Julia Schlaepfer says Harrison Ford has 'best sense of humor'
Julia Schlaepfer praised the 'Indiana Jones' star for his sense of humor on the set while filming the series.
"He’s the funniest person alive," Schlaepfer, 29, said about Ford, with whom she spent much of the time.
"We all spent so much time together, and he just has the best sense of humor," she said, per New York Post.
"He would joke with me all the time. He would … ask for my autograph and then crumple it up and throw it in the trash," she said.
"He would make fun of me, and I would make fun of him," she added.
Julia Schlaepfer calls Harrison Ford 'humble and cool'
Julia Schlaepfer added that the 'Air Force One' star respected his work and the people he was surounded with.
"He respects work so much and respects all the people who are working and is obviously so talented and a legend — but he’s just so humble and cool," Schlaepfer said.
"He’s somebody you just want to hang out with. He’s really a special person," she added.
'1923' follows 'Yellowstone' main character John Dutton’s (Kevin Costner) ancestors as they run their ranch in Montana during the titular time period.
Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara (Helen Mirren) must defend their land from politicians and elite suits, just as their descendant John Dutton did years later. Schlaepfer plays Alexandra in the series.
Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton) is their primary adversary.

Julia Schlaepfer also discussed her chemistry with her on-screen husband, Spencer Dutton, played by Brandon Sklenar.
"Taylor Sheridan and our casting director are so brilliant. We never met before we were cast and somehow they knew that it would just work," she said.
She added, "We both were like, ‘whoa!’ Like this is really something special. We got really lucky with that chemistry. And then we spent four months in Africa together, which also really helped because we were just around each other 24/7."
