Ford unconcerned by 'Indy 4' reviews

Rex Features

Harrison Ford has insisted that he is unfazed by critics' responses to the new Indiana Jones movie.

Speaking at yesterday's world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, he said: "I'm not afraid at all. I expect to have the whip turned on me.

"It is not unusual for something that is popular to be disdained by some people and I fully expect it."

The 65-year-old and co-stars Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf and Ray Winstone earned a standing ovation at the event, along with producer George Lucas.

The movie was panned on the internet ahead of the premiere, but has received a largely positive response from critics.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opens in cinemas on Thursday.
