Who would not lack words upon meeting Harrison Ford. Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Star Trek Into Darkness) found some words but not the ones he was looking for...
Benedict Cumberbatch on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
BC: I had a fine moment with Harrison Ford at the beginning of this year ...
JF: Han Solo?
BC: Yeah.
JF: The coolest guy on earth!
BC: Completely and then topping that with Raiders of the Lost Ark as well. You know and I met the guy and I was so "OMG this is such a pleasure, I used to fantasize about you ..."
Bonus point for him for bringing up Raiders of the Lost Ark! He has to be an Indy fan.
Is there be a better way to promote the upcoming third Uncharted game for the PS3 than to let Indiana Jones himself play the adventure game? I guess not. The hard working marketing department from Naughty Dog, the game company responsible for the award winning Uncharted game series, pulled of the marketing hat-trick and got Harrison Ford for their Japanese Uncharted commercial.

There is even a Making Off and additional footage from behind the scenes available. This extra material is really fun because you can see Harrison play the real game and just react to the amazing action he sees. His reactions remind me a lot of myself when I got Uncharted 2 last year and how I was blown away by the intensity of how this games kicks in right from the start. Now my wish for Xmas is: Let someone responsible from Lucasfilm Games see this to make them finally understand Uncharted + Indy = win.

This is not exactly Indiana Jones related but you do not want to miss to see what Harrison Ford does to a smurf after the smurfs movie did nearly beat Ford's new film Cowboys & Aliens on the first weekend in cinema:
