Harrison Ford has been called many things over the years -- great actor; charismatic performer and now you can add unfunny-stuck-up-snob! Let me explain...Ford has been out promoting his latest film Ender's Game and obviously the media is going to ask him about the bigger films he has coming up in his future. One of them happens to be THE EXPENDABLES 3. Back in the summer Sly asked Harrison to join the epic cast of EX3 and he happily accepted.
Now, when Ford is asked about working on the 3rd Expendables film he comes off as if it is all one big joke or that he just took the film for the money. The first response is likely to piss off Sly and the second response is likely to make his fans feel as if it's all about money for him when taking a project. Both responses are negative.
Take a look here:
And take a look Here
Ford should be proud to be apart of this film and working with his fellow action stars of whom he grew alongside in the 80's and 90's into the mega star he is today. You don't see guys like Mel or Arnold making all kinds of stupid jokes about being in the EXPENDABLES franchise or about taking it because they got a huge paycheck. Ford is said to be worth over 300 million dollars...as are Sly, Arnold and Mel. Working on this film or any film these days should be more than just about money for these guys. Shame on you HARRISON FORD!
Good post Andrew. You read my mind. I was about to write a piece on the same subject matter, I guess Ford's attitude got us all pissed....
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%. I have been saying this on SZ. He should be saying "I had an amazing time on EX3!", instead of lying that he had never met Stallone before. It's all a joke to him. He is embarrassing the EX franchise.....I expected more form Harrison Ford.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. Ford has got me really pissed with his piss-poor-attitude! He needs to show some respect and stop acting stupid all the time in his recent interviews! His jokes are unfunny!
ReplyDeleteits just Ford's sense of humour, he always does his
ReplyDeleteI am a huge expendables fan, but I don't get pissed of because of Harrison Ford, he has always been like that. Just take a look at his older interviews. funny or not, lets see how he does in ex3.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ford's stupid Star Wars and Indiana Jones "I can't say anything" joking is getting old.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much you all are overreacting here. That is classic Harrison Ford. He didn't embarrass anyone, and it's just his sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteIf anything, then Sly should be proud that Harrison Ford was a part of Ex 3. I love the cast of Ex 3, and the fact that Harrison Ford is.
Ford doesn't even belong in this franchise. The Expendables is for tough guys, Ford is a nice guy who likes to make stupid jokes in his interviews nothing more.
DeleteOverreacting? Ford isn't funny. He should be praising the cast and crew of EX3, not mocking the name of it. He is starting to become Bruce Willis, doing anything under the sun if the money is fat enough.
ReplyDeleteHe clearly makes it seem as if money drives him now! Sad!
ReplyDeleteHe is just being sarcastic, jeez it dosen't take anything for people these days to freak out.
ReplyDeleteFord is the new Bruce "Money" Willis.
ReplyDeleteFord's humour is dry as fuck - I thought the Leno clip was funny. Classic Ford.
ReplyDeleteThis is the classic Harrison Ford's humor... he never accept movies only for money, this is just his sense of humor
ReplyDeleteFord should learn to shut his yap unless he wants Sly to ring his door bell out of the blue and break his jaw when he opens the door!
ReplyDeleteMr Andrew, I think you need to relax and don't be so emotional. I remember this blog also bashed up Terry Crews back when EX2 was in production. Now it has Ford on it's radar. Ford is an amazing actor and you don't have to compare Ford to Bruce Willis. Bruce can't act now, he's lost his mojo and every movie he's in looks like he just slept walk. But Harrison Ford despite he talks sarcastically, he takes his work seriously and professionally. Ford will do wonders in EX3. He may talk a lot but he gets work done professionally.
ReplyDeleteMr. Anonymous, I'm not bashing Ford at all and if you read my piece I was fair all the way. How about this...lets leave it to the next interview Ford does and speaks about EX3!
ReplyDeleteRespect is everything and Respect must be TAUGHT!
