INDIANA Jones star Harrison Ford admits he can’t shake off his famous character — even during an intimate procedure.

Harrison, who played the whip-wielding archaeologist for 42 years, revealed a joker put on the movie’s famous soundtrack as he steeled himself for a colonoscopy.

Opening up about the franchise’s theme maestro John Williams, Harrison said: “As I often remind John, his music follows me everywhere I go, literally.

“When I had my last colonoscopy, they were playing it on the operating room speakers.”

The famous theme tune, The Raiders March, soundtracked all five Indiana Jones films — from Raiders Of The Lost Ark in 1981 to Dial Of Destiny last summer.

Harrison, 81, is one of Hollywood’s most recognisable stars thanks to Indy and his role as Hans Solo in Star Wars and four of its sequels

When asked about his encounters with fans, he said: “They usually ask, ‘If there was a fight between Han Solo and Indiana Jones, who would win?’

“And I say, ‘Me, a**hole’.

“I don’t want to make stuff up.

“I mean, what are you asking that for?”

Harrison’s last outing as Indy — alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 38, who played his goddaughter Helena — was officially his “last adventure”.
