Glenmorangie's Harrison Ford campaign claims top prize at awards
Judges handed the Once Upon a Time in Scotland campaign the gold award in the Design Excellence category for its 'authentic approach and witty tone'. The campaign was released earlier in 2025 and is directed by Joel Edgerton. It tells the story of Ford reluctantly shooting a film in the Highlands for the brand before eventually being won over by Glenmorangie's whisky, its craft and the people who make it. The awards celebrate the best of Scotland's design and creativity and judges said of One Upon a Time in Scotland: 'It pokes fun at itself with Scotch whisky tropes and Harrison Ford being himself – a match made in heaven. It is stylish and grounded.' Glenmorangie President and CEO Caspar MacRae said: 'Once Upon a Time in Scotland sets out to tell Glenmorangie's authentic story in a fresh and witty way – and we are so pleased that our brand campaign has resonated with judges at the Scottish Design Awards. Read More 'It has been truly inspirational to work with a talent such as Harrison Ford to showcase Glenmorangie, the world's most highly awarded Highland single malt. We hope that this campaign will continue to amuse and delight whisky drinkers around the world for a long time to come.' Speaking at the time it was released, The Hollywood legend said: "I loved working with the team at the distillery — they were all great. The whole process of filming was full of unanticipated joys: little unexpected moments. "It's a tribute to Glenmorangie's sensibilities that they let us be less than totally serious. I think what Joel has produced has a certain charm to it, because it's unpretentious and just amusing.'

When was the last time you found a sex scene sexy?
Back in the day, the actress Greta Scacchi had something of a reputation for 'getting her kit off' on camera. That was the term we all used in the 1990s, and it wasn't so much sexist as highlighting a terribly British, jolly hockeysticks approach to sex. Come on, old thing. Last one to the marital bedchamber's a lemon, that sort of thing. The term popped back into my head this week for the first time in years. Scacchi, a very good actress as well as a paragon of soft-focus eroticism, has been back in the news, telling Radio Times that she finds modern sex scenes, 'the explicit rutting stuff' as she calls it, deeply unsettling. At the height of Scacchi's career – when she appeared with Tim Robbins in The Player, with Charles Dance in White Mischief and with Harrison Ford in Presumed Innocent – everything was very gentle, 'made to look beautiful and slowed down' as Scacchi said. Sex on screen at the time tended to be heralded by a bit of light jazz (often a saxophone) and conducted with tasteful arrangements of Egyptian cotton, the actor's modesty often artfully concealed. Was this good sex? Not exactly – it was inoffensive, and almost as laughable as the act itself, despite the general degree of decorum. Except we now know from the era that such scenes were not always very nice for those involved. While Scacchi was unscathed, there must have been plenty of actresses who had horrible experiences. Julia Roberts has always demanded that anything sexy be toned down, but few women have her clout. There is no doubt that any on-screen nudity from that era, no matter how convivial the circumstances, was all at the behest of a middle-aged director who was either fulfilling their fantasies or had an eye on the commercial big time. In the cold light of day, these old sex scenes feel like part of a wider power trip. Things have changed, as Scacchi points out, but the drift away from the fluffy loveliness of the 1990s has not been straightforward. You would imagine that in the wake of the Me Too movement sex scenes might not have much of a place in film and television, but this is not the case. Indeed, it often feels like there is more sex on screen than ever before, and that modern phenomenon, the intimacy co-ordinator, has their work cut out ensuring that sensitive thespians are entirely comfortable with making the beast with two backs. The end result is not neutered but often quite violent (think of Tom Hollander and Leo Woodall in The White Lotus or Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa in Game of Thrones) which makes you wonder whether the majority of intimacy co-ordinators are, essentially, sado-masochists. Of course, they, as well as the directors and probably the actors, may well suggest that the end result is due to a sort of artistic quest, a search for emotional truth, but ultimately such scenes seem hardly less ridiculous than those carried out with soft-lighting and a burst of Kenny G. In the worst cases, the sex scenes of today veer dangerously close to pornography, which makes you wonder why the hell the actors agreed to do them in the first place. The truth is that most sex scenes are unnecessary, and it is not as if they are even serving the dirty mac brigade. I remember hearing stories of Channel 4's infamous red triangle; a warning given at the start of any programme during the mid-1980s that included risqué content, and a fillip for the lonely men of the nation (I imagine it was mainly men whose interest was piqued by the promise of a piece of mid-1970s Swedish arthouse erotica). Such needs are now pointless given that we can all seem the most extreme sexual acts on the internet. So is there ever any need for sex on screen? I would suggest that the old cliché about such shenanigans being 'integral to the plot' is only occasionally true, and usually the most effective sex scenes are not about sex at all. I dread to mention Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris (1972) because we now know that Maria Schneider was treated abominably by the director