When it comes to nailing down Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren’s looks for the hit show "1923," Emmy Award-winning costume designer Janie Bryant has got it covered. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Bryant detailed what it was like creating a historic look for Ford and Mirren’s characters -- married couple Cara and Jacob Dutton. "I'll never forget, I had my first fitting with [Ford] and he was like, ‘Janie, do you have a three-way mirror?’ I said, ‘Of course, Harrison … let me show you.
Step right here,’" she began to explain. "He looks at himself in the mirror, has the hat on, the jacket, the chaps on. He puts his hands in his coat and he's like, ‘Well, what can I tell you? This is f---ing perfect.’" The "1923" costume designer admitted she had to create nearly 50 hats for Ford until he found the right one for his character, Jacob.
"The cowboy hat is an extension, an expression of who they are," Bryant explained. "One of the things that I talked to Harrison about was … he knows the importance of a hat … the certain style of [a] hat makes you famous, right? … Think about Indiana Jones and the fedora," she said, referring to another one of Ford’s popular movie roles. Fifty hats later, Bryant dished on how critical it was to provide Ford with the right accessory for the "Yellowstone" spinoff, "1923." "This hat … for Jacob Dutton felt as important as any of those other characters created on screen," she continued. "I talked to Harrison a lot about [how] I feel like Jacob Dutton really must have the Montana peak crease … so that is the hat that he ended up with, and I named it ‘The Jacob.’" As for Mirren’s character, Bryant went on to say how she and Ford are both "total" professionals to work with. She added

Harrison Ford is looking back on The Devil’s Own, his collaboration with Brad Pitt.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Harrison Ford is taking some responsibility for the tension that developed with Brad Pitt during the making of their 1997 thriller “The Devil’s Own.” The film, which notably marked the last directorial effort from Alan J. Pakula (“All the President’s Men,” “Klute”), earned mixed reviews but grossed $140 million worldwide. Ford has often said in past interviews that it was difficult filming “The Devil’s Own.” When Esquire magazine recently asked why, Ford said it was due to creative differences he had with Pitt. “Heh. Yeah, I remember why,” Ford said. “Brad developed the script. Then they offered me the part. I saved my comments about the character and the construction of the thing—I admired Brad. First of all, I admire Brad. I think he’s a wonderful actor. He’s a really decent guy. But we couldn’t agree on a director until we came to Alan Pakula, who I had worked with before but Brad had not.”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Harrison Ford revealed in a new interview with Esquire magazine that the most common question “Star Wars” fans ask him is who would win a fight: Han Solo or Indiana Jones? It’s a question that has provided fodder for many Reddit discussions and social media debates, but it’s not one Ford ever wants to entertain.

I don’t want to fucking make shit up like that.
