Calista eyes up her action man

At 60, he could be forgiven for finding a body double to do his stunts. But Harrison Ford is clearly refusing to let age get in the way of his status as an action hero.

As shooting began on his latest film, Two Cops, he was already turning heads - this time of onlookers in Rodeo Drive as they watched him sprint down the street and hop into the back of a convertible.

The Indiana Jones star then ordered co-star Josh Hartnett, 36 years his junior, to drive and, as the cameras rolled, the Ford Mustang sped off down the famous Beverly Hills boulevard. Ford plays veteran policeman Joe Gavilan and Hartnett plays KC Calden in the thriller, which is due out next summer.

It is the latest proof from Ford that despite being of bus-pass age, he is still at the pinnacle of the Hollywood A-list, commanding a minimum of £17 million a film.

This year, however, he has become the talk of Hollywood, not for his forthcoming role as a Russian submarine captain in K-19: The Widowmaker, but his romance with former Ally McBeal star Calista Flockhart.

She was on set with her adopted son, Liam, to admire him go through his paces.

Earlier this month, the two appeared inseparable at the Venice Film Festival, fuelling Hollywood speculation that they are to marry at Christmas. Flockhart, 37, has been comforted by Ford when Ally McBeal was cancelled because of poor ratings.
