@@copywrite9120 Far from a shtick in 1982. This is clearly a guy who’s supremely uncomfortable with fame and Hollywood BS. I think it became shtick as he got older and leaned into his grumpy old man persona, but back then, this was genuine discomfort.
I love this, this is why Letterman was known as the "Anti-talk show", he had no problem with awkwardness, he knew the absurdity of interviewing uninterested actors about movies they were plugging, he played with it, and it was no wonder that Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, Robert de Niro, even Madonna, celebrities who were infamously difficult to interview, still visited Letterman in the later years.
They went on because he had a big audience, and often their producers or distributors contracted them to do so. Period. They suffered him. The man is a tool.
I find Harrison Ford massively refreshing because it just seems that he answered questions in interviews, etc, on his terms… and he’s still doing that today.
I am NOT a flag-waver by light years distance but it was a Brazilian (Playboy bunny!) who interviewed him best (that I have seen). He was releasing (the excellent) Patriot Games. Her name is Bruna Lombardi.
I met Harrison Ford at the LA Film Festival back in 2006. He was so very charming. I was standing on a chair so I could see the panelists -- on the side so I wouldn't be blocking anyone's view. When he came down from the podium and walked by me, he held out his arm so I could hold onto him and step down safely. What a gentleman! A thrill of a lifetime. God bless him.
An old retired carpenter that helped my family with a project knew Harrison Ford down in LA when he was a carpenter. They worked on at least one or two projects together.

@@1981lashlarue Indeed, you are correct. David indeed brought up the subject of money, and Harrison showed no objections until the subject of lunchboxes arose. Curiously, at that point, he abruptly declined to engage in further discussions concerning finances, despite the preceding conversation regarding his weekly earnings of $150 as an actor.
@@JRMiracleman $150 weekly IN THE PAST. He wasn't talking at all about his current earnings. Which is where he drew the line, of getting into his current personal finances on a talk show. That's what he meant by "let's not talk about money". Not the brightest spark, are you?
I have never seen an interview with Ford in which he doesn't appear either awkward, uncomfortable uninterested. He has been consistent with this for years and it's what makes him fascinating to watch.
Like he said, he'd rather be home. Mr. Letterman probably shouldn't have asked him about money, though. It seems Mr. Ford entertained that line of questioning longer than he could have.
He is simply not a fan of going on talk shows. Though he clearly minds some hosts more than others, so... it's good to see him at least able to tolerate Letterman here. I think he generally had fun trolling Conan a bit as well, IIRC.
@@Jay_J He's guarded. Some of those behaviors are simply to slow things down and give him a couple seconds to control the pace and direction they are going in. And he's drier than the Sahara.
The beginning of a 30+ year friendship. These two shared a silly, dry, sarcastic relationship and Ford quickly became one of my favorite Letterman guests. Don't forget, Harrison Ford can be a very awkward guest when he's on a show he doesn't want to be on, but he always brought the goods on Letterman.
You can see an inkling of that awkwardness here. Letterman was very unsure whether Harrison was joking or being very serious half the time....he's almost scared of him.
@@blucat4 they were talking about getting a % from the toys, probably that went 100% to george lucas back then. Also, they are both millionaires at that time, why talk about money? do letterman want to tells how much is he doing? why bother, they are there to entertain people, not show off money.
Met Harrison just one time at a local Italian restaurant in Manhattan. I frequented the place with clients and usually had a table in the back but this one day I was dining alone and sat at the bar. I remember ordering a glass of Chardonnay and getting some baked clams oreganata followed by a delicious tortellini Carbonara. I never engaged Harrison because I was in the Television business at that time and felt it was unprofessional to approach talent as they were constantly bothered by fans and harassed by paparazzi. Harrison was at the end of the bar two stools away from me I believe eating a bowl of minestrone. The next thing I hear him say, you really seem to be enjoying those clams. I laughed and told him that they were great but that I came here trying to avoid fans and wanted to be left alone to enjoy my food and he laughed. He obviously got the joke and smiled. He left first, we waved and I never saw him in person again. He had a very quiet demeanor about him and seemed very nice. I truly would have liked to have spoken to him at length but just wanted to give him his space.
If you forget for a while the fact that he's Harrison Ford and my hero since the age of 7, it's quite refreshing to see someone so uncommercial as a person who seems almost disrespectul of the industry be so endlessly succesful.
From one Carpenter to another, he has that laid back coolness that if it all ended tomorrow he could make a very comfortable living off his highly skilled Carpentry knowledge.
@@monolithgeometry3221 LOL right. I don't see an 80 year old Harrison Ford with more than a 100 million dollars in his mattress ever falling back on carpentry, no matter what happens to the world.
@horace sheffield There are? I seriously doubt they do it for a living. I'm 81, have been a woodworker for over 50 years and would like to build a workshop, but my knees, back and joints would make it impossible. My grandpa was a carpenter all his life and worked at it part time till he was 75. You will find there's a great difference between 75 and 81. When I was 74, I was still cutting firewood to heat my house.
Not towards Harrison as much as toward his own studio staff and execs, who don’t give a damn about being genuine they just want laughs and their profit margin, no risk or rocking the boat.
