Harrison Ford And Calista Flockhart Made Rare Statements About Their Ultra-Private Relationship
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart are one of Hollywood’s golden couples — despite the controversy that surrounded them when they first got together. For the most part, though, the acting superstars have somehow managed to keep their relationship under lock and key. But now they’ve revealed what goes on behind closed doors in their relationship, including the unusual secret that helps keep their spark alive.
Harrison the great
Harrison Ford should need little introduction to readers, given that he’s one of the biggest stars in Hollywood history. You’ll most likely know him from his role as Han Solo in the Star Wars saga, or playing the equally iconic Indiana Jones in that eponymous franchise. Then there’s his performances as Richard Kimble in The Fugitive and as President James Marshall in Air Force One.
Calista the TV star
Calista Flockhart, meanwhile, doesn’t have quite the level of prominence of her husband. But she’s still pretty famous in her own right. Flockhart made her name on the ’90s sitcom Ally McBeal playing the titular lawyer, but she’s also starred in a bunch of other TV shows and movies, including Supergirl and The Birdcage.
Glitzy night in Hollywood
Ford and Flockhart’s romance began on a glitzy night in Hollywood, over two decades ago. Yes, the Indiana Jones star and Ally McBeal actress rocked up — separately of course — to the 59th Golden Globes Awards on 20 January 2002. More specifically, we’re talking about the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, California.
Golden Globes consolation
It was a big night for Flockhart, who had been nominated in the Best Performance in a Television Series — Musical or Comedy for her lead role in Ally McBeal. But even though she wouldn’t be successful in her quest for the Best Actress Golden Globe that year — damn you, Sarah Jessica Parker — the Illinois-born actress bagged herself an impressive consolation prize: Harrison Ford.
