Harrison Ford revealed the secret behind his youthful looks after making his final appearance as Indiana Jones.
The actor, who turns 81 next month, reprises his role as the swashbuckling archaeologist in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which is the fifth instalment in the beloved film series.
The film had its premiere in London earlier this month and Harrison - who first played the character back in 1981 - has been promoting the movie in recent interviews.
This included a radio interview with his co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who plays his on-screen goddaughter Helena Shaw, which is set to be released this evening.

In a teaser clip, Sam is heard asking: "You're in great nick. [...] What are you using on your face in terms of creams?" Harrison is said to share that he uses "soap and water".
He's said to have revealed that he doesn't necessarily feel youthful, saying: "I don’t feel more youthful than anyone else. I feel my age and I understand my age and I understand what one does at this stage of your life."
During the interview, Harrison is said to have also been asked if he would be tempted to reprise the character again in the future but responded to Sam's question: "No".
He has stated elsewhere whilst promoting the new film that he won't appear as Indiana Jones again, after having played the character in four sequels since his debut.
