Your support makes all the difference.Harrison Ford has called US President Donald Trump a “son of a b****” in a televised interview.
Talking to Jimmy Kimmel on the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the Star Wars actor was asked if he had seen the reviews for his new film, Jack London adaptation The Call of the Wild.
Kimmel gestured towards an mocked-up poster for the film, plastered with quotes from Trump, such as “this was a perfect call” and “this was a great call”.
The comments obviously were not made in reference to Ford’s film, but about the President’s infamous phone call to Ukraine that sparked the recent impeachment inquiry.
Enjoying the joke, Ford responded: “That’s the first thing that son of a b**** has done for me – ever.”
The 77-year-old actor has criticised Trump before for his regressive environmental policies, saying he was “on the wrong side of history”.
Trump was acquitted of impeachment in the Republican-majority Senate, with the decision not to subpoena witnesses stirring up a great deal of controversy in the States.
