HARRISON FORD TO CRACK WHIP AS INDY

Actor Harrison Ford is relishing his role as a hands-on dad as he gets ready to crack the whip in a fifth Indiana Jones film.
The 67-year-old star of Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger is taking a break after finishing work on two films and will take on the role of the dashing archaeologist and adventurer again next year.
“The story for the new Indiana Jones is in the process of taking form,” he said at the Deauville Film Festival in France, where he was receiving a career award.
“Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed what the fifth adventure be about, and George is actively at work.
“If the script is good, I'll be very happy to put the costume on again.”
In the meantime, he is happy concentrating on Liam, the eight-year-old son of fiancée Calista Flockhart, whom he has adopted, while she works on the television show Brothers and Sisters.
“I do the dishes and I make dinner,” he told the newspaper Le Figaro. “In the mornings I get my eight-year-old son, Liam, ready for school and then I pass the time flying around in my planes.
“You see, I do the same things as everyone else. My children are between eight and 42, and I'm also a grandfather.”
Ford, who has four adult children from two marriages, admits he does not work as often as he used to, but he is happy with that.
“I work less than I used to,” he went on. “I understand that. At 67 I have far fewer opportunities than when I was 45.
“But that's not a problem. I am relatively happy.
“I will act as long as people want me and have the patients to direct me. And it doesn't bother me to play the role of an old man rather than a young man.
“There are plenty of examples of actors who continued to work until their last breath. And that's my ambition.
Ford who will be seen in the drama Crowley and the comedy Morning Glory next year, also said he has no plans to try the other side of the camera.
He explained: “It's too hard, too long and doesn't pay enough. That sounds like a joke but it's true.
To be a good director is the hardest job in the world. I'm not patient enough and I don't want to be the boss.”
