Forbes Magazine named Harrison Ford the highest earning Hollywood actor of the last 12 months after the actor accumulated $64.95m in profits from his starring role in Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The 66 year old actor rose to super stardom as Han Solo in George Lucas’s Star Wars (1977) and went on to further Hollywood success with box office hits, Witness (1985), The Fugitive (1993), andAir Force One (1997). Ford’s twenty-first century output has been less than thrilling in forgotten pictures such as Hollywood Homicide (2003) and Firewall (2006).
Additionally, Ford’s reign as Indiana Jones also looks to be on the down side. Hints thatShia LaBeouf will take over the role were less than subtle towards the end credits of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. In the final scene, LaBeouf as Indiana’s long lost son dares to try on his father’s beloved hat for size and the hat fits. Moreover, in a BBC interview this week, LaBeouf practically let the cat out of the bag when he mentioned Spielberg was putting a story together in time for the next installment.
LaBeouf stars in the sequel of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, released next week.
