The A-lister has starred in two of the most notable film franchises of all time — Lucasfilm, Ltd.’s Star Wars and Indiana Jones — cementing himself as a legend in the cinematic community.
In a recently resurfaced story from the set of Episode VII, it seems that the famously sarcastic star had it in for Isaac. One article shared:
Isaac said during filming at one point he could “feel” someone staring at him, and turned to find Harrison Ford staring intently at the back of his head. Once discovered, Ford reportedly pointed at Isaac’s hair and said, “wig.” When Isaac asked what he meant, Ford answered, “You’re wearing a wig.” After Isaac assured the Han Solo actor that it was his real hair, Ford looked at him with what Isaac called a mixture of “disdain and also impressed.”
The Moon Knight actor went on to share that, despite Ford’s seemingly good-natured “disdain” for him, he asked the Star Wars icon — a real-life pilot — for advice about playing Dameron. The aforementioned article shared that “Ford’s response sounds about as Harrison Ford as you get. Ford reportedly answered, ‘It’s fake, and it’s in space.'”
In a prior interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Golden Globe Award winner Isaac shared:
“…a large amount of the stuff that I got to do was with Carrie, which was amazing…I remember the first day of shooting was a scene with Carrie and it was still — you know, oftentimes, the first day, the filmmakers, everybody’s trying to get the tone and figure it out — and, I remember, it was a scene where I come to talk to her and she was very upset with me and she slaps me and Rian [Rian Johnson] kept doing it over and over…”
As for Ford’s and Isaac’s respective futures in the Star Wars universe, never say never. Although Isaac has expressed that he is done playing Dameron, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy has assured fans that various sequel trilogy characters will return.
Ford, for his part, is officially reprising his role as Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. in the as-yet-untitled Indiana Jones 5. The 79-year-old is also rumored to have inked a deal to return as Han Solo, but this has not been confirmed by Lucasfilm or The Walt Disney Company.