I remember is trashman accused of flipping him the bird from his window in Connecticut . It Was in some paper and Letterman had him on denying and the Trashman said know Iam pretty you were flipping me.
My Grandmother met him while walking along the canal (England) about 18 years ago. He was on vacation, she had no idea who he was until my uncle told her later haha. She was telling him about some of the good bargain restaurants he could find in the area.
Haha that was probably my grandad taking a barge through the Norfolk Broads. He was a cross between Harrison Ford and Timothy Dalton in his younger years, so I'd imagine he could literally be mistaken for the big man himself. He even literally lives in a building similar to Rick Decard in Bladerunner 2049
I did not realize how funny Harrison Ford was in person. He has Dave gently laughing most of the way through the interview. Harrison is so understated and hilarious at 5:50.
There's an element of Letterman just cracking up at how detached and disassociated Harrison Ford is from Hollywood and stardom, in spite of being the biggest star around.
"Hopefully it's engaging and stimulating and full of wonderful ideas" - here we are almost 40 years later, looking back at one of the best sci-fi movies ever made.
You got that right. Only I wouldn't confine it to one of the best sci-fi films; the thing is one of the great films, period. It's also the only film I can think of where a director's cut took it from 'good' to a masterpiece. Most others are just sorta more stuff.
I think this is the first interview I've seen where he has talked as much as he did! He's introducing Blade Runner and, at that time, had no idea it would one day be considered one of the most beautifully made science-fiction films ever made. It literally changed how we saw science-fiction. Very cool interview and I think Dave realized he wasn't talking to your typical actor.
@@carlodave9 I no part of Blade Runner is explicitly said by any character that "Deckard is a replicant". It's up to the viewer's interpretation. I know there's a scene where Gaff leaves a unicorn paper in Deckard's department after Deckard has dreamt about a unicorn. "Implants" you will tell me. Well, not for me. My own interpretation is that Deckard dreamt by mere chance with a unicorn, not that those were implants. Incredible coincidence that Gaff made a figure of a unicorn in his house just after Deckard dreamt with a unicorn, but a coincidence anyway according to my own interpretation. Now you will tell me, "Why did Deckard nodded when he took the unicorn figure in the final scene? Doesn't it mean he's acknowledging he's a replicant?" According to my interpretation, Deckard merely nodded because he knew Gaff had been there, not because he understood he was a replicant. In the minute 23 of the movie, there's a scene where Graff let a paper figure in a house and Deckard sees it, so he knows Gaff tends to leave paper figures whenever he goes. So Deckard nodded acknowledging Gaff had been there. Nothing else. If Ridley Scott wanted Deckard to be a replicant 100% sure, he should have made any character say he's a replicant. Because no one says it thoghout the movie, whether Deckard is indeed a replicant its still debatable and dedends on the viewer's interpretation.
i love that he's not crazy well spoken, super charismatic, outgoing etc. he's just sort of dry, doesn't have much to say, quite mundane and normal. i honestly love it to death, makes me love him even more
Lmao whole interview, his face expressions are priceless, I love how letterman handles guest where the interview goes in the wrong direction, bless u Harvey Picard for helping letterman maneuver interviews like this
i wouldn't say it went in the wrong direction just that Dave was wanting a certain reaction from him and then when he didn't get it he spoke about Harrison not enjoying talk shows to which Harrison remained completely cool, confident, honest, and unbothered which meant that Dave had to try and actually interview him
@@frankytanky5076 That's consistent with the aforementioned hypothetical persona and calculated image he and his team may have decided on a long time ago. Things are very often not as they seem. But, who knows? Certainly not you.
His first interview with Dave. Thanks so much for uploading this! I always marvel at how -- for someone so taciturn and laconic -- Ford has some marvelous facial expressions. Those are some of his tricks of the trade, in fact, and he uses a lot of them here -- haha.
Agreed. He has quite the unique facial antics and charismatic style with a bit of cockiness which he immediately underplayed after showing it....to keep in the good graces of the audience. Quite a devilish, sneaky way about him. I recall him saying in another interview decades ago that when he was poor and trying to get any local job possible in the early 1960's to feed himself and young family that he would go to a pizza place and tell the owner, " Pizza is my LIFE...I want to work here for long time and learn the trade and then some time far in the future leave and open my own pizza shop." The owner would hire him and 3 weeks later he'd quit because he found something else that paid a little more. He said, " I've always had the ability to get people to trust me.". So, he sure went into the right career, acting.
It always gets you thinking like Letterman mentioned, what an iconic movie role or character would be like with a different actor. I couldn't imagine raiders of the lost arc with anybody else but Harrison Ford. Especially from a comedic standpoint. I couldn't imagine the humor that Harrison portrayed in Indiana Jones with a personality like Tom Selleck. Some actors like Harrison have a natural knack for being spontaneously funny or humorous, as hes showing in this interview.
Tom Selleck is an excellent comedic actor. He could have easily pulled off Indy and the character wouldn't have been very different at all. Watch some old Magnum episodes and just watch his expressions. Selleck is hilarious. Just check out him, Big Show Paul Wight and Dr. Ruth on Conan.
