Ford: 'We don't need Sean Connery'

Harrison Ford has revealed he doesn't think Sean Connery will be missed on the new Indiana Jones film, WENN reports.

The former James Bond star insisted he was retired from acting at the end of last year and wasn't tempted by an offer from Steven Spielberg to reprise his role as Indiana Jones's father.

Ford said: "We don't need Sean. I'm old enough to play my own father.

"I would have loved to have had Sean back. But I think he prefers golf to acting nowadays and probably makes more [money]."

Connery was quoted as saying last month that he'd consider an offer to play a Bond villain but "I don't think they would pay me enough".

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is released on May 22.
