Harrison Ford Got Ear Pierced After a "Drunken Lunch With Jimmy Buffett"
Monday April 21, 2008
 Jeff Vespa/WireImage.com What prompted Indiana Jones star Harrison Ford to get his ear pierced? "A semi-drunken lunch with [late 60 Minutes correspondent] Ed Bradley and Jimmy Buffett, who were both wearing rings," he tells Maxim of the 1997 decision. "Afterward," Ford said, "I walked down Madison Avenue till I found the first jewelry store that pierced ears." Ford's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits the big screen May 22. He said it wasn't tough stepping back into the role after nearly 20 years. "The costume still fit, which was encouraging," he told Reader's Digest. "And the character came back with the clothes. I think some trace of Indiana still resides in that leather jacket, hat, and whip." At 65, Ford has plenty of action off-screen as well, helping girlfriend Calista Flockhart, 43, raise her adopted son, Liam. (See Hollywood's most shocking age differences here.) Asked how Flockhart rates as a mother, he said she's "the best in the world. She's devoted herself to Liam and has done a really wonderful job raising him. I'm happy to now have a part of the job."

This is disgusting. Men who wear earrings are, well, I can't say it on here or the special interest patrol will nail me again. But you know what I mean. I can only hope that Harrison Ford is senile, because if he isn't, he's a pig.

I wore an earring for the shock effect back in '75 when I played in bands but now at 52 years of age I feel that it would look kinda silly. Harrison Ford at 65 years of age......lol, maybe he should get some tattoos while he's at it. I'm still looking forward to his next movie though.

Sadly, Ed Bradley died. I really liked and admired his style of journalism, too!

I think about 99% of Hollywood needs to grow up and get a real life. These people are so lost & needy. That's why you have all of these 40 - 60 something men dating/marrying women half their age. They are unfulfilled and think that newer, better, bigger will make them feel "happy". When it doesn't, they just move onto the next thing, still feeling empty & craving anything that will fill that void for even a second.

He's a great actor, but ditch the earring. It looks stupid on an old guy trying to look young. . .actually earrings on young guys look ridiculous too! A 65 year old with an earring is just plain NUTS.

I'm not a fan of the earring but I'm a huge Harrison Ford fan. I loved all 3 Indiana movies plus a bunch of others he starred in. Good for him for taking on this role, 65 is like the new 40. My dad is 67 and surfs and doesn't seem like he's a day over 40, you could never tell because he's young at heart. Can't wait until this new Indiana movie comes out!

I love Indiana Jones and 65 is really not that old unless your a lazy slob who doesn't take care of themself. My G-pa is 65 and he still mountain bikes and runs marathons. He also taught me how to mtn. climb and rapell.

It's true 12:48, he gets better with age. He's a lot better than most of those effeminate young "men" littering Hollywood these days (ie: Zac Efron, Pete Wentz). Wentz wears more eye makeup than I do, for Christ's sake.
