Harrison Ford was said to be in an extreme fitness regime to reprise his role as 'Indiana Jones' after 18 years, insists that he's fit enough to do his own stunt.
Harrison Ford has embarked on an extreme fitness regime for the new Indiana
Jones film.
The 64-year-old is making every effort to get in shape to reprise his role
as the adventuring archaeologist, 18 years after his last outing.
A source close to the actor is quoted as saying: "He's been furiously
working out on the treadmills at a Los Angeles gym for about three hours a
day to get in shape.
"He's on a strict high protein diet. He's eating lots of fish and
vegetables. It's hard but he's already looking great for it. He wants to
make sure Indiana is as tough as he always was."
Shortly after announcing he was to make a fourth film with director Steven
Spielberg and producer George Lucas, Harrison insisted he was fit enough to
perform his own stunts.
He said: "We need to move on for artistic reasons and obvious physical
reasons but I feel fit to continue and bring the same physical action."
Harrison was also adamant he got to wield Indiana's famous whip.
Bosses wanted the weapon to be computer generated because of new film safety
rules, but the actor branded the rule "ridiculous".
