How Harrison Ford Got His Iconic Chin Scar

Harrison Ford stumbled out of the car after he'd slammed his face against the steering wheel. His chin was bleeding badly, and his car was in the middle of the road, but no one stopped to help him. "They would just creep around me at 5 miles an hour and keep on going," he told Vanity Fair. "I was just standing in the road, bleeding quite profusely. And it pissed me off so much that no one would stop that I refused to gesture to ask them. So I just stood there until somebody finally stopped, took me to the hospital."

At the hospital, the resident who sewed up the gash on his chin didn't do a great job. Ford later quipped that he had used paper clips instead of sutures on the wound.
