Harrison Ford interrupts Alden Ehrenreich's TV interview
Harrison Ford interrupted a television interview Alden Ehrenreich was doing with Entertainment Tonight this weekend.
Ehrenreich was talking about his portrayal of Han Solo, the young, intergalactic pilot and smuggler he plays in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Ford played an older version of the iconic character in four Star Wars blockbusters.
"The only thing better than one Han Solo is two. Harrison Ford dropped by @CameronMathison's interview and surprised #SoloAStarWarsStory star Alden Ehrenreich!" the Entertainment Tonight Twitter account teased Saturday.
The brief video shows Ehrenreich talking to a reporter when Ford walks in behind him with Solo director Ron Howard.
"Oh, my God!" Ehrenreich exclaimed.
"Get out of my chair. Get out of my life," Ford growled before shaking hands with and hugging the younger actor as Howard clapped and everyone in the room laughed.
Ford and Howard have been friends for decades after co-starring in the 1973 movie American Grafitti, which was helmed by Star Wars creator George Lucas.
Seann William Scott to star in 'Lethal Weapon' Season 3
Fox announced Sunday it has renewed its action-drama Lethal Weapon for a third season, but without Clayne Crawford, who starred in the first two seasons.
"We. Are. Back. #LethalWeapon has been renewed for Season 3 and we're SO EXCITED to welcome Seann William Scott to our Lethal family!" the show's Twitter account said.
Scott, who is known for his work in the American Pie film franchise, is joining the show as Crawford makes his exit. He is to play a new character opposite series regular Damon Wayans in the series based on the film franchise of the same name.
Crawford expressed gratitude for his job in an Instagram post last month and apologized for his on-set behavior, which ultimately led to his firing.
"The first reprimand was because I reacted with anger over working conditions that did not feel safe or conducive to good work under the leadership of a guest director and assistant director, who, in turn, were angry at my response. I met with human resources, I apologized for my part of the conflict, and I completed studio appointed therapy in October. I even shared a sizeable portion of my paycheck with one of the parties nvolved, per the instruction of the studio," he wrote. "The second reprimand happened just a few weeks ago during the episode I was directing. An actor on set felt unsafe because a piece of shrapnel from an effect hit him. It was an unfortunate event that happened in spite of all precautions and procedures being followed. I take responsibility for the incident, because I was in charge of the set."
Crawford praised all of his collaborators and insisted he would never intentionally jeopardize other people's jobs by causing the network to consider canceling the show.
"I am incredibly sorry if my passion for doing good work has ever made anyone feel less than comfortable on set or feel less than celebrated for their efforts. Furthermore, I apologize to all the crew and cast for any negative attention Lethal Weapon is receiving because of these incidents," he said.

Fox revives 'Last Man Standing' for 2018-19
Fox said Friday it has revived Tim Allen's sitcom Last Man Standing for the 2018-19 television season.
ABC canceled the show last year after six seasons, despite high ratings and a devoted fan-base, because the network was getting rid of its entire Friday night comedy block.
Returning with Allen for the new episodes on Fox are Nancy Travis, Jonathan Adams, Amanda Fuller, Christoph Sanders and Jordan Masterson. The series is about a church-going Colorado man who is married with three adult daughters and runs marketing for a chain of outdoor, sporting-goods outlets.
It is unclear whether LMS co-stars Hector Elizondo, Molly Ephraim and Kaitlyn Dever will be back for the seventh season, however.
"Excited?" Allen said in a statement Friday. "Team LMS was in the sixth inning, ahead by four runs, stands were packed and then for no reason, they call off the game. It leaves you sitting in the dugout, holding a bat and puzzled. Now we get the news from Fox that it's time to get back out on that diamond -- hell, yes, I'm excited! When I heard the offer to create more episodes of Last Man Standing, I did a fist pump so hard I threw my back out."
Allen credited the support from the series' fans for its revival.
"I could not be more grateful for the fans who wrote petitions and kept up the passion and incredible support for the show," Allen said. "And a fist pump, ouch, for Dana Walden and Gary Newman at Fox for not only listening to the fans, but for making the bold move to bring Last Man Standing back. I'm sure audiences will be curious to see what we look like after all these years. Oh, has it only been one year? Well, just goes to show you -- a lot can happen in a year."
"Last Man Standing ended too soon and the outcry from the fans has been deafening," Gary Newman and Dana Walden, chairmen and chief executive officers of Fox Television Group, said in a joint statement. "We've wanted to put the show back together since its final taping a year ago, and Tim never gave up hope either. Thanks to its millions of devoted viewers and the irrepressible Tim Allen, we haven't seen the last of Last Man Standing."
Fox made the announcement the day after canceling its sitcoms Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Last Man on Earth and The Mick.
