Cowgirl's Cowboys No 1 -- Harrison Ford - 2004-09-12 9:21 AM
Welcome to this week's 'Cowgirl's Cowboys'. This new weekly topic highlights male celebs who meet the 'Cowboy' requirements in my book. What does it take to be a cowboy? We're talking about manly men who kick ass and provide eye candy for the ladies. They look good even with tons of dirt or blood. Sorry Orlando Bloom. Although if you star in something like Black Hawk Down, I may be forced to reconsider.
Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford just sounds like a tough-guy name. His first name sounds like a last name, so he's obviously too tough for a normal name like John or Mike. And we all know who makes good trucks (hint: his name isn't Harrison Chevy).
And look at these roles. Heck, playing Han Solo or Indy is enough to make the Cowboy list. The fact that he was both was a contributing factor as to why Ford is Cowboy numero uno. I mean, what characters are more manly than Han and Indy? You've got a space cowboy thats on the run with his talking basketballing-playing dog. The bad thing about Star Wars is that Han is more appealing than Luke. You'd think a guy with a glowing sword and cool mental powers would make a Cowboy. Nope. Besides driving a cool ship, Han still manages to win the princess. Indy doesn't get to hook up with any princesses, but he did learn the hard way that Nazi chicks talk in their sleep. Thanks to Indiana Jones, men everywhere can instantly look sexy by donning a fedora. Brilliant. Both Han and Indy also get the shit beat out of them, which actually helps Ford's Cowboy score.
On top of that, he kicks ass in movies like Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, and Air Force One. I have yet to see Blade Runner, but my friends said they enjoyed it. Huge contrast to Working Girl, but that movie was cute too.
So congrats Mr. Ford, for being the first of a long list of Cowboys.
