Calista Flockhart's Honest First Impression of Harrison Ford Before Love Sparked
So here’s something you probably didn’t expect about one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples — before Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford fell head over heels, she had a surprisingly casual take on the man we all know as Han Solo.
Before their paths ever crossed in real life, both Harrison and Calista were already household names. He had been captivating audiences since the 1970s with iconic roles like Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Meanwhile, Calista became a breakout star in the '90s thanks to Ally McBeal , a show that gave her not just fame but also a kind of cult following. You’d assume that with Ford’s massive screen presence and legendary career, any actress might be starstruck — but not Calista.

In an interview with People , Calista revealed that yes, she had seen Harrison’s work before meeting him, and yes, she liked him in The Mosquito Coast . But that was about it. Her verdict at the time? “I didn’t really think about him.” It’s such a refreshingly honest take, especially in an industry where big names often get placed on pedestals. Calista wasn’t dreaming of meeting Harrison Ford — she was just living her life, focused on her own work.
That all changed when fate brought them together at the Golden Globes in the early 2000s. Sparks flew, and soon enough, they were dating. By 2010, they sealed the deal in a small, private wedding in New Mexico. From a simple first impression to building a life together — it’s the kind of love story that makes you believe timing really is everything.
What’s even more heartwarming is how openly Calista talked about falling in love. She once said, “Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love, and I think there is potential for it at any stage of your life.” That’s a powerful reminder, especially coming from someone who wasn’t expecting to fall for a major movie star. She didn’t just fall — she embraced it fully.
And Harrison? He clearly felt the same. Despite having gone through two previous marriages and raising kids from earlier relationships, he found something real with Calista. He even became a father figure to her adopted son, Liam. It’s clear this wasn’t just a Hollywood fling. This was — and still is — the real deal.
So while Calista may have once thought nothing of the man behind Indiana Jones, it’s safe to say her opinion changed dramatically. And looking at them now — from red carpets to quiet moments away from the spotlight — it’s obvious that this unexpected love turned into a lasting, beautiful partnership.
