Fact: Sean Connery and Harrison Ford Surprising Age Difference as Father and Son in 'Indiana Jones'
Timeless stars who became on-screen family.
One fun fact I recently came across is that there’s only a 12-year age gap between Sean Connery and Harrison Ford — the legendary actor who played Indiana Jones. It’s wild to think that Connery, who famously portrayed James Bond, was just over a decade older than Ford, who brought the adventurous archaeologist to life.
Watching Indiana Jones, I’ve always admired Harrison Ford’s charisma and rugged charm, but knowing he was so close in age to Connery makes me appreciate even more how Hollywood’s stars often seem timeless.
It also highlights how different generations of actors can coexist and influence each other, sometimes even within the same franchise or genre.
It’s a reminder that age is just a number in Hollywood — talent and charisma are what truly matter. Whether it’s Connery’s suave sophistication or Ford’s rugged heroism, both have left an indelible mark on cinema.
And to think they were only 12 years apart? That’s a fun little detail that makes me appreciate the magic of movies even more.
