As the Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens hype continues to build, Harrison Ford visited the Ellen DeGeneres but couldn't leave without being questioned on his terrifying plane crash.
Ford was involved in plane crash back in March and since then has made a full recovery and is back to promoting his new Star Wars film that is set to release very soon.
Original reports said that Ford was battered when a small aircraft that he was piloting came crashing down on land. However, Ford doesn't want the blame for the crash.
"You crashed a plane," said DeGeneres who was quickly corrected by Ford.
"The plane crashed, I was aboard the plane and it crashed. I didn't," said Ford.
Ford told DeGeneres that the plane had a mechanical malfunction and that the golf course was the next best place to land, though he wanted to land at the airport. He joked that there were doctors there that probably should have been at work.
DeGeneres was actually flown by Ford in a helicopter and found out that he wasn't even a licensed pilot at that point.
Ford is flying again and DeGeneres joked that his wife must be thrilled to have him back. You can catch Ford in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens upon its release on December 18.
