The character is fittingly aged for the role (with Harrison Ford at 65) which matches the true age of the main actor, making the film and the character age equally. His age necessitates the addition of an assistant in the form of Shia LaBeouf. Rumors that a previous cast Sir Sean Connery would be called onto to again play the father of Indy have been unsubstantiated. He still does crazy stunts with his whip, gun and still jumps from high places. He gets punched, has phobias, makes jokes trips and falls as the movie portrays a character that one can relate to a movie character that is after all, human through and through.
