Apparently while shooting Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller-Bridge tried to out-prank each other during the production. I do have to say, Harrison Ford doesn’t seem like a prank type of guy! During a recent interview with EW, Waller-Bridge shared:
“From the moment we met, it was shitheads all round. We were taking the piss out of each other all the time, and having a lot of fun. The most extraordinary thing about working with Harrison is that you’re definitely at work — in that his work ethic is so on point, and his discipline is so extraordinary — but because he’s that specific and the foundation of the work is really strong, the rest of it can be really fun. There were a lot of pranks… lots of pranks.”
She then proceeded to recount a memorable prank that she played on Ford, which led him to tell her to “get the hell out of my trailer.” The prank involved using masks of the actors’ faces that were created for their stunt doubles to wear during filming. Waller-Bridge put on a mask of Ford’s face and hid in his trailer so that she could scare him. She said of Ford’s reaction:
“It scared the crap out of him, actually. Even though that ‘actually’ is only represented by him blinking three times and saying, ‘Get the hell out of my trailer.’”
The report then revealed that 20 minutes later, Ford returned the favor, “sneaking up on Waller-Bridge while wearing the mask of her face. He even took the time to tie his shirt into a little bow to match her character’s outfit. When asked about this later, Ford fittingly doesn’t divulge details, demurring, ‘I didn’t think of it as a ‘prank.’ But yes, I mean, we spent a lot of time fooling around.’”
Waller-Bridge plays Helena Shaw, the goddaughter of Indiana Jones in the movie. They team up in the story to locate and ancient device known as Archimedes Dial, which is believed to grant the power of time travel. Of course, they find themselves up against The Nazis, led by Mads Mikkelsen’s Jürgen Voller.
My question to all of you is, would you try to prank Harrison Ford?