Whenever the guy in Raiders brings out the sword and starts posturing with it, and Indy just stands there unamused and shoots him with his pistol was comedy gold.
I wouldn’t want to be a bad interviewer and get Harrison as a guest. He would absolutely shred them. Dave handled this interview really well. I love Harrison, but I’d be terrified to talk to him like this.
Like some actors, Ford is a rather reserved guy, letting it all out on the screen. I just binge-watched the Harrison, Fisher, and Hamil interviews, so interesting to see how different they were when younger, how their personalities developed. I see that Hamil was beyond his years, so self-assured, well-spoken, and assertive, while Fisher and Harrison took a little time to develop the same. I love watching these old Lettermen videos. Great stuff.
Today, this film is exactly 40 years from the year that it was released and we still have no indistinguishable replicants, flying cars or at the very least, a giant Geisha advertising candy on the side of a building! Sadly, Harrison Ford was also wrong about Star Wars "concluding itself". I think that made me sadder than the lack of replicants and giant Geishas!
Maybe there are indistinguishable replicants out there, but we just don't know about them. Thank God there are no flying cars and hopefully never will be.
it dont think the premise and surroundings of bladerunner were Harrison's "idea" that usually goes to the screen writers and production team. so i dont think he was wrong at all. you are projecting that you think Harrison had anything to with bladerunner other than playing the lead. which would be false
Crooked Hillary was resurrected as a replicant. As this vid shows, they had to work out a few kinks on the replicant's 1st day ua-cam.com/video/m5wWZIFZraw/v-deo.html
In reference to the title Harrison Ford didn't like talking about anything. He was forced into promoting his latest movies by the production company. I always thought it strange that someone would go into acting who was uncomfortable talking about things that were not scripted.
"Let's not talk about money", he says following that with the unblinking cold stare of an assassin. "OK then". Ford resumes the goofy smiling face cause he's a nice guy. Well played, Letterman. I wouldn't want to make Ford unhappy either.
What a classic interview, one of the best I’d ever seen on Letterman. Harrison was just as funny as David, especially when he reacts to Letterman’s question about Blade Runner. “ It’s no musical comedy, David.”😆 Harrison couldn’t have said that any better, with his own hilarious style of conversing. Those typical, facial expressions and mannerisms have always been amusing. And David was especially amused.
Pretty much every interview i've seen ever seems like he is hating doing it because its a not about him, its about a character he's portraying on film so why not just have Steven Spielberg in his place and discuss his character? I think he actually finds the entire role of movie star off set extremely inconvenient, intrusive and detached from reality. I think he puts a lot of effort into rejecting the Hollywood movie star mold, while putting up barriers to his personal life on purpose to stay true to himself. Its not by coincidence that he lives in Montana and not LA.
@@jefffaller8474 Dude, are you a psycho? You have basically posted this same statement over and over and over and over on this thread. WTF? Get a life bro.
Letterman is so completely out of his depth talking about Bladerunner, and Ford is so gentle in smartly educating him, it's quite impressive to watch. His response to "Is it amusing?" is a masterpiece of exuding patience in front of a dim kid.
Part of the genius of Letterman is asking earnest and innocent questions that even a kid could understand and still creating interviews worth watching, in part due to his kindness and respect for guests. When the guests identify his generosity they often open up, as Ford did.
@@Lucky-df8uz Letterman seemed to lose that kindness and respect over his run as a talk show host. On CBS he didn't seem to give two figs and was almost as disinterested as Harrison here.
@@harveydodd8803 “It might be an amusing title” does refer to the reaction of the public, and then he tries to sound smart by adding “but it’s not an amusing film, is it?” He hasn’t read the story or seen the movie, and it shows. Then Ford has to be the smartest guy in the room by explaining that a movie can be stimulating and engaging without being “amusing” as such. Letterman asks a lot of obvious questions or makes very dull observations. When Letterman says “Raiders with Tom Selleck would have been a very different movie, wouldn’t it?”, Ford pretends to think very hard about that, his way of rolling his eyes. You can feel that Letterman is uncomfortable being lightly made fun of by Ford. At least, that’s my take on it.
Need to mentions Harrison Ford’s beautiful smooth speaking voice, an important part of his whole attractive package. Has been in so many great movies, not only action movies- including Witness , the Fugitive, He deserves a Kennedy Center Honor NOW!
I don't think he would ever show up for an award that's based on him portraying something he's not. Some people genuinely don't care about another persons general view of their work, so what's the point? I can understand that thinking, but its definitely different in Hollywood where staying in the spotlight is important for so many. I have no doubt that his occupation on set seriously, but I don't think he defines himself by his work. There's a reason he lives in Northern Montana as far away from fake, pretentious and ostentatious L.A. as possible.
