Q&A: Harrison Ford on the new Indiana Jones (PREVIEW)

The action godfather cracks his whip again in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But first he must escape our booby-trapped interview.

So how did it feel to put Indy’s fedora back on?
Talk about dressing for success. The original outfit still fits. When we started, I was trepidatious as to whether we could pull this movie off, but I’m confident that we did. I had to refresh my whip skills, since there’s little opportunity in everyday life to employ a bullwhip.

Was the whip lying around your house?
No, props like that are kept in a bombproof vault underneath George Lucas’ house.
