Samuel L. Jackson shocked by Harrison Ford’s accident

By Tribute News on June 16, 2014 | 2 Comments


Samuel L. Jackson Samuel L. Jackson was surprised to hear about Harrison Ford's injuries. The 65-year-old actor was shocked by news that Harrison - who has reprised his role as Hans Solo in the sci-fi franchise - was crushed by a hydraulic door on set of the Star Wars: Episode VII last week, and insists the accident wouldn't have been his fault. Speaking on ITV's Lorraine this morning, Samuel said: ''I'm sure it wasn't because he wanted to or it was something he was doing ... I'm sure something went terribly awry if that happened because most times insurance companies don't like us doing those things!'' Harrison, 71, was left with a broken ankle following the incident at the Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire and is unlikely to return to the set for some time, which has disrupted the filming schedule.

    Perhaps he had just seen Jar Jar in Phantom Menace for the first time…
