: : : I've seen him on the tonight show twice saying that while filming an episode of "Gunsmoke," he seperated his shoulder and got so mad that he threw his prop gun up in the air and it came back and knocked all his teeth out. Maybe he was exaggerating to some degree, but he sounded pretty serious. Does anyone know???
: : : I don't know if this would affect his kissing, but a lack of nervous control of his teeth could be somewhat of a contributing factor.
: : In People mag, the '98 Sexiest Man Alive, he states, "They're [his teeth] not real. I tripped and fell on my gun doing a "Gunsmoke" episode 25 years ago and knocked them out."
: I wonder if that contributes to his half-smile/lop-sided-grin thing he has going...or maybe that was due to his car accident where he got his scar...Lord, that man has gotten hurt!
I remember him telling a story about being beaten up badly by some locals on the set of 'Raiders'. It was some misunderstanding. Somebody had joked to the locals that Ford didn't care for their culture or religion or something like that and they took it very serious! I don't know if that happened before or after Ford contracted the dysentery. That's some rough "mileage"... Fall Guy
