You’ve probably heard the story of how, back in the ‘70s, Harrison Ford supported himself by working as a carpenter. And you’ve probably heard the other story, about how Ford was doing some work for Francis Ford Coppola when he happened to run into George Lucas, who asked him to run lines for a little sci-fi movie he was making. But there’s one thing they didn’t tell you about these stories: While all this was happening, Harrison Ford was super-hot. “Oh, I’ve seen Star Wars,” you might say.”I know how hot young Harrison Ford was.” You do not. The true hotness of young Harrison Ford was only revealed on Facebook last week, when musician Sérgio Mendes revealed that Ford, among other feats of carpentry, built him a new recording studio back in 1970. To prove it, Mendes posted a photo of himself smiling alongside a tanned, shirtless, smirking, virile, 28-year-old Harrison Ford. And all at once there was a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices had suddenly called out, Goddamn! and were suddenly silenced. “I love your abs,” you would have said, if you’d been there. And he’d shoot back, “I know.”
