Ford: 'I could still use the whip'

Harrison Ford was surprised that he could still remember how to use his whip in the new Indiana Jones movie.

The actor reprised his role as the adventurous archaeologist in fourth instalment Kingdom of the Crystal Skull after 19 years away from the franchise.

He told the official Indiana Jones Magazine: "The whip came back pretty easily. I was surprised because it is a relatively uncommon skill. I wasn't terribly good at it, but I was good enough for showbusiness when we did it before."

He added: "I'd lost touch with the first whip trainer that I used, so we had a new whip trainer who had a different technique. I was able to bring it back in a couple of weeks of pretty diligent application."

Co-star Ray Winstone recently praised Ford, saying he could hit a dot on a door from 20ft away.
