The "Indiana Jones" star previously described himself as a "battered old Ford," but still confessed he prefers to do his own stunts.

"I keep on coming back for more," he said in a previous interview, according to the Daily Mail. "If it doesn't look real on the screen then an audience does not believe what it sees."

This isn't the first time Ford has been injured on a movie set as he's pulled muscles and damaged a disc in his back in the past.

"Although I do my own running, jumping and falling," he said. "I always try to keep myself from being hurt. So I know what will work and what won't."

In a previous interview with the Daily News, Ford was asked whether he achieved everything he wanted to after 35 years in show business.

"Not yet," he said. "But I'm working on it."
