According to the latest reports, Helen Mirren from 1923 has praised her co-star in the Yellowstone spin-off and Indiana Jones icon, Harrison Ford. She went on describing his evolution in acting over the years and how "absolutely unafraid of expressing" the 82-year-old star has become, per ScreenRant.

Recently, Mirren has talked about Ford's changes, especially recalling moments from the filming days of 1923. She said that Harrison Ford never wanted to be the "big star" he is now but rather be himself, like the "quiet person" in the room. Helen Mirren has praised his transformation, calling it "magical". Her exact words were:

"He was a huge star and he really didn’t want to be. He wanted to just be a quiet person getting on with life, and of course, that’s kind of impossible. Something rather magical has happened to Harrison, especially with his history of, you know, being the dude, the bloke, the fabulous action guy, the funny guy, the cool guy. "

Per ScreenRant, Mirren mentioned in a statement to the Wall Street Journal, saying:

"Now there’s this open road to his inner feelings, which he is absolutely unafraid of expressing. It’s just a true, quick, instinctive emotional reaction to things, without sentimentality."

In the interview with the Wall Street Journal, Helen Mirren also talked about how Harrison Ford reflected on his near-fatal accident back in 2015 while shooting an intense sequence for 1923.

The scene involves Jacob Dutton (played by Ford) being moved to the kitchen, all smeared with blood. Per ScreenRant, Ford told Mirren how the 2015 plane crash affected him in ways. As per Mirren's statements, Ford said:

"That was how I was after the accident."