"Best actors ever..." Ummm...probably not even in the ball park, and I don't think that he even cares, which is fine with me. However, I love his films, his characters are timeless, and speak to me through enjoyable adventurous story telling. I find his interviews almost always awkward, like he not only would rather be somewhere else, but that he finds it weird that you find him interesting solely based on his portrayal of other people. When they say "you don't want to meet your hero's" that would be the danger of meeting Harrison Ford to me in an interview scenario. I think he's probably a genuinely likeable person that I'd want to share a scotch with and talk about aviation, but he has to put up barriers to keep his true self protected because of who people think he is. I have no doubt people actually think he's Hans Solo and Indiana Jones in real life, and that's very disturbing to him which is understandable. There's alot of reasons he chooses to live in Montana instead of LA.
@@GEN_X_ just for my own understanding what criteria are you using for "best actor" since you seem so sure of yourself; popularity or bankable box office revenue? Is that your criteria cupcake. He's typecast, like a lot of American actors, and good at those roles.
I will always appreciate that Harrison is no bullshitter. He seemed so uncomfortable when money was brought up. Obviously he's paid well for his career, that doesn't mean he wants to brag about the specifics of it
Harrison Ford is an actor in the purest sense. He loves acting and he IS a superb actor. However you can tell he’s not interested in the media circus involved in being a successful actor. Imagine doing thousands of these interviews and almost everyone of them falls back to the same old questions about Han Solo, Star Wars and Indiana Jones. You’d be pissed off about it too. I think that’s why he chooses to be awkward to at least make THEM work for their answers rather than jumping through hoops for them. To Harrison all these interviews etc are just a necessary evil.
I always loved seeing the new Harrison Ford blockbusters coming out in the 90s. He was always elusive on the interview scene though. The thing you have to remember is he just considers being an actor a job. For him it’s just the way he makes a living and it isn’t something special to him. He’s just an old school actor. Normally these interviews involve a bunch of laughing and the guest tells a humorous relatable story then promotes their movie. Ford just answers the questions and likes to keep his personal life out of it. The man is also amazingly well dressed.
In 3 years he starred in 2 Star Wars movies and Indiana Jones, and he's announcing Blade Runner and Return of the Jedi. That's some crazy shit.
All classic films. Incredible!
He didn't realize those films would iconic to American film.

Like he said, he'd rather be home. Mr. Letterman probably shouldn't have asked him about money, though. It seems Mr. Ford entertained that line of questioning longer than he could have.
@@nolanmerchan5095 Letterman knew in advance that it was a no-go area. He was trying to bounce Ford into it - pleased that Ford stood his ground.
He is simply not a fan of going on talk shows. Though he clearly minds some hosts more than others, so... it's good to see him at least able to tolerate Letterman here. I think he generally had fun trolling Conan a bit as well, IIRC.
@@Jay_J He's guarded. Some of those behaviors are simply to slow things down and give him a couple seconds to control the pace and direction they are going in. And he's drier than the Sahara.
The beginning of a 30+ year friendship. These two shared a silly, dry, sarcastic relationship and Ford quickly became one of my favorite Letterman guests.
Don't forget, Harrison Ford can be a very awkward guest when he's on a show he doesn't want to be on, but he always brought the goods on Letterman.
You can see an inkling of that awkwardness here. Letterman was very unsure whether Harrison was joking or being very serious half the time....he's almost scared of him.
@@philiphudgens4726 I am unsure. Was he joking? What was with the not talk about money line?
@@blucat4 they were talking about getting a % from the toys, probably that went 100% to george lucas back then. Also, they are both millionaires at that time, why talk about money? do letterman want to tells how much is he doing? why bother, they are there to entertain people, not show off money.
@@blucat4 it’s called being sarcastic
@@omensoffate I was referring to the second question about money, at 3:13, which was not sarcasm.
Met Harrison just one time at a local Italian restaurant in Manhattan. I frequented the place with clients and usually had a table in the back but this one day I was dining alone and sat at the bar. I remember ordering a glass of Chardonnay and getting some baked clams oreganata followed by a delicious tortellini Carbonara. I never engaged Harrison because I was in the Television business at that time and felt it was unprofessional to approach talent as they were constantly bothered by fans and harassed by paparazzi. Harrison was at the end of the bar two stools away from me I believe eating a bowl of minestrone. The next thing I hear him say, you really seem to be enjoying those clams. I laughed and told him that they were great but that I came here trying to avoid fans and wanted to be left alone to enjoy my food and he laughed. He obviously got the joke and smiled. He left first, we waved and I never saw him in person again. He had a very quiet demeanor about him and seemed very nice. I truly would have liked to have spoken to him at length but just wanted to give him his space.
In what year was this?
@@gabrielswayze4506 MId 1990's...........
Damn you really brought your a game that day, that joke is very funny.
I was 2 days old when this interview aired and now I'm 40, the same age Harrison is here. Time flies.
Time is an illusion
If you forget for a while the fact that he's Harrison Ford and my hero since the age of 7, it's quite refreshing to see someone so uncommercial as a person who seems almost disrespectul of the industry be so endlessly succesful.
Thanks for your continuous love and support❤️ . Where are you from and how long have you been a fan of mine?
@@OriginalHarrisonFord lol
@@OriginalHarrisonFordthe real Harrison ford wouldn’t give a damn about a UA-cam comment 😂
From one Carpenter to another, he has that laid back coolness that if it all ended tomorrow he could make a very comfortable living off his highly skilled Carpentry knowledge.
