Harrison Ford is one of the few original Star Wars actors who has done a very good job of avoiding being typecast as his ionic character. There is at least one other character, who albeit is fairly similar to Han Solo, but it is a different franchise, and Ford has made many appearances in many big movies, playing vastly different characters.
While his career has slowed down somewhat in recent years, Ford has kept busy in the world of acting and many other areas. This includes appearing in the Disney Star Wars films and even being cast to appear in a fifth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise, in which he is set to play the titular character - the film is set to be released sometime in 2022.
Ford is infamously secretive about his thoughts and his life, so it might be good for fans of his to learn some of the more interesting facts about his life. So let's go over a few things about Harrison Ford that everyone should know.
