Harrison Ford is one of Hollywood's most recognisable actors thanks to the likes of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises.

By the time he appeared in Star Wars as intergalactic bounty hunter Han Solo, Harrison had appeared in eight films, including uncredited roles in Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round, Luv and Zabriskie Point.

Thanks to the sci-fi hit, Harrison became a household name, but despite his newfound fame, the star was still able to appear unrecognisable in certain images. In one unearthed photo from 1978, the star resembled a teacher taking an end-of-year photo.

Even though the image came three years before Harrison took on the role of archaeological professor and adventurer Indiana Jones, he looked just like the famous explorer in his teaching days.

Harrison looked so different

The star, now aged 83, wore a denim jacket and blue and white collared shirt, alongside a pair of wide-rimmed glasses, which really separated him from his movie persona of Han.

Other vintage photos

Harrison has dozens of vintage photos lying around in the archives, including one where he showed off how much of a domestic god he was. In one image, he was seen vacuuming a furry rug in the living room, which adjoined a small, open-plan kitchen.

The room also featured a fireplace with a brick surround and printed tiles. In a third shot, Harrison was seen washing his dishes and loading his dishwasher, which appeared to be in a galley-style utility room or kitchen with pans hung from the walls.

Harrison knows his way around chores

However, his bachelor pad also came complete with a pool. Although Harrison wasn't seen chlorinating the pool or fishing out leaves, he was still seen enjoying the feature, capturing the sun's rays as he relaxed poolside on a wooden deckchair. A glass of water was seen next to him, in case he overheated during the warm months.

Despite being a bona fide Hollywood legend, Harrison is still getting his chores done! Speaking to Parade in 2020, he shared: "When I'm up in Wyoming, I just walk out the door and keep walking…if my chores are done and there's nothing more pressing and the weather's good, I'll go flying – I love to fly up there – or walk in the woods, do some work, ride my road bike or mountain bike."
