Harrison Ford lost his job as a chef when he "cut part of [his] finger off"

The 'Shrinking' star noted on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' he'd worked as a chef "for relatively short periods of time, until they found out about me and fired me."

He added: "My first job was, I cooked at a hospital. I don't know what I told them but they gave me a knife and a bunch of carrots, and I cut this part of my finger off within minutes.

"But the sew-your-finger-back-on department was right down the hall, and right after that was where they fire you for lying about [knowing how to cook]."

The 'Star Wars' star also had another culinary job but it wasn't too taxing.

He said: "I was working on a yacht that was owned by the youngest bank president in Chicago at the time. He had a yacht and a boutonnière and he was a nice guy, but he didn't know much about cooking.

"But he was heir to the Swift meatpacking factory, so all I had to do was buy really expensive beef."

Harrison - who has Ben, 58, Willard, 55, Malcolm, 37, and Georgia, 34, from his previous marriages and Liam, 23, with wife Calista Flockhart - recently insisted he "loves" being older.

Reflecting on the de-aging technology used in 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny', he told Reader's Digest UK: "I know that that is my face, it's not kind of photoshopped magic; that's what I actually looked like 35 years ago - because Lucas Film has every frame of film that we've made together over all of these years.

"And this process, this scientific mining of the library, was put to good use. But it's just a trick unless it's supported by a good story. And it sticks out like a sore thumb if it's not real-I'm not talking about visually, I mean emotionally real. And so l think it was used very skillfully and assiduously. I'm very happy with it.

"But I don't look back and say, 'I wish I was that guy again' -because I don't.

"I'm real happy with age. I love being older.

"It was great to be young, but sh**fire, I could be dead!

And I'm still working. So, go figure."
