Hollywood legend Harrison Ford is still dealing with deep emotional trauma nearly a decade after surviving a terrifying plane crash, according to his 1923 co-star, Helen Mirren.

According to RadarOnline, Mirren, 79, revealed that Ford had a painful moment on set while filming a brutal scene in the hit Yellowstone prequel, where his character, Jacob Dutton, is riddled with bullets in an ambush.

"He's been carried into the kitchen, dying and covered in blood, and later Harrison did say to me, 'That was how I was after the accident,’” Mirren shared.

Reflecting on the traumatic experience, Ford admitted that watching a brutal scene in 1923 brought painful memories rushing back.

"I watched a rehearsal with a stand-in. Even when I talk about it now, it emotionally relates to the airplane crash I had and what my wife (Calista Flockhart) went through," he shared.

What accident did Harrison Ford have?

The Star Wars icon nearly lost his life in 2015 when he was piloting a vintage 1942 Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR over California.

Shortly after takeoff, the plane’s engine failed at 3,000 feet, forcing Ford to make an emergency landing on a Venice, California, golf course.

Despite suffering multiple severe injuries—including a broken back, ankle, pelvis, and serious head trauma—the Indiana Jones star miraculously survived.