Don't forget, he's 80 years old, a bit old for an occupation like that.
"If it all ended today .." he would probably just fall back on the gigantic pile of money he has in his treasure room
@@monolithgeometry3221 LOL right. I don't see an 80 year old Harrison Ford with more than a 100 million dollars in his mattress ever falling back on carpentry, no matter what happens to the world.
@@DirtFlyer Try $300 mil+.
@horace sheffield There are? I seriously doubt they do it for a living. I'm 81, have been a woodworker for over 50 years and would like to build a workshop, but my knees, back and joints would make it impossible. My grandpa was a carpenter all his life and worked at it part time till he was 75. You will find there's a great difference between 75 and 81. When I was 74, I was still cutting firewood to heat my house.
Prime example of Dave flipping the bird at 6:33. He was known do this toward his production staff when he felt something wasn't going well.
I rewound and watched it!
Was "the bird" an expression of a sentiment that Dave was feeling for Harrison?
Not towards Harrison as much as toward his own studio staff and execs, who don’t give a damn about being genuine they just want laughs and their profit margin, no risk or rocking the boat.
I remember is trashman accused of flipping him the bird from his window in Connecticut . It Was in some paper and Letterman had him on denying and the Trashman said know Iam pretty you were flipping me.
My Grandmother met him while walking along the canal (England) about 18 years ago. He was on vacation, she had no idea who he was until my uncle told her later haha. She was telling him about some of the good bargain restaurants he could find in the area.
Wow that's funny.
He seems like the type of chap that would have seeked it out after talking with her lol
Haha that was probably my grandad taking a barge through the Norfolk Broads. He was a cross between Harrison Ford and Timothy Dalton in his younger years, so I'd imagine he could literally be mistaken for the big man himself. He even literally lives in a building similar to Rick Decard in Bladerunner 2049
His facial reactions are hilarious. This is a great interview.
I did not realize how funny Harrison Ford was in person. He has Dave gently laughing most of the way through the interview. Harrison is so understated and hilarious at 5:50.
It's all eyes
Need water. It's dry in here.
There's an element of Letterman just cracking up at how detached and disassociated Harrison Ford is from Hollywood and stardom, in spite of being the biggest star around.
@@poleag unless he is just acting. Playing the part of a guy who doesn't care.
@@christopherwalker6056 he wasn't faking it, at least in the beginning of his career...
I am digging deep into the archives tonight. Wow to that interview. Never saw it. Can't say I would watch it again...but, I love Harrison Ford.
"Hopefully it's engaging and stimulating and full of wonderful ideas" - here we are almost 40 years later, looking back at one of the best sci-fi movies ever made.
You got that right. Only I wouldn't confine it to one of the best sci-fi films; the thing is one of the great films, period. It's also the only film I can think of where a director's cut took it from 'good' to a masterpiece. Most others are just sorta more stuff.
I think this is the first interview I've seen where he has talked as much as he did! He's introducing Blade Runner and, at that time, had no idea it would one day be considered one of the most beautifully made science-fiction films ever made. It literally changed how we saw science-fiction.
Very cool interview and I think Dave realized he wasn't talking to your typical actor.
The director's cuts helped. I couldn't believe how much better it became with the narration gone and Decker made more clearly a droid.
@@carlodave9 I've never seen the edited version. Perhaps I should. I saw it when it first came out in the theatre.
@@carlodave9 I no part of Blade Runner is explicitly said by any character that "Deckard is a replicant". It's up to the viewer's interpretation. I know there's a scene where Gaff leaves a unicorn paper in Deckard's department after Deckard has dreamt about a unicorn. "Implants" you will tell me. Well, not for me. My own interpretation is that Deckard dreamt by mere chance with a unicorn, not that those were implants. Incredible coincidence that Gaff made a figure of a unicorn in his house just after Deckard dreamt with a unicorn, but a coincidence anyway according to my own interpretation. Now you will tell me, "Why did Deckard nodded when he took the unicorn figure in the final scene? Doesn't it mean he's acknowledging he's a replicant?" According to my interpretation, Deckard merely nodded because he knew Gaff had been there, not because he understood he was a replicant. In the minute 23 of the movie, there's a scene where Graff let a paper figure in a house and Deckard sees it, so he knows Gaff tends to leave paper figures whenever he goes. So Deckard nodded acknowledging Gaff had been there. Nothing else.
If Ridley Scott wanted Deckard to be a replicant 100% sure, he should have made any character say he's a replicant. Because no one says it thoghout the movie, whether Deckard is indeed a replicant its still debatable and dedends on the viewer's interpretation.
Sounds like someone’s in denial lol
@@r3b3lvegan89 Hm??
"The story concludes itself in the third chapter." He's not the only one that wishes that was still true
We all assumed Lucas would move on and not spend his entire life on it
Lucas is a loser that sold out to Mickey Mouse & now they churn out the movies like pretzels. Sickening.
@@jennajobasiaz5559 a loser ? Really? He changed the way movies are made and became a pioneer in science fiction ! Perhaps you are the loser?
