While Ford had one of the coolest fits, he hadquestions surrounding Indiana Jonesand his popular outfit. In a recent interview withGQ, the actor expressed his thoughts about his famous leather jacket and whip. “My questions were many. Why am I wearing a leather jacket in the jungle? Isn’t it hot here? Why am I carrying a whip? What am I going to do with a fucking whip? I’m going to whip people?” While Ford expressed his thoughts on his costume, he still went on to wear the iconic clothing. He even went as far as to staple his famous fedora to his head so it wouldn’t move while filming action scenes.

He wantedIndiana Jones 5to embrace his ageand properly bid farewell to his beloved character. “I wanted to make a film about the end of his life. I wanted to see all of the development of his personality that we’ve seen. And then I wanted to see him after the passage of 15 years that actually exists,” The sentimental actor continues. “I’ve changed. I’m not the young buck I once was. I’m an older man, and I would like the audience to appreciate that, in the context of his life, and to see what effect time has on a character.”
Box office hit or not,Ford is a phenomenal actorwho has been a part of many successful films. Even though he had some problems with his Indiana Jones costume, he got past it and brought his all to the popular film. After watching Indiana Jones, the jacket, hat, and whip made sense. The whip always had the extra extension that Ford needed to get out of the most difficult situations, and the jacket always served as armor, whether Jones was wearing it or protecting an artifact with it. Of course, his hat served the purpose of keeping the archeologist cool from the blaring sun. In the case of Harrison Ford vs. the costume, the costume proved to serve its purpose.
