Harrison Ford on Actors He Was Intimidated By, Working as a Cook & Season Two of Shrinking

[@IMDBeast]

I swear, Harrison Ford has the most unique sense of humor out there and I love it!

[@redbarchetta8782]

It's a crime he never did a full out comedy, I bet he'd be another Cary Grant if he did.

[@hazbutler]

Listen to episode on Conan's podcast. It is comedy gold

[@davidallen346]

[@WeekendUpdate7]

Pretty incredible comedic timing.

[@kerryannehogg6009]

Reminds me of Jeff Goldblum. Eccentric.

[@darrencheong2231]

Harrison Ford strikes me as the type of guy where if you are friends with his kid and went to hang out at his home, when you first meet him, he scares the bejeezus out of you thinking he is really strict/fierce. Until he starts speaking to you/pranks you and you realize he's super fun and warm.

[@Fern635]

Perfect analogy 😂

[@carriemartin1301]

My dad acts exactly like him between his sense of humor and mannerisms. I know it's not on purpose, he's just always been that way. He tried so hard at scaring my 2 best friends away when we were younger, and to this day, they both still call him "dad." (Both of their birth fathers passed away when they were very young) Now he tells me that he loves them more and I was a stray he adopted. Lol. Which technically...is true. He is my sisters father but he has been Dad to me since the age of 1. He has a rough exterior that closely resembles the crypt keeper but has thee biggest soft goey heart underneath that he doesn't let just anyone see. I know I have a birth father out there but I have a Dad and he chose me.

I think he could've been drunk too. I've seen him on the Graham Norton Show where Graham allows his guests to drink during the interview and Harrison Ford acted just like this. Probably helps calm his nerves since he doesn't like doing interviews. It just seems to calm him down a little too much lol.

[@Steve-i9t]

Yes, Harrison has a unique sense of humor and timing, but he was struggling a little communicating -- he's 82, so it's OK.

I haven't thought of that experience in so many decades.