@@MrOctober44 did you? Some of us new when Empire came out that Lucas planned to do a prequel trilogy. Because he said he would at the time.
It’s weird how he phrased it. Kind of wonder what he was thinking there. Like perhaps he suspected it would eventually be revisited.
i love that he's not crazy well spoken, super charismatic, outgoing etc. he's just sort of dry, doesn't have much to say, quite mundane and normal. i honestly love it to death, makes me love him even more
I can't believe how despite the silliness, Letterman's interviews seem toweringly intellectual compared to today's talk shows.
Man, what a run: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Blade Runner!
@@Woozlewuzzleable We will, and most do.
Don't forget the fugitive on video cd
Blade Runner was a box office bomb at the time though.
Lmao whole interview, his face expressions are priceless, I love how letterman handles guest where the interview goes in the wrong direction, bless u Harvey Picard for helping letterman maneuver interviews like this
Pekar, and yes, very true.
i wouldn't say it went in the wrong direction just that Dave was wanting a certain reaction from him and then when he didn't get it he spoke about Harrison not enjoying talk shows to which Harrison remained completely cool, confident, honest, and unbothered which meant that Dave had to try and actually interview him
@@lucamolta yup

@@monkeyattackedmyass5435 Nope, he pretty much avoids almost all interviews and loves his privacy.
@@frankytanky5076 That's consistent with the aforementioned hypothetical persona and calculated image he and his team may have decided on a long time ago. Things are very often not as they seem. But, who knows? Certainly not you.
His first interview with Dave. Thanks so much for uploading this! I always marvel at how -- for someone so taciturn and laconic -- Ford has some marvelous facial expressions. Those are some of his tricks of the trade, in fact, and he uses a lot of them here -- haha.
Agreed. He has quite the unique facial antics and charismatic style with a bit of cockiness which he immediately underplayed after showing it....to keep in the good graces of the audience. Quite a devilish, sneaky way about him. I recall him saying in another interview decades ago that when he was poor and trying to get any local job possible in the early 1960's to feed himself and young family that he would go to a pizza place and tell the owner, " Pizza is my LIFE...I want to work here for long time and learn the trade and then some time far in the future leave and open my own pizza shop." The owner would hire him and 3 weeks later he'd quit because he found something else that paid a little more. He said, " I've always had the ability to get people to trust me.". So, he sure went into the right career, acting.
Harrison is so tense when he’s listening:) so funny. As if he’s listening to an interpreter and solving a math problem at the same time 😂
"How do things seem to be, 40 years from now?"
"...it's no musical comedy, David"
LOL
An excellent description of Blade Runner.
@@jjryan1352 I would pay to see a musical made of Blade Runner
And this interview took place in 1982, exactly 40 years ago. 🤯
An excellent description of our world right now. It's not the cool dystopia , its the grey slab one.@@jjryan1352
I think that’s the best description of Blade Runner I’ve ever heard: ‘Well, it’s no musical comedy, David’
1982, Harrison Ford says his movie takes place 40 years into the future and “is not a musical comedy”
2022, he was right lol

@@GT-wo2oj do you mean the real way to spell it, genieuous?
He is famous for being really hard to interview
Letterman looks tired & was a horrible interviewer early in his career
@@johnnyguitar6639 Harrison?
My favourite interview of Mr. Harrison Ford
The look Harrison Ford gives him after he tells Dave not to talk about money as he uncomfortably laughs is the best.
He HANDLED Letterman. Refused to be pressed into answers. Well done, Harrison. Charming, sharp, stoic.
It always gets you thinking like Letterman mentioned, what an iconic movie role or character would be like with a different actor. I couldn't imagine raiders of the lost arc with anybody else but Harrison Ford. Especially from a comedic standpoint. I couldn't imagine the humor that Harrison portrayed in Indiana Jones with a personality like Tom Selleck. Some actors like Harrison have a natural knack for being spontaneously funny or humorous, as hes showing in this interview.
Tom Selleck is an excellent comedic actor. He could have easily pulled off Indy and the character wouldn't have been very different at all. Watch some old Magnum episodes and just watch his expressions. Selleck is hilarious. Just check out him, Big Show Paul Wight and Dr. Ruth on Conan.
@@Falcun21 Selleck had two problems:. he was to nice and too handsome. It would've been a very different film.
Whenever the guy in Raiders brings out the sword and starts posturing with it, and Indy just stands there unamused and shoots him with his pistol was comedy gold.
Ford has the personality of a dead donkey, wouldn't have been hard to surpass him
Fascinating character
How do things seem to be 40 years from now?"
"It's no musical comedy David."
You got that right Harrison. 7:40
One of the best actors. I love watching Harrison Ford.
A man of incredible confidence. Effortlessly owns the room.
Why is this interview so rewatchable
I wouldn’t want to be a bad interviewer and get Harrison as a guest. He would absolutely shred them. Dave handled this interview really well. I love Harrison, but I’d be terrified to talk to him like this.