who had decided not to tell her what Marlon Brando was about to do with a tub of Lurpak. But if we set aside the fact that Schneider was essentially being forced into filming a simulated rape while an entire crew watched her, it is a very effective scene which shows the extent to which someone who is incredibly damaged (Brando's character Paul) will try and make someone as damaged as they are (Schneider's character Jeanne). Then there is its near-contemporary Don't Look Now (1973), Nic Roeg's masterpiece about a couple (played by Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie) who travel to Venice after their daughter's death. What we would now call something naff like 'the grieving process' is punctuated by supernatural sightings and the most famous sex scene in history which seems to last a lifetime. It is tasteful, but unlike the noodling of 90s erotica, it feels psychologically real, as two people remain unable to articulate their lingering pain through words. There was no such thing as an intimacy co-ordinator in 1973; and it is telling that Roeg remained friends with both actors. Above all, he managed to do the undoable – he made a film that was actually sexy. The intimacy co-ordinators of today with their dreams of 'explicit rutting' should go back to their day jobs.

And they said Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart wouldn't last! Joy of raising an adopted son has helped forge one of Hollywood's strongest marriages
When Harrison Ford started dating Calista Flockhart in 2002 they were met with a sea of skepticism due to their significant 22-year age gap. Despite this, the ultra-private couple have gone on to forge one of the most successful marriages in Hollywood even after his previous reputation as a womanizer. Harrison has three marriages under his belt and even had a three-month affair with Carrie Fisher while filming the first Star Wars movie in 1976 while he was married to Mary Marquardt. But after finding love with Calista, 60, Indiana Jones icon Harrison, now 82, has settled down into a life of married bliss after they tied the knot in 2010. Calista and Harrison - who have a son called Liam, 24, - met at the 2002 Golden Globes, and by the following year, they were living together and Harrison announced he was 'in love' with her, via Hello! magazine. 'Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love and I think there is a potential for it at any stage of your life,' he said at the time. When Harrison Ford started dating Calista Flockhart in 2002 they were met with a sea of skepticism due to their significant 22-year age gap 'I was not surprised that I was able to fall in love, and I wasn't surprised that I did,' added the Indiana Jones icon, who was then 60. Calista remarked then that their age gap didn't faze her, explaining: 'Sometimes I even say: 'Wow, I keep forgetting that he's 22 years older than me".' She insisted: 'It doesn't factor into our relationship at all. I like the way he looks first thing in the morning. It's not handsome, it's more cute. He looks like a little boy.' Notably, Harrison and Calista have never worked together onscreen despite having been romantically involved with one another for over two decades. 'That's just the circumstantial reality where we haven't been offered something where we'd work together,' he told Us Weekly this February, adding that he would 'love to' work with her. It has previously been revealed that their initial meeting was controversial in itself. They first crossed paths at the awards show in 2002, but rumors later swirled that she purposely spilled wine on the actor, so that they could talk to one another - something she has vehemently denied. And their first date was far from ordinary too, since the Ally McBeal star made her friend and costar James Marsden accompany her - which meant the three of them enjoyed an awkward dinner together before going back to Harrison's house for some drinks. Harrison was 60 and Calista was 38 when they first started dating, and many were quick to slam the unlikely pairing - but it seems keeping this marriage fairly private has meant it has stood the test of time. Harrison was married twice before he met Calista. His first marriage was to Mary, whom he met in college. They tied the knot in 1964, and welcomed two sons together - Benjamin in 1966 and Willard in 1969. But after he was propelled into the spotlight during the '70s - thanks to his role as Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise - a slew of cheating allegations started to make their way around the web. Carrie later confirmed that she had a whirlwind, three-month affair with the actor while they were making the George Lucas film series, and he and Mary ultimately split in 1979. He then went on to wed screenwriter Melissa Mathison in 1983, and together, they welcomed a son, named Malcolm, in 1987, and a daughter, named Georgia, in 1990. But that too didn't last, and they separated in 2000, with their divorce finalized four years later. That's when Calista entered the picture. She and Harrison first crossed paths at the Golden Globes in 2002. At the time, he was 60 years old and she was 38, and he was still in the midst of divorcing Melissa. While reports initially claimed that she purposely spilled her drink on the actor so that they could talk to each other, she later cleared the air on what really went down the first time that they met. 'We were having a conversation for maybe 20 minutes before the wine spilled, and the truth is, Harrison spilled the wine,' she told Hello! magazine. Calista - who had just adopted her infant son, Liam - explained that they both knew who the other was, but that neither of them were looking for a relationship. She was focused on motherhood, and 'didn't think' much about their interaction. 