'It's worse than first thought': Harrison Ford's injury halts Indiana Jones 5 production, Calista Flockhart stands by

It's been nearly two years since Indiana Jones 5 production was put on pause after Harrison Ford faced an unexpected injury on set. The now 81-year-old actor took this unexpected break in stride, seeking refuge and recuperation under the Croatian sun alongside his wife of 13 years, actress Calista Flockhart. Let's dive back into the past and see how this unexpected incident turned into a tale of resilience and love.

As reported by the Daily Mail in 2021, the filming for the fifth and final Indiana Jones movie, originally slated for release in 2022, faced significant delays. After a pushback due to the coronavirus pandemic, another obstacle emerged - Ford's shoulder injury, sustained during one of his daring stunts. An insider source had stated back then, "It's worse than first thought." The production was forecasted to resume earliest by September, causing chaos among the team.

The break, however, wasn't all doom and gloom. Harrison and Calista took off to Croatia for a sunny respite amidst the tumultuous times. Soaking in the city sights and the warmth of Dubrovnik, Ford seemed to be making the most of his time off work.

There was an air of affection as the couple were seen exploring the ancient city. Harrison, as dapper as ever, and Calista, wowing in a summery red-and-white dress. This quiet vacation was a testament to the couple's unwavering bond, which had been cemented on the red carpet of the Golden Globes back in 2002.

As we look back, one can't help but recall the candid confession by Raiders Of The Lost Ark director Steven Spielberg, who had called himself 'an idiot' for allowing Harrison to do his own stunts. One such stunt involved outrunning a prop weighing 300 pounds - an extreme feat, even for the resilient Ford.

What started as a simple on-set accident turned into a whirlwind of events, pushing back production schedules, and putting the team in a state of flux. Yet, through it all, Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart showed us that love and support could turn even the most unfortunate circumstances into memorable moments.
