The 'Indiana Jones' star - who is dating former 'Ally McBeal' actress Calista Flockhart - has no problem asking for directions if he loses his way, and thinks people should follow his example.
He said: "I like asking for directions, I find it a little bit frustrating that most people don't know where they are, or how to give directions anymore. Why do I like asking for directions? Because, I hate wasting time."
Harrison, 66, never lets his fame stop him from approaching strangers, even though some people are stunned by his celebrity status.
He added to Outside magazine: "When you're out of the expected context for famous people, the first reaction is normally, 'Oh no, it's not ? what would he be doing here?'
"And then if you're not gone in the next 10 minutes, they start investigating their interest. But if you're moving along and not drawing attention to yourself or sitting around too long, you can pretty much go anywhere. I can."
