Semi-drunken lunch inspired Harrison Ford to get his ear pierced

Washington, Apr 22 : Hollywood action hero Harrison Ford has revealed that a semi drunken lunch inspired him to get his ears pierced.

The 65-year-old actor told the Maxim magazine, that the lunch with pals Ed Bradley and Jimmy Buffett, who had their ear pierced, stirred him to get the piercing.

"Afterward, I walked down Madison Avenue till I found the first jewellery store that pierced ears," the New York Post quoted him, as saying.

Ford's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is set to hit the big screen on May 22.

He said it wasn't tough stepping back into the role after nearly 20 years.

"The costume still fit, which was encouraging," he told Reader's Digest. "And the character came back with the clothes. I think some trace of Indiana still resides in that leather jacket, hat, and whip," he added.
