Asking Ford about his much-anticipated return to one of his most famous roles - Indiana Jones - for a fifth film, she hinted that many had criticised his age.

"You're going to be 77 when the film is released..." she began.

"Yeah, but I'll only be 75 when I shoot it!" the actor laughed.

Of his decision to return to the role in his older years, the actor said he was "looking forward to it".

"I am what I am, and Indiana Jones will be what he is. We're not attempting to make a film with Indiana Jones is 35 years old!" he said.

"I think it will be fun."

The actor also spoke of his Star Wars legacy, his dramatic plane crash in 2016 and whether or not we'll see Han Solo return for future Star Wars films.
