Harrison Ford has embarked on an extreme fitness regime for the new Indiana Jones film.
The 64-year-old is making every effort to get in shape to reprise his role as the adventuring archaeologist, 18 years after his last outing.
A source close to the actor is quoted as saying: "He's been furiously working out on the treadmills at a Los Angeles gym for about three hours a day to get in shape.
"He's on a strict high protein diet. He's eating lots of fish and vegetables. It's hard but he's already looking great for it. He wants to make sure Indiana is as tough as he always was."
Shortly after announcing he was to make a fourth film with director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas, Harrison insisted he was fit enough to perform his own stunts.
He said: "We need to move on for artistic reasons and obvious physical reasons but I feel fit to continue and bring the same physical action."
Harrison was also adamant he got to wield Indiana's famous whip.
Bosses wanted the weapon to be computer generated because of new film safety rules, but the actor branded the rule "ridiculous".

Thats the ticket, rip someone since they are getting older. Its great that Harrison Ford is getting in shape, not that he was ever in terrible shape to begin with. Looking forward to seeing this movie!
You knockers should take a look at your our fat lard asses before ripping on a guy, who even at 64, could still out run and out fight you all. Muhahha hahahaha hahahah!
Yep I totally agree watch the film first then make your comments...and who says Mr Ford wears dentures. Ageists so sad!
Ah, Harrison ... the badass who once stapled the famous hat to his head to prevent it from blowing off in an action sequence. The pathetic teens who mock your age today will be standing in line to buy tickets come May 2008, and whining that their feet hurt. I am content to lust from a distance, as your voice, attitude and the scar on your chin remain as sexy as ever.
