Harrison Ford seems to have settled comfortably into his role as an elder Hollywood statesman, his once-handsome, now craggy face marinating nicely under 14 weeks' worth of stubble, and a far away look in his eyes that all but says, "I've paid my dues acting opposite everything from a giant slug puppet to Melanie Griffith. Now step aside as I proceed to get shitfaced in the lobby of this pointless awards ceremony." It's not hard to see, however, how unwitting security guards might mistake the screen legend emitting visible alcohol fumes for an area derelict looking for forty winks in the comfort of a noted television actress' luxury vehicle:
The 64-year-old actor was spotted by security guards having a sneaky nap on the back seat of the vehicle, which was parked on set while Calista was shooting her new TV show Brothers And Sisters.The two guards telephoned police to have the 'intruder' removed and went and got Calista to tell her what was happening.
A source said: "The guards told Calista some old guy had crawled into her car to go to sleep and that they'd called the cops to have him removed. Just as they were explaining the situation Harrison, looking dishevelled (sic), sat up and asked, 'What's all the commotion?'"
All confusion was quickly cleared up, and the actor was put at ease with a gentle stroke of his disoriented head and a reassuring, "Shhh.... Mommy's here. Go back to sleep, Harry." On the grand scale of his increasingly inconvenient fits of scotch-induced narcolepsy, this mishap was practically a cakewalk for Flockhart, and nowhere nearly as embarrassing as the time Ford passed out mid-sentence during a Firewall press junket, requiring the strength of four production assistants and a cameraman to pry his lifeless, dead weight off a pinned and anxious Mark Steines from Entertainment Tonight.