'I remember loving him in Mosquito Coast, but I didn't really think about him,' she continued. Even so, they eventually decided to go on a date - but it wasn't as romantic as you might think because James acted as a third wheel. The actor spoke out about the endeavor during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and he said explained that Calista had asked him to tag along. They all had dinner together before Harrison invited her over to his house for drinks, but again, she asked if James could come too. 'Really?' he recalled thinking. 'I don't wanna get my a** kicked by Han Solo.' He didn't share any other details about the date, but Harrison and Calista must have hit it off, because they made their first official appearance as a couple at the 59th Venice Film Festival that September. As soon as news hit the web that Harrison and Calista were dating, many people were outraged by their enormous 22-year age gap. Even so, it didn't seem to defer them. In 2003, Calista addressed their difference in age to People magazine, stating, 'It doesn't faze me.' She also insisted that she was still attracted to him despite being in his late 60s, adding, 'I like the way he looks first thing in the morning. It's not handsome, it's more cute. He looks like a little boy.' During the interview, Harrison gave some rare insight into their romance, explaining that they bonded over their mutual passion for flying. 'Calista loves to fly, and I'm thrilled because it's so important to me and it's the kind of thing that's so much more fun with somebody who really enjoys it,' he revealed. '[Her son] Liam loves to fly. Calista likes the process, she likes what she sees from the air, she likes seeing me happy. 'I think a lot of it has to do with that she loves to see me doing something that I love.' The actor also encouraged others to not give up on looking for love. While Calista had previously stated that their age-gap was not something that she paid attention to, she admitted during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2015 that there was one thing that made it obvious they were years apart - their stance on technology. She revealed that Harrison was just 'learning' how to text and was 'getting better,' but that he couldn't understand how to use emojis. 'He says, 'Where'd you get that picture from?'' she said, referring to whenever she would use an emoji. 'It's really bad.' After seven years together, Harrison got down on one knee and asked Calista to marry him on Valentine's Day in 2009. The two officially became husband and wife in June 2010, during an intimate ceremony in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Harrison also legally adopted Liam. The pair have stayed pretty tight-lipped about their relationship over the years. However, while speaking to Reader's Digest in 2008, Harrison spoke out about his wife's amazing parenting. 'She's the best mother in the world,' he gushed. 'She's a mother by choice - she adopted Liam before we met, as a single parent, which is an awesome responsibility to take. 'She's devoted herself to Liam and has done a really wonderful job raising him. I'm happy to now have a part of the job.' The actor explained that he was delighted to be raising a child again, since his kids were all mostly grown by the time they met. 'She's brought a child back into my home. My youngest, other than Liam, is 17,' he continued. 'It's a wonderful opportunity to be part of a child's growing up, which is always an endless springtime. You see the blossoming and the growing and the nurturing and the payoff.' Then in March 2015, Harrison got into a horrifying, near-death plane crash - when his vintage aircraft hit into an LA golf course after suffering from an engine malfunction - and his wife hardly ever left his side throughout his recovery. 'Calista arrived at the ER shortly after Harrison. She looked concerned and stayed with Harrison until late last night,' a source told People at the time. 'This morning, she drove [their son] Liam to school and then straight to the hospital. She is still at the hospital now.' Afterwards, she reflected on the 'really hard, scary time' to the outlet, explaining that Harrison suffered 'critical injuries' and that it made them 'appreciate every second' they have together. 'I think it just makes you realize once again that life can turn on a dime, and we just have to appreciate every second we're here, because you never know,' she said. He later revealed that his wife told him she was never going to get into a vintage plane with him again after the crash, while admitting that it 'was really hard on their family.' This week Calista looked frail as she was seen on a rare solo public outing. The star, who was snapped kissing her husband on the NYC subway in April, went make-up free and donned a trucker cap as she headed out in LA. Flockhart looked near-unrecognizable as she swept her hair back from her face and wore a casual look of a sweater and baggy jeans over her thin frame. She later covered up her face with a black mask. The star was last seen on a red carpet with her Indiana Jones icon husband Ford back in October 2024. Last year, Calista - who is Harrison's third wife - joked that he was 'afraid' of her, during an appearance on Live! With Kelly And Mark. Shortly before, Harrison had been honored with a lifetime achievement gong at the Critics' Choice Awards, where he praised his wife from the stage. 'I want to thank my lovely wife, Calista Flockhart, who supports me when I need a lot of support - and I need a lot of support,' he said. Calista later remarked that the award was 'an emotional thing' and she was 'very proud,' as her husband's 'body of work is so incredible and it's so well-deserved.'

