Welcome back to the Late Show. Harrison Ford abroad saying what they just did. It's a pleasure to have you in Wow, sweet, yes, very sweet, yes, thank you very much, it's a pleasure to have you there. I want to talk to you for a long time. I know you don't deal with this much. It is truly an honor. I've got you here um and uh and uh you're busy too man you've got not one but two TV shows right now you've got the uh let's start with

1923

.

Okay check my calculations on this.

1923

is a

sequel

to 1883, which is a

prequel

to Yellowstone, that's what they tell me yeah, yeah, okay, okay, yeah, people love the cowboy again, they love westerns again right now. He's having a very real moment, yes, yes, and it's kind of interesting. I, I mean, I saw some Yellowstone, I saw, I saw Yellowstone, then 1883 came along and I saw that, yeah, and then I got this suggestion that Taylor Sheridan might want to do something with me and, but there was no script, but there was already uh um uh talked to Helen Helen Mirren Helen Mirren, which was a big draw for me and that and then she developed a great script and uh and I understand that she took you to her house in Texas and used underhanded means to make you say no. without anything.

No, he poured it over the top. If you want something? I have a bar back here. No, I don't want anything. Thank you. I try and I want to be really professional because this is one of us. yeah, there you go, boss, okay, the show feels like, less like a series, more like this eight hour movie, was that part of the appeal for you, uh, yeah, it is, I mean, it's very ambitious for what it is. It's really remarkable that we're filming in Africa, we're filming in Montana, it's very important and I'm very excited to be a part of this, well, it reunites you as you, as you said, with your old friend.

Helen Mirren, who was with you on the Mosquito Coast in 1986, there you become sexy and you stay sexy, it's incredible, she's still sexy, she said: "Have you ever, uh, I imagine you've heard yourself once, ever "You once kissed Helen Mirren." because I've made out with Helen Mirren, did she really come here the first time I met her, did she come? She plants a wet one on me and puts her hand on it, you know, she really grabs my head. I was paralyzed for about five. minutes was uh she's uh she's out there she I don't mean it's hot no she's very hot she's uh yeah it's been remarkable to see her uh you know there's a lot of physical action and she just jumps around and does things that you don't I can't imagine Alan Barron would do well Dame, uh, yeah, and there's nothing like a Dame, I'll tell you, um, so let's talk about this, so this or the conditions to make this movie because it's in Belize again, yeah, Huh, missed opportunity.

No free girls, so compared to this environment like filming in um in 1923 because that's Montana in the winter, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what was it like, what was it like, it was just, it was terrible, It's horrible, can you say what, can you say yes. Sure, I mean, it's nice in the summer and it's freezing cold. Butte Montana is the coldest city in the lower 48 states, it has been for a long time, yeah, and couldn't you like it like Harrison Ford, can you say, guys, can we? just do this on green screen why do we actually have to be out here in the cold?

No, I, I, I knew we would be, I knew we were going to have a hard time, do it the right way, okay, yeah, yeah, those are real horses, wow, you didn't. go with the digital horses, well that's awesome, real cowboy stuff. I know you have your own extension in Wyoming. I understand I have a place where I have a home in Wyoming, so I shouldn't say spread. I shouldn't say what it is. It's not a ranch, just spread or better than that for Ranch by the ranchers it's a shame they are working as if you guys grew it as certified grass or without livestock or something like that, no, no, we grow What certified circus grass like You know, certified grass, yes?

I don't know what that is, eh, certified grass, it's a package of hay grass, so no, no, I didn't know it was called certified grass, no, no, maybe it's not, after all, you have a smear and I have an apartment in New York. We have a clip here like you as patriarch Jacob Dutton for you, Harrison Ford, you know what we're going to see, yeah, Jim, what do you want to do? Dinner, fight in the middle of the street, sheep, let's talk to you, right? You don't forget I'm a member just like Cattleman's membership doesn't mean ignoring the rules, you grazed all your pasture and pushed your flock and managed Brand's pasture, the locusts hate my pasture.

The locusts ate everyone's grass, we are all suffering. Take your herd higher, then it's bears that kill them instead of cowboys, quick, I say, better, let's go all out for you. Can I beat 12 Jacob? I'm not worried about the other 11. Okay, we need to take a quick break. I'll be right back with more Harrison Fords, everyone stay put.
