We all know Harrison Ford is a hero onscreen – (Indiana Jones or Han Solo, anyone?) – but did you know he's a hero in real life too? The actor had a chance to put his hero chops on full display this week, and what he did has people cheering with happiness and relief (that he didn't, you know, molest someone).
Actor Harrison Ford has usually played good guys.

So basically, Ford is the man in his movies... but did you know he's also kick-ass in real life?
Just like his characters, Ford is an ace pilot who flies both helicopters and planes. In fact, the actor once crashed a vintage two-seater airplane into a golf course due to engine failure. He sustained numerous injuries in the process but likely saved lives by not trying to return to the airport once he discovered the defect. A new meaning to taking one for the team...While the plane crash happened in 2015, Ford has also been pretty damn heroic this year.
