Indiana Jones star Harrison Ford is hitting out at the critics who claim he’s too old to play the swashbuckling archaeologist. The 65-year-old, who is playing the adventurer once again for the fourth time in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, is confident the film will be a hit, even with a senior citizen in the lead role. The Hollywood actor even insisted the film embraced the fact he and his character have aged 19 years since the last instalment, 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He says, "That’s one of the things I was most keen about. Just acknowledge the years, without reservation. What’s the big deal? The guys 18, 20 years older. So what? "Yeah, I’ve heard it: `Aaaaw, he’s older.’ Well s**t yes. And by the way? So are you… Take a look in the f***ing mirror!"Saturday, April 19, 2008