Like some actors, Ford is a rather reserved guy, letting it all out on the screen. I just binge-watched the Harrison, Fisher, and Hamil interviews, so interesting to see how different they were when younger, how their personalities developed. I see that Hamil was beyond his years, so self-assured, well-spoken, and assertive, while Fisher and Harrison took a little time to develop the same. I love watching these old Lettermen videos. Great stuff.
Thanks for your continuous love and support❤️ . Where are you from and how long have you been a fan of mine?
@@OriginalHarrisonFord Rrrrriiiiiggggghhhht.
Comes across as both a precise and laconic speaker. Very interesting interview.
This was a fantastic interview. I never knew Harrison Ford was so intelligent and quick.
Realizing that this is an interview for Blade runner is incredible.
It was my favorite flick for many years, only replaced later by The Matrix.
Imagine all the synth nerds out there, quietly sobbing. (FWIW, Blade Runner's soundtrack is considered a landmark of electronic music)
@@PETERJOHN101 sorry but the Matrix is not at the same level in my opinion and not only in my opinion. Anyway if you like it more it's ok.
@@PETERJOHN101 I love both but there is no comparison, Blade Runner is my favourite all time movie.
From carpenter to the stars. What an acting career!
Can't believe this is the first interview I've seen of his. Loved it
Such a classic interview
Today, this film is exactly 40 years from the year that it was released and we still have no indistinguishable replicants, flying cars or at the very least, a giant Geisha advertising candy on the side of a building! Sadly, Harrison Ford was also wrong about Star Wars "concluding itself". I think that made me sadder than the lack of replicants and giant Geishas!
Maybe there are indistinguishable replicants out there, but we just don't know about them. Thank God there are no flying cars and hopefully never will be.
it dont think the premise and surroundings of bladerunner were Harrison's "idea" that usually goes to the screen writers and production team. so i dont think he was wrong at all. you are projecting that you think Harrison had anything to with bladerunner other than playing the lead. which would be false
Obama has a replicant that was put before the public, the video of this was soon after removed.
@@PETERJOHN101 I have the video.
Crooked Hillary was resurrected as a replicant. As this vid shows, they had to work out a few kinks on the replicant's 1st day
ua-cam.com/video/m5wWZIFZraw/v-deo.html
so wild watching this and then hearing letterman ask ford, whats it like 40 yrs in the future??? wow here we are, 42 years later.
In reference to the title Harrison Ford didn't like talking about anything. He was forced into promoting his latest movies by the production company.
I always thought it strange that someone would go into acting who was uncomfortable talking about things that were not scripted.
He was joking.
"the story concludes itself in its third chapter" very true
“The story concludes itself in the third chapter” LOL
It actually did. The rest of it was contrived much later, after the fact.
They should have stopped after the second chapter.
He is a fascinating & humble ma
N! As always !
"Let's not talk about money", he says following that with the unblinking cold stare of an assassin.
"OK then".
Ford resumes the goofy smiling face cause he's a nice guy.
Well played, Letterman. I wouldn't want to make Ford unhappy either.
What a classic interview, one of the best I’d ever seen on Letterman. Harrison was just as funny as David, especially when he reacts to Letterman’s question about Blade Runner. “ It’s no musical comedy, David.”😆 Harrison couldn’t have said that any better, with his own hilarious style of conversing. Those typical, facial expressions and mannerisms have always been amusing. And David was especially amused.
Harrison Ford in this interview is acting like he's being interrogated by Vader in empire. Lol
Pretty much every interview i've seen ever seems like he is hating doing it because its a not about him, its about a character he's portraying on film so why not just have Steven Spielberg in his place and discuss his character? I think he actually finds the entire role of movie star off set extremely inconvenient, intrusive and detached from reality. I think he puts a lot of effort into rejecting the Hollywood movie star mold, while putting up barriers to his personal life on purpose to stay true to himself. Its not by coincidence that he lives in Montana and not LA.
@@jefffaller8474 Dude, are you a psycho? You have basically posted this same statement over and over and over and over on this thread. WTF? Get a life bro.
That casual flip-off feom David Letterman was golden. I bet you was thinking that all the time (min 6:35)
Letterman is so completely out of his depth talking about Bladerunner, and Ford is so gentle in smartly educating him, it's quite impressive to watch. His response to "Is it amusing?" is a masterpiece of exuding patience in front of a dim kid.
Part of the genius of Letterman is asking earnest and innocent questions that even a kid could understand and still creating interviews worth watching, in part due to his kindness and respect for guests. When the guests identify his generosity they often open up, as Ford did.
Yes, and it is not called the Blade Runner, Dave. The movie is Bladerunner.
@@Lucky-df8uz Letterman seemed to lose that kindness and respect over his run as a talk show host. On CBS he didn't seem to give two figs and was almost as disinterested as Harrison here.
The audience started to laugh. That’s why he made that comment.
@@harveydodd8803 “It might be an amusing title” does refer to the reaction of the public, and then he tries to sound smart by adding “but it’s not an amusing film, is it?”
He hasn’t read the story or seen the movie, and it shows. Then Ford has to be the smartest guy in the room by explaining that a movie can be stimulating and engaging without being “amusing” as such.
