Exclusive: Unveiling the Secret Behind Indiana Jones' Iconic Hat Trick in BTS Clip!

Harrison Ford has confirmed that he indeed stapled Indiana Jones' fedora to his head in a famous behind-the-scenes clip from Raiders of the Lost Ark. After over four decades of portraying the iconic character, Ford is reprising the role for one more adventure in this year's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. While this fifth installment may not mark the end for the beloved franchise, Ford has stated that it is his final time playing the swashbuckling archaeologist that he originated in 1981.

As Ford bids farewell to one of his most iconic roles with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, he has taken the opportunity to reminisce about his past experiences wearing Indy's fedora. In an interview with GQ, Ford addressed a specific moment from the original Raiders where he demonstrated the secret behind why Indy's hat never falls off. He showed the cameras how he attached the hat to his head using a staple gun, which appeared to be a humorous on-set moment. However, in the interview, Ford insists that he genuinely stapled the hat to his scalp, even displaying what he claims to be staple scars. With a dry sense of humor, he adds, "You do what you need to do."

Ford’s Sense Of Humor Is Perfect For Indiana Jones

Ford, known for his dislike of press interviews, has surprised many in recent years by showcasing a delightful sense of humor in his interactions. This playful side is evident once again in his latest GQ interview, where he jokingly claims to have stapled Indiana Jones' iconic fedora to his head, delivered with his usual deadpan seriousness.

This humor that Ford exhibits in interviews also carries over into his film roles, particularly in his portrayal of Indiana Jones. While Indy is renowned as a daring adventurer and ladies' man, it is his self-deprecating sense of humor that endears him to audiences, preventing his charm from becoming too arrogant. Ford's ability to inject humor into the character was established from the very beginning of the iconic Raiders of the Lost Ark, where Indy endured humiliation at the hands of his rival Belloq. This charming and good-natured quality has continued to serve the beloved character well throughout the decades.
