Harrison Ford insists his plane crash could never have put him off flying

He said: " "It was one time - and I didn't crash, the plane crashed. I didn't get right out of it, but I'm fine now, it took a while."

Asked if it had put him off flying, he added: "No, it's a big part of who I am."

The 75-year-old actor admitted he prefers to fly himself to his movie sets, unless he's travelling a long distance and needs to catch up on some rest.

He told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "Usually I fly myself, [but] if I've got a really tight schedule and I've got to fly across the ocean, I don't do it, because I can sleep."

During filming of 'Blade Runner 2049', Harrison accidentally punched co-star Ryan Gosling in the face, and while the pair have joked about the incident a number of times in recent weeks, the screen legend has finally apologised.

He said: "He was probably more shocked than I was. I didn't want to punch him in the face, I wanted to miss.

"If you see him [Gosling], tell him I'm sorry. [I'm] really sorry."

Despite his advancing years, the 'Star Wars' star - who raises son Liam, 16, with wife Calista Flockhart, and also has four adult children from previous marriages - is in "pretty good" shape and still works out regularly.

He said: "I feel pretty good...I do all kinds of things, a little gym, weights, wheels, I'm an old school guy."
