Harrison Ford’s ankle was broken Thursday when a door from the Millennium Falcon fell, The Hollywood Reporter claims. Lucasfilm has confirmed an injury, but not the extent or exact cause. The Telegraph reports Saturday that Ford’s wife Callista Flockhart is flying out as the U.K. press piles on that the injury may be worse than we’re hearing.
“Shooting will continue as planned while he recuperates,” Lucasfilm said.
Who wants to bet that it was the Falcon’s landing ramp that dropped down and hurt his ankle.
Access Hollywood (still journo trash but more legitimate than TMZ and British tabloids) apparently interviewed his older son, Ben, and he gave more specifics. Possibly needs plate and screws in his ankle.
