Harrison Ford momentarily shed his infamously grumpy persona to share a snack with the Cookie Monster, in a clip that has gone viral online.<\/p>\n
The 84-year-old actor went on Sesame Street a couple of months ago, but the official Cookie Monster account belatedly shared a clip of his behind-the-scenes appearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the video, Ford and the blue furball shared one of his pretty delicious-looking biscuits. The Monster then started to hum the Indiana Jones theme tune, which cracked Ford up before he joined in.<\/p>\n
The clip has been viewed 1.5million times on X, after the Cookie Monster account posted it with the caption: \u2018Me think me know this song.\u2019<\/p>\n
It has, unsurprisingly, been catnip for Indiana Jones fans, who were also buoyed this week by Ford\u2019s announcement that he will be donning that fedora once again (albeit not on the big screen, but for a forthcoming Disney parks attraction based on the films).<\/p>\n
\u2018Cookie Monster can warm the coldest hearts. Nom nom nom,\u2019 wrote @ni_hao_butches, while @AlreadyFifty commented: \u2018This is genuinely one of the greatest things ever recorded.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2026 was expecting grumpy Harrison Ford. This is delightful!\u2019 exclaimed @Putrid-Builder-3333.<\/p>\n
Over on X, @Loddedin agreed in a reply to the original tweet: \u2018Harrison Ford breaking his grumpy old man character and just having fun is always so great.\u2019<\/p>\n
As that comment suggests, Ford has something of a reputation in his regular life appearances. For his 80th birthday the Guardian hailed him \u2018a superb grumpy old man\u2019 and said he had been an octogenarian in spirit for decades before he actually became one.<\/p>\n
Ford notoriously broke cover during his 2017 interview with Alison Hammond and Ryan Gosling for This Morning, which ended in the trio hysterically cracking up. It was all the more notable given Ford\u2019s gruff demeanour.<\/p>\n
During a 2006 appearance on Conan O\u2019Brien\u2019s Late Night show, he was asked about this supposedly cantankerous image and deemed it \u2018horse s***.\u2019<\/p>\n
The Star Wars actor has also been asked about armchair expert fans online who have floated the suggestion that he might have social anxiety.<\/p>\n
During a 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said: \u2018That sounds like something a psychiatrist would say, not a casual observer. No. I don\u2019t have a social anxiety disorder. I have an abhorrence of boring situations.\u2019<\/p>\n
In the same Q&A he went on to recall how he used to be \u2018terrified\u2019 of appearing on stage for theatre roles, adding: \u2018My knees would shake so badly, you could see it from the back of the theatre. But that\u2019s not social anxiety. That\u2019s being unfamiliar with the territory.<\/p>\n
