From thisislondon, It appears no one is more excited about the upcoming release of the latest Indiana Jones installment than its leading man, Harrison Ford.
The greying actor was spotted carrying a stack of his own action figures - including a fedora-clad Mr Potato Head - while out in Los Angeles yesterday as he prepares to return to the big screen in his signature role for the first time in 19 years.
Harrison has again pulled on his his leather jacket and picked up his bullwhip for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which will premiere for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18.
The iconic character was last spotted on our screens riding off into the sunset in 1989's The Last Crusade, set in 1938, close to the start of the Second World War.
The new film is set at the height of the Cold War in 1957, meaning Ford's character has aged in real time.
Harrison has hit back at claims that at almost 66, he's too old to play an action hero.
He says: "I don't see him that way. He's involved in action, but it's kind of a fantasy adventure-come-action thing.
"I'm probably as fit, or possibly fitter than I was 18 or 20 years ago.
"Part of it is genetic, part of it is a willingness to work hard to keep myself in the best shape for an old f*rt.
He adds that his 7-year-old son Liam, whom he adopted with his wife Calista Flockhart, also keeps him feeling youthful.
"I don't pretend to be anything I am not age wise, but Liam keeps me feeling connected to this growing and maturing process which is so much fun."

That picture is a riot!
I know! Don't you just want to give him a hug? I imagine him patiently waiting in line at Toys R Us while a family with screaming children try to talk the checker into validating their outdated coupons. Then he finally gets to the register and the girl scans the toy, looks at him, looks at the toy again, looks at him and says "Wait a minute.. Aren't you..?"
Checker: Would you like a bag?
Harrison Ford: No thanks.
I'm still laughing about that dialogue, JSP!
HA! I'm just getting back to this now - too funny JSP! I may forgive you for all that Funky Bunch malarkey after all.
Oh, that's a Mr. Potato Head! I thought it was some kind of ape toy.
Well, good for him. Not sure I like the earring, though.
How is it that he still looks so hot at his age??? He is a walking advertisement for getting high every day all day.
