Taran Killam shared a humorous encounter with his wife Cobie Smulders’ co-star Harrison Ford, revealing some behind-the-scenes moments during his appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” Killam, known for his work on “SNL,” recounted how his admiration for Ford dates back to when he performed an impression of the legendary actor during a sketch. This led to a call from director J.J. Abrams, who asked Killam to lend his voice for a Ford line in a special effects reel.
Recently, while shopping for jeans with Smulders, Killam found himself in an unexpected situation; the salesman was trying to upsell him on boots similar to what Ford wore in “Indiana Jones.” To Killam’s astonishment, Ford himself walked into the store just moments later. He described the encounter as almost surreal, saying they had “manifested” Ford’s presence. Although he initially smiled through the interaction, Killam candidly admitted that he turned into somewhat of a fanboy once Ford left the store, reflecting on how nervous he felt and how much he wanted to share his past experiences with the actor.
Seth Meyers, aware of Killam’s history on “SNL,” expressed his admiration for Killam’s composure during the encounter with Ford, hinting at the bond they shared from their comedic years.
This light-hearted story not only highlights the relatable nature of celebrity encounters but also underscores the camaraderie and mutual respect among actors in the industry. It’s a reminder that even seasoned professionals can feel starstruck, making the entertainment world feel a bit more accessible to fans.
