Paramount's neo-Western series Yellowstone has generated two other shows in its wake: 1883 and 1923. The latter stars Harrison Ford as Jacob Dutton, patriarch of the Dutton family as they endure Prohibition, drought, and the early stages of the Great Depression. It also stars - and reunites Ford with - Helen Mirren as Cara Dutton, wife of Jacob. With 1923 first premiering in December 2022, it's been 36 years since Ford and Mirren worked so closely together on so big a project. But to hear Ford talk about it, it's like they've been married all this time. Just this month, 1923 has been renewed for a second season. In light of this news, Ford has discussed what it's been like reuniting with Mirren and the surprising way she behaves. Here's what he had to say.

And she doesn't take herself terribly seriously." When Ford spoke with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday's episode of The Late Show, the late-night host could confirm that assessment. Colbert revealed of Mirren, "First time she came on here, first time I ever met her, she came on and plants a wet one on me. Really grabs my head. I was paralytic for about five minutes."

Dame Helen Mirren." But Ford is full of surprises too, especially regarding his career, which isn't ending any time soon.