Letterman asks a lot of obvious questions or makes very dull observations. When Letterman says “Raiders with Tom Selleck would have been a very different movie, wouldn’t it?”, Ford pretends to think very hard about that, his way of rolling his eyes. You can feel that Letterman is uncomfortable being lightly made fun of by Ford.
At least, that’s my take on it.
Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Rick Deckard: 3 of the most iconic film characters this dude has played in my generation. This is a great find. 👍👍
Richard Kimble 🙏
His shyness is his charm
He's handsome, that's why. If he was an ugly short guy, he would just be considered creepy, strange, weird, obnoxious, etc. etc.
Wow. Amazing to see Dave thrown off interviewing Harrison! After watching this, I watched a later interview and Dave was clearly in his element.
Need to mentions Harrison Ford’s beautiful smooth speaking voice, an important part of his whole attractive package. Has been in so many great movies, not only action movies- including Witness , the Fugitive, He deserves a Kennedy Center Honor NOW!
I don't think he would ever show up for an award that's based on him portraying something he's not. Some people genuinely don't care about another persons general view of their work, so what's the point? I can understand that thinking, but its definitely different in Hollywood where staying in the spotlight is important for so many. I have no doubt that his occupation on set seriously, but I don't think he defines himself by his work. There's a reason he lives in Northern Montana as far away from fake, pretentious and ostentatious L.A. as possible.
@@jefffaller8474 He lives in LA, and lived in New York City for 10 years. His ranch is in Jackson Hole, Wyoming since he designed it back in 1985-86.
A rare movie legend who has created not just one but two true movie icons in Han Solo and Indiana Jones. A tough interviewee though!
I think Harrison Ford enjoys acting, but detests the media part of it.
"I know that feeling".
Letterman brilliantly responding to Harrison Ford saying he would rather be home.
One of the best actors ever.
"Best actors ever..." Ummm...probably not even in the ball park, and I don't think that he even cares, which is fine with me. However, I love his films, his characters are timeless, and speak to me through enjoyable adventurous story telling. I find his interviews almost always awkward, like he not only would rather be somewhere else, but that he finds it weird that you find him interesting solely based on his portrayal of other people. When they say "you don't want to meet your hero's" that would be the danger of meeting Harrison Ford to me in an interview scenario. I think he's probably a genuinely likeable person that I'd want to share a scotch with and talk about aviation, but he has to put up barriers to keep his true self protected because of who people think he is. I have no doubt people actually think he's Hans Solo and Indiana Jones in real life, and that's very disturbing to him which is understandable. There's alot of reasons he chooses to live in Montana instead of LA.
@@jefffaller8474 Uhm...he lives in LA most of the time. And his ranch is not in Montana. It's in Wyoming.
@@philosopher0076 thanks for the clarification-Wyoming, big difference no income tax.
@@GEN_X_ just for my own understanding what criteria are you using for "best actor" since you seem so sure of yourself; popularity or bankable box office revenue? Is that your criteria cupcake. He's typecast, like a lot of American actors, and good at those roles.

really a fascinating interview, because of Harrison. They just don't make them like that anymore.
Bruh, dude's so anxious and effortlessly funny, I love it
Harrison Ford is pure class.
I will always appreciate that Harrison is no bullshitter. He seemed so uncomfortable when money was brought up. Obviously he's paid well for his career, that doesn't mean he wants to brag about the specifics of it
Thanks for your continuous love and support❤️ . Where are you from and how long have you been a fan of mine?
This man gives zero fks what anyone thinks of him. I actually like him more in real life than in his movies. Authentic, humble, brutally honest.
Adored it. Love this man.There is an expression I begin to admire the overuse of by this generation: 'respect'. Very little I may add to that.

@@InternationalBassStation Thank you very much. Please feel free to borrow 😃👍
This may be my favorite reaction ever 4:46
I get the impression that the actor making the movie is usually not the first choice, and the movie turns out great.
Oh what gem of an interview to come across 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️
Harrison Ford is an actor in the purest sense. He loves acting and he IS a superb actor. However you can tell he’s not interested in the media circus involved in being a successful actor.
Imagine doing thousands of these interviews and almost everyone of them falls back to the same old questions about Han Solo, Star Wars and Indiana Jones. You’d be pissed off about it too. I think that’s why he chooses to be awkward to at least make THEM work for their answers rather than jumping through hoops for them.
To Harrison all these interviews etc are just a necessary evil.
Hey tube" again 5 secs max for ads. You revolutionize the industry. Just dont forget when you do.
"The story concludes itself in this third chapter."
Until a greedy unscrupulous company came along and milked the dreams of others childhoods for profit and ruin.
@@1ManNamedDan you mean george lucas?
I always loved seeing the new Harrison Ford blockbusters coming out in the 90s. He was always elusive on the interview scene though.
The thing you have to remember is he just considers being an actor a job. For him it’s just the way he makes a living and it isn’t something special to him. He’s just an old school actor.
Normally these interviews involve a bunch of laughing and the guest tells a humorous relatable story then promotes their movie. Ford just answers the questions and likes to keep his personal life out of it.
The man is also amazingly well dressed.
