-year-old star an icon in Hollywood, and she shared a hilarious incident when they met while shooting the 2015 film.
Blake Lively Recalls Her First Meeting With Harrison Ford
Blake Lively appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she says “It is a huge deal” to work alongside Harrison Ford. And she, soon acknowledges that she has not seen the Star Wars movies which made the actor so famous.
“He’s Indiana Jones. It’s a huge deal! I still haven’t seen ‘Star Wars’ … I know, I know. Stop, stop, I saw the one with Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen. Does that count?”
Blake Lively continues that she goes to dinner with Harrison Ford, and she was ecstatic to share that with the host and the guests present. However, the interaction gets worse, when Ryan Reynolds suggested her wife watch some of Ford’s old movies before the production of their film. Hence, she binge-watched the complete Indiana Jones series, and every word she spoke during the production of the film was related to Indiana Jones.
“I went to dinner with Harrison, I was so cool. He was the dude with the earring that was married to Calista Flockhart, which was awesome!”
“I thought, ‘OK, for the few weeks that we work together, I’m just not gonna say ‘Indiana Jones,’ and every other word was like, ‘Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones’ in my head.”
Blake Lively continued that after their first day of working together, she got the idea that the Blade Runner actor was dying to talk about his movies, even though they had known each other for quite a long time.
“And then I thought, ‘OK, at the end of the first day, it’s been long enough, it’s been a few hours. That’s kind of like three weeks, but different.’ So, I just thought he was just dying to talk to me about it for some reason. I just felt it. Even though he hasn’t talked about it in 30 years, I saw all three the night before, so he wanted to talk to me about it.”
The Shallows actor continued she was invited to take a ride home on Ford’s helicopter, where they would continue talking about his movies. But prior to that they were on the set of The Age of Adaline, where she was talking about some scenes from the Indiana Jones series, but the problem was that he did not find those scenes exciting.
“And he just like stared at me. And I just I kept talking to him and he wasn’t finding those scenes exciting, I thought maybe it just didn’t jog his memory.”
However, it led to an awkward moment, as she was “imploding in the corner” and the crew was gawking at her. However, the situation got worse as Ryan Reynolds suggested Lively start ignoring the actor so that she can recover from her failure.
“He must think that I have some sort of major disorder. The whole thing is, you gotta get invited [to the helicopter] again.You got the golden ticket taken away.”
She concluded by saying how Harrison Ford is possibly ignoring her, ever since they wrapped up the film, and she is quite sure that the actor is weirded out by her, trying to assess what’s going on.
“I think he’s avoiding me. I think this whole thing was just a ruse to avoid me. I think he’s just intimidated by me, that’s probably what’s happening. He watched all the ‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’ films and he’s like, ‘And then the scene with the jeans!’”
While this incident is funny, this incident is nothing because Leonardo DiCaprio had a disturbing incident with the actress which freaked him out.
Blake Lively’s Creepy Gift To Leonard DiCaprio
During an exclusive interview, Joshua Safran, the showrunner of Gossip Girl shared that the Green Lantern actress had sent images of a doll to Leonardo DiCaprio when they were dating.
“Blake was dating [DiCaprio] at the time, and she had this thing where she had a doll that she took photos of that she sent to Leo.”
While there are many more questionable images of things that partners send to each other, the horror movies which revolve around dolls have made people associate these toys with creepiness. While neither Leonardo DiCaprio nor Blake Lively has talked about this incident, it is quite possible that this incident had an intimate detail in their relationship.
The Age of Adaline can be streamed on Netflix.
