Indiana Jones star Harrison Ford allegedly suffered an injury while filming a fighting scene for the new movie.
While rehearsing for an action-packed Indiana Jones 5 scene, the 78-year-old Hollywood star reportedly injured himself – his shoulder in particular.
As the reports have suggested, the filming schedule for the latest installment of the popular franchise will have to be “reconfigured” due to the injury.
As of this writing, the extent of the injury is still unknown whereas Ford will likely be forced to take a break from filming for the time being.
“In the course of rehearsing for a fight scene, Harrison Ford sustained an injury involving his shoulder,” an insider from Disney told Deadline.
“Production will continue while the appropriate course of treatment is evaluated, and the filming schedule will be reconfigured as needed in the coming weeks.”
While the severity of the injury remains unclear, we hope that Ford will make a full recovery as he did not long ago after getting crushed on the set for The Force Awakens back in 2014.
At that time, Ford was pinned to the ground by a massive hydraulic door. As a result, the actor suffered a dislocated ankle, a broken fibula, and a broken tibia.
Following the injury, the movie’s production company, Pinewood Studios, was fined $2 million for the incident that could have cost the actor his life.
While Ford may no longer be in his prime years, he is said to have taken up a challenging fitness regime in preparation for the shooting of Indiana Jones 5.
“It’s incredible. He seems to live a very strict routine. You can set your watch by the things he does at the same time every day. Regimented,” an insider said of the actor’s daily routine in an interview with The Mirror.
“It’s clockwork, very regimented. It’s wake up, lunch, a very long bike ride, then he’s at the film set from 6pm.
“He then arrives back at the hotel around 5am. That exercise and work regime would be punishment for a man half his age. It’s real dedication.”
