Actor Shia LaBeouf was so awestruck by Harrison Ford's stamina on the set of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, he named the star The Cowboy.
LaBeouf and Ford appear together in the fourth installment of the action series, which is directed by Steven Spielberg. But the 21-year-old Transformers star was blown away by Ford's tireless efforts, and the 65-year-old's insistence to perform the majority of stunts himself earned him the nickname.
LaBeouf says, "Harrison would be beat to s**t every day. He did 90 per cent of the stunts. I'd watch him take the hits. Over and over. And he never asks for the medic. Or a breather. Or a break. He just kept working. We nicknamed him The Cowboy."
And LaBeouf admits starring alongside the veteran actor was a dream come true - although he would never admit that to Ford's face.
He adds, "Working with Harrison was really special to me. I didn't tell him that, of course. He's not the type of guy you go up to and say, 'You're special to me.' He's the kind of guy you give a handshake to and stay quiet. A man's man. And not bulls**t machismo, either. He's honest butch." (MT/WNSTES/LJ)