Mark Hamill sparks outrage after charging Star Wars fans 'sickening' amount for autographs
Star Wars legend Mark Hamill has shocked fans with the 'sickening' amount he is charging for his autograph. The acclaimed actor, 73, who famously played Luke Skywalker in the classic George Lucas films alongside Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, is charging up to $700 a pop to scribble his signature on various items. A photo shared on Reddit exposed the eye-watering fees for Hamill's signature, sparking controversy in the comments. According to the snap, which was taken at a FanExpo event, the star is charging $400 to sign an 8x10 photo, while it costs $500 for a premium autograph. Meanwhile, a 'bulky' autograph – on a action figure or other similar merchandise - will set fans back a hefty $700. Outraged fans took to Reddit to complain about Hamill's prices, with one going as far as saying they've lost respect for him. One said: 'I wouldn't pay $400 for a meet and greet with my favorite celebrity, much less an autograph.' Agreeing, another said: 'I wouldn't pay $400 to sleep with my favorite celebrity.' 'Love Mark, but gotta say I've lost a little respect for him for this,' wrote a third. 'I know he's not the only one, and people have to make a living, but come on.' A fourth blasted: 'This is sickening.' 'I'll never quite understand paying for an autograph,' another quipped. 'Looking at a framed Luke Skywalker, ah remember when I paid 500 bucks at some convention hall to sign this! What a fun memory!' Others, however, defended Hamill and reasoned that his sky-high prices will deter crazed fans. 'I feel like this would just filter out the normal non-weird fans,' one pointed out. Another said: 'Sometimes people set these high prices because they don't really want to do it. At his age, with his popularity, it might be a way to set the pace.' But others were critical of this idea, with one slamming: 'Then don't do it? It's such a scummy practice.' Outraged fans took to Reddit to complain about Hamill's prices, with one going as far as saying they've lost respect for him Earlier this month, Hamill revealed his future in the iconic franchise after nearly 50 years playing Luke Skywalker. In an interview with Willie Geist, he said he won't be back for the new Star Wars film starring Daisy Ridley but is adamant he did not quit. He said: 'Well, let me say: they haven't asked me. It's not like they said, "Please come back." 'I don't want to make a big PR pronouncement like "This is my decision."' 'I'm just saying that it really felt like a conclusion. My character was given complete closure. I died, ironically by overdosing on the Force, I might point out.' Hamill starred as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy, which also included 1980's Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back and 1983's Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. He then reprised the role again in 2015's the Force Awakens. In the 2017 film The Last Jedi, Luke dies at the end, melding with The Force. He put on the mantel for what appeared to be the final time in 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, as Luke's spirit. Hamill said completing the Skywalker trilogy allowed for other adventures under the Star Wars umbrella. 'It was a whole new era for them,' he explained. 'George [Lucas] gave them this amazing canvas, the entire galaxy. They can do westerns, mysteries, comedies, whodunits, anything within that realm of Star Wars,' he said. 'And they're doing so well,' he added. 'I love Rogue One, Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett.' Hamill made brief appearances in both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett as Luke with the help of de-aging and motion capture effects. 'I had my time,' he said of his tenure in the 'galaxy far, far away.' 'I'm really appreciative, but I'm really looking to the future for all these new projects.' Hamill made headlines in late May when he told 'I left my robes behind. And there's no way I'm gonna appear as a naked force ghost.'
