Harrison Ford gets a bike rack installed on his car after purchasing a brand-new two-wheeler in Santa Monica

Harrison Ford looked satisfied with his latest purchase at Helen’s Cycles in Santa Monica on Thursday afternoon, just a few days after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. 

Before bringing home his brand-new two-wheeler, the 78-year-old Academy Award nominee supervised two masked men installing a bike rack on the rear bumper of his vehicle.

During the exchange, he appeared in high spirits and good health as he sported an olive green shirt, a matching windbreaker with an orange lining and grey trousers.

He finished off his look with a lime green baseball cap and grey facial covering as he emerged from lockdown during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

Last week, the Hollywood veteran reportedly waited in line for two-and-a-half hours to receive the first dose of a vaccine for COVID-19 in Los Angeles County, according to Variety.  

As he prepares to reprise his role as Indiana Jones, the star has also been seen on a number of active outings, like participating in a tennis match on Wednesday.  

The fifth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise will reportedly start shooting this spring.

The exciting news was shared by longtime series producer Frank Marshall at the Disney Investor Day.

Although the actor has a wide-ranging filmography with numerous credits to his name, he is widely known for his portrayal of Han Solo in multiple entries in the Star Wars series.

Ford first appeared in the original 1977 film and went on to reprise his role a total of five times, with his most recent portrayal of the character being in 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker.

During the filming of the first feature, the then 33-year-old actor began an affair with his costar Carrie Fisher, who was only 19.

At the time, Harrison was married to his first wife, Mary Marquardt; their marriage lasted from 1964 until 1979. 

The actress kept the romantic liaison under wraps for decades before finally making the news public in her 2016 memoir, entitled The Princess Diarist.

Shortly before the book’s publication, Fisher spoke to People to offer more insight into the balance between their personal and professional lives.

‘It was so intense…It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend,’ said the actress.

The affair ended after production on Star Wars ended, but Fisher fondly remembered their time together. 

The actress remarked: ‘I was so inexperienced, but I trusted something about him…He was kind.’ 

The two would go on to appear in the film series together four more times.
