Harrison Ford Is Open To Giving Piers Morgan A 'Left Hook'

Harrison Ford Is Open To Giving Piers Morgan A 'Left Hook'

Look out Piers...

Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling have been touring the world to promote the sci-fi reboot of Blade Runner 2049. The original star of the classic movie has revealed that he punched his co-star in the face during filming, saying he had faked about 99 punches until one of them accidentally landed.

Ford was asked by Good Morning Britain's Richard Arnold about whether he'd reprise his anchorman role from Morning Glory, but then the conversation took a very different turn.

Instead of just questioning Harrison about a follow up to the 2010 movie, Arnold says: "Obviously this being Good Morning Britain, we could do with you giving Piers Morgan a left hook once or twice."

To which the Star Wars actor replied: "The suggestion will not go unignored."

Piers Morgan has responded, saying: "Wow. Bring it on, Indiana."

People on social media appear excited at the idea of Morgan and Ford going toe to toe in a ring.

On Twitter, Heath Bilbrey said: "Two old codgers rolling around on the floor. Now that's entertainment."

While Mike added: "Mate, he'd smash you up like wet paper."

Harrison has elaborated to Yahoo Entertainment about how he managed to punch his co-star Ryan Gosling, saying: "I was acting pummeling, and in one particular moment, one brief moment, I accidentally punched him in the face, for which I immediately apologised, and have been apologising ever since."

However, Gosling hit back saying: "By apologising, you mean you pushed me out of the way and put your fist in the ice?"

For the rest of the interview with Arnold, Harrison appears to be in his trademark dry and grumpy attitude. He corrects his interviewer when he mentions the original Blade Runner was a sci-fi movie, saying: "Was it really science fiction? I mean in many ways it was futurism noir, is what it was, not science fiction because science fiction at the time was Star Trek."

Arnold puts his foot in it again when asking the veteran actor what attracted him to take on the role of Rick Deckard, with Harrison awkwardly looking towards Gosling, before saying: "Really? How dare you ask me that in public. They're great parts."

The film has only just been released, so it will be interesting to see whether audiences enjoy the reboot. The original was made on a budget of $28 million (£21m), whereas the new movie cost roughly five to six times that amount.
