After I consider Harrison Ford, it’s arduous not to consider the Indiana Jones films and the Star Wars franchise. That’s true for a lot of as nicely, as Indy and Han Solo are two characters who’ve grow to be legendary. It seems the actor’s co-stars really feel that method too, as Darren Mann – who performed Jack Dutton in 1923 reverse Ford’s Jacob Dutton – advised me a narrative behind the primary time he met Harrison Ford that entails none aside from Indiana Jones.
Whereas we’ve recognized and liked Harrison Ford for his movies for many years, lately, he’s been making a splash on TV. Particularly, he starred within the Yellowstone prequel 1923 – which simply wrapped up its run on the 2025 TV schedule – as Jacob Dutton. So, you can say he traded in Indy’s fedora for a cowboy hat.
To that time, once I requested Darren Mann concerning the Yellowstone present’s cowboy hats throughout an interview for Season 2 of 1923, he introduced up the story of the primary time he met Ford, telling me:
My hat story is simply I bear in mind going into the wardrobe becoming in Montana, and that was the primary time I acquired to satisfy Harrison as I used to be attempting on totally different hats for our unbelievable costume wardrobe designer Janie [Bryant] – she took nice care of us, at all times had the most effective outfits. We had been attempting on hats, after which I hear [makes knocking noise] like a fast double knock, after which the door flings open. And I swear I used to be watching, just like the traditional Indiana Jones entrance, like he simply wanted the whip.
I would actually be so starstruck if this occurred. I can think about Harrison Ford swiftly pushing the door open and strolling by means of it in a traditional wide-brimmed hat; it’s very Indiana Jones of him.
It seems that Darren Mann was in awe, too. He advised me that as he was attempting on cowboy hats, the Shrinking star was being playful and asking him about which hat appeared the most effective. Total, the Jack Dutton actor felt like he was standing proper subsequent to Indiana Jones…as a result of, nicely, he was:
And he had tried on this hat, and he is like, ‘Oh, hey child, how’s this hat?’ He was attempting on hats, and I used to be identical to, ‘Oh shit, that is Indiana Jones. He simply blew within the door there. I’ve seen that. I’ve seen him try this.’
After that, I geeked out a bit over this wonderful story and advised Mann how huge a fan I’m of Ford. He agreed, telling me that he loves his co-star, and when this occurred to him, he didn’t truly say something again. He simply appeared ahead along with his jaw dropped.
This story about Harrison Ford being fairly humorous and easily legendary matches proper in with different tales from the set of 1923. Together with Mann being a fan whereas working with him, Brandon Sklenar couldn’t assist however take into consideration how cool it was, too. The Spencer Dutton actor acquired to stroll out of a burning constructing subsequent to his iconic co-star, and he advised me it felt like he was in an epic motion film like Die Arduous, John Wick, or, dare I say, Indiana Jones.
Total, Darren Mann’s story about Harrison Ford was so endearing, and it feels like they’d a grand previous time enjoying cowboys collectively.
Now, when you’d wish to see these two of their cowboy hats and defending the Dutton ranch collectively, you’ll be able to stream each seasons of 1923 in full with a Paramount+ subscription.
