Harrison Ford Remembers His ‘Indiana Jones’ Dad Sean Connery
Harrison Ford paid tribute to Sean Connery, a.k.a. Henry Jones Sr. in the “Indiana Jones” series, who died on Saturday at the age of 90.
“He was my father…not in life…but in ‘Indy 3,'” Ford said in a statement to Variety. “You don’t know pleasure until someone pays you to take Sean Connery for a ride in the side car of a Russian motorcycle bouncing along a bumpy, twisty mountain trail and getting to watch him squirm. God, we had fun — if he’s in heaven, I hope they have golf courses. Rest in peace, dear friend.”
Connery played Ford’s father in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” in 1989.
George Lucas, who created the “Indiana Jones” franchise, also honored Connery, writing in a statement, “Sir Sean Connery, through his talent and drive, left an indelible mark in cinematic history. His audiences spanned generations, each with favorite roles he played.
