As Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny opens up around the world, the stars continue to discuss the making of the fourth Indiana Jones sequel and here Phoebe Waller-Bridge reveals that while the process of making the film was serious business, that preparedness also allowed for plenty of fun.

“From the moment we met, it was s***head’s all round, we were taking the p*** out of each other all the time, and having a lot of fun. The most extraordinary thing about working with Harrison is that you’re definitely at work — in that his work ethic is so on point, and his discipline is so extraordinary — but because he’s that specific and the foundation of the work is really strong, the rest of it can be really fun. There were a lot of pranks… lots of pranks.”

Phoebe also took the opportunity to wear one of the Harrison Ford prosthetic masks and hide in his trailer to scare him.

“It scared the crap out of him, actually, even though that ‘actually’ is only represented by him blinking three times and saying, ‘Get the hell out of my trailer.’”

As reported by Entertainment Weekly: “About 20 minutes later, Ford returned the favor, sneaking up on Waller-Bridge while wearing the mask of her face. He even took the time to tie his shirt into a little bow to match her character’s outfit. When asked about this later, Ford fittingly doesn’t divulge details, demurring, ‘I didn’t think of it as a “prank.” But yes, I mean, we spent a lot of time fooling around.’”
