American actor Harrison Ford, English actor Helen Mirren praise each other as they reunite on screen

Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren are reuniting for the soon to release drama series '1923' after first appearing together on screen 36 years ago.

'1923' is the prequel to 'Yellowstone' and sees the actors reunite decades after Peter Weir's 1986 film 'The Mosquito Coast'. As Ford (80) explained at the Hollywood Legion Theater Post 43 series premiere, his respect for Mirren (77) hasn't wavered since then, reports 'People' magazine.

"I admire her work and her person (now), and I have all the same degree of admiration for her as I did then," Ford told multiple media outlets, including 'People'. "She's wonderful, she's just a lovely person, and so it's been both a professional pleasure and a personal pleasure working with her again," he added.

Back in 1986, Ford had already appeared in the original 'Star Wars' trilogy and had knocked out two 'Indiana Jones' films. Mirren, meanwhile, said she considered herself a "nobody" back then – as it was a time two decades before she'd win an Academy Award for her performance in 'The Queen'.

"When we first worked together, he was a huge movie star and I was like nobody," she explained. "I was very intimidated, very intimidated."

She said: "But also I learned a lot from him because I hadn't done a lot. I'd done a lot of theatre at that point, I hadn't done a lot of movies. So I watched him, and he taught me a great deal about film acting that to this day (that) I'm still using."

According to 'People', in '1923' the actors star as Jacob and Cara Dutton, a couple running a family farm in Montana while navigating the challenges of the early 20th century, including pandemics, a historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression. IANS
