Harrison Ford doesn’t just save lives in fiction, he also does it in reality! Currently filming the next part ofIndianaJones, the 79-year-old actor managed to keep one of his colleagues alive when he suffered a heart attack. At the beginning of the week indeed, while he was performing his scene, he rushed at the member of the team who collapsed.
“Harrison was standing just a few feet away and he shouted that he needed a doctor“, told a source to Page Six. “There was quite a bit of panic. The first to help him gave him a heart massage, while waiting for the ambulance and the doctors to arriveHarrison Ford, asked by the magazine, has not yet responded.
In any case, it seems that the filming of this fifth part ofIndianaJones (the last was released in 2008) is a bit cursed. Indeed, if this member of the team was saved thanks to the intervention of Harrison Ford, one of the persons in charge of the cameras had succumbed… to a heart attack a few months ago, while the team was filming in Morocco. He had also been found dead in his hotel room, in Fez, at the age of 54.
The production, in a statement published in the press, had expressed its sadness. “Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Nic Cupac, an incredibly talented colleague and member of the film community we will miss.“Shortly after his sudden death, filming was stopped again because Harrison Ford suffered a shoulder injury and had to take several months of rehabilitation.
The film, which is therefore very late, is scheduled for 2023. Unlike the previous four parts, it will not be directed by Steven Spielberg. The first three opuses, released in 1981 (the lost ark), 1984 (The Cursed Temple) and 1989 (The Last Crusade) are now cult films. They were completed in 2008 by Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which depicted the meeting of the adventurer and his son Mutt.
