[ 2006-02-23 11:00 ]

Harrison Ford and fiancee Calista Flockhart pose in Sydney at the premiere of Firewall. 

Hollywood star Harrison Ford might be getting on in years, but he still has oodles of appeal.

Hundreds of screaming fans greeted the 63-year-old sex symbol at the Australian premiere of his latest blockbuster, Firewall, in Sydney last night.

Ford and his fiancee of four years, former Ally McBeal star Calista Flockhart, 41, dazzled the crowd at Bondi Junction.

Ford said he was happy to be back in Australia for the first time in 12 years.

"It's been a while. It's good to be back," he said.

Flockhart said the star couple and her adopted five-year-old son Liam spent much of the day at Taronga Park Zoo. "We had a little walk around," she said. "We went to the zoo and it was wonderful."

The trio arrived in Australia yesterday aboard a private jet.

In Firewall, a crime thriller, Ford plays Jack Stanfield -- a husband, father and head of security for a global bank who is forced to hack into the business to pay a $135 million ransom to free his kidnapped family. 

Asked why he had been attracted to the role, Ford said: "I like to play a real person who has a real life and family.

"I just thought it would be a good movie for an audience to enjoy."

Ford has at least three new projects on the horizon -- the sci-fi thriller Godspeed, Manhunt, about US president Abraham Lincoln's assassin, and Indiana Jones 4.

好莱坞明星哈里森·福特也许有些老了,但是他的魅力仍不减当年。

昨天晚上,这位63岁的性感影星出席了他的最新力作《防火墙》的悉尼首映式,数百名粉丝为他尖叫欢呼。  

在悉尼的邦迪中心,福特和未婚妻卡利斯塔·弗洛克哈特的出现令人群一时间不知所措。41岁的弗洛克哈特曾出演过影集《艾莉的异想世界》(又名《甜心俏佳人》)的女主角。她和福特订婚已经四年了。

福特说他很高兴12年后第一次回到澳大利亚。

他说:"我已经很久没到澳大利亚来了, 但是回来的感觉真不错!"

弗洛克哈特说,他们和5岁的养子廉门在塔朗加动物园玩了大半天。她说:"我们在附近散了散步,去了动物园,那真是太棒了!"

福特一家三人是昨天乘坐私人飞机抵达澳大利亚的。

电影《防火墙》是一部犯罪惊悚片,福特在片中扮演的杰克·斯坦菲尔德是一个丈夫,一个父亲,同时还是一个世界性银行的网络安全专家。电影里,杰克的家人遭绑架,为了支付1.35亿美金的赎金,他被迫答应攻破银行的网络安全系统。

当被问到他为什么会被这个角色所吸引的时候,福特说道:"我喜欢扮演这种拥有真实生活和家庭的真实人物。"

"我只是觉得这会是一部观众喜欢的好电影。"

福特目前手头上至少有三部新片--一部是科幻惊悚片 《成功祝福》,一部是关于美国总统林肯遇刺的电影《追捕》,另外一部是《印第安娜·琼斯4》(又名《夺宝奇兵4》)。
