Harrison Ford finally addressed his long-standing conflict with Brad Pitt during the making of 1997 movie, The Devil's Own.

Ford, 80, who is currently busy promoting his upcoming, highly-anticipated film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, spoke to Esquire about his iconic career in Hollywood.

Addressing his career’s highs and lows, the Star Wars actor reflected over the on-set conflict with Brad Pitt while filming the 1997 action-thriller.

"Brad developed the script. Then they offered me the part. I saved my comments about the character and the construction of the thing -- I admired Brad," Ford shared.

Ford went on to add, “I admire Brad. I think he’s a wonderful actor. He’s a really decent guy,” and added, “but we couldn’t agree on a director until we came to Alan Pakula, who I had worked with before [on 1990’s Presumed Innocent] but Brad had not.”

“Brad had this complicated character, and I wanted a complication on my side so that it wasn’t just a good-and-evil battle. And that’s when I came up with the bad-shooting thing,” Harrison Ford stated.

Although, Ford admitted that he holds The Devil’s Own in high regard. “Each of us had different ideas about it. I understand why he wanted to stay with his point of view, and I wanted to stay with my point of view — or I was imposing my point of view, and it’s fair to say that that’s what Brad felt. It was complicated. I like the movie very much. Very much,” he said.
