What prompted Indiana Jones star Harrison Ford to get his ear pierced?

"A semi-drunken lunch with [late 60 Minutes correspondent] Ed Bradley and Jimmy Buffett, who were both wearing rings," he tells Maxim of the 1997 decision.

"Afterward," Ford said, "I walked down Madison Avenue till I found the first jewelry store that pierced ears."

Ford's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits the big screen May 22.

He said it wasn't tough stepping back into the role after nearly 20 years.

"The costume still fit, which was encouraging," he told Reader's Digest. "And the character came back with the clothes. I think some trace of Indiana still resides in that leather jacket, hat, and whip."

At 65, Ford has plenty of action off-screen as well, helping girlfriend Calista Flockhart, 43, raise her adopted son, Liam.

Asked how Flockhart rates as a mother, he said she's "the best in the world. She's devoted herself to Liam and has done a really wonderful job raising him. I'm happy to now have a part of the job."
