Mixed Martial Arts


Harrison Ford is an avid fan of the sport of mixed martial arts and has been pointed out to be in attendance on the televised feeds of several events in the United States. However, there have been reports [28] that the recent lack of televised appearances on MMA broadcasts is owing to a violent altercation sustained in the audience between him and UFC commentator and comedian Joe Rogan at the Las Vegas Pride 33 show. Allegedly, an argument brewed after Ford inadvertently caused Joe Rogan to spill beer on himself, resulting in Ford punching Rogan in the face after the comedian refused his apology and rudely called him "grandpa". The two remain unreconciled and the UFC's current policy is to exclude Harrison Ford from the broadcasts despite his reported appearances at several shows throughout the latter half of 2007 and 2008.

Early life

Ford was born on Monday, July 13, 1942, at 11:41 a.m. in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, at the Swedish Covenant Hospital. His mother, Dorothy (née Dora Nidelman; October 17, 1917–February 10, 2004), was a homemaker and former radio actress, and his father, Christopher Ford (né John William Ford; November 20, 1906–February 10, 1999), was an advertising executive and former actor. Harrison Ford's maternal grandparents, Anna Lifschutz and Harry Nidelman, were Jewish immigrants from Minsk. His paternal grandparents, Florence Veronica Niehaus and John Fitzgerald Ford, were of German and Irish Catholic descent, respectively. When asked in which religion he was raised, Ford jokingly responded, "Democrat";[6] he has also said that he feels "Irish as a person but I feel Jewish as an actor".

Ford was active in the Boy Scouts of America, and achieved its second-highest rank, Life Scout, and worked at a Scout camp as a counselor for the Reptile Study merit badge. Because of this, he and director Steven Spielberg later decided that the character of young Indiana Jones would be depicted as a Life Scout in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. They also jokingly reversed Ford's knowledge of reptiles into Jones's fear of snakes.

In 1960, Ford graduated from Maine East High School in Park Ridge, Illinois. His was the first student voice broadcast on his high school's new radio station, WMTH-FM, and was its first sportscaster during his senior year, 1959–1960. The radio room still bears his graffiti. He attended Ripon College in Wisconsin, where he was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity. He took a drama class in his junior year, chiefly as a way to meet women. Ford, a self-described "late bloomer", became fascinated with acting. Towards the end of his college freshman year, he was a member of a folk band called The Brothers Gross, in which he played gutbucket. He did not graduate from Ripon. It was around this time that he suffered from a period of intense clinical depression; he would sleep much longer and eventually lost respect for his appearance.

Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford (born July 13, 1942) is an Academy Award- and BAFTA-nominated, as well as Golden Globe-winning, American actor. Ford is best known for his performances as the adventurous archaeologist and action hero Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. in the Indiana Jones film series and as the tough, wisecracking space pilot Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy. He is also known for his role as the haunted android tracker Rick Deckard in Ridley Scott's sci-fi cult film Blade Runner. His four-decade career also includes roles in other Hollywood blockbusters such as The Fugitive, Air Force One and What Lies Beneath. At one point, Ford had roles in the top five box-office hits of all time, though his role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (as Elliot's school principal) was deleted from the final cut of the film. Five of his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry.

In 1997, Ford was ranked # 1 in Empire's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list. As of July 2008, the domestic box office grosses of Ford's films total almost US$3.4 billion,[1] with worldwide grosses surpassing $6 billion, making Ford the No. 2[2] domestic box-office star for lead roles behind only Eddie Murphy and Tom Hanks. If counting both supporting movie roles as well as starring roles, Ford would be the 5th biggest film star,[3] behind that of voice-actor Frank Welker, Samuel L. Jackson (whose biggest grossing films consist of him as a non-lead, supporting actor), Eddie Murphy and Tom Hanks.
