Harrison Ford's E.T. Cameo: Behind the Scenes

0:00On March 25, Henry Thomas, who played Elliot in the 1982 film ET, the extra terrestrial recently shared a fun behind-the-scenes secret. Harrison Ford filmed a cameo as the school principal, but the scene ended up on the cutting-room floor. Ford was dating the movie screenwriter, Melissa Matheson at the time, and he often visited the set as a friend of director Steven Spielberg. Spielberg kept pushing Ford to appear, and he finally agreed on one condition, no close-up of his base. Thomas remembered the excitement of working with Ford, especially since he was a huge Indiana Jones fan back then. When he first met Spielberg, Thomas even showed up with a bullwhip tied to his waist as a tribute. In the deleted scene, Elliot enters the principal's office while ET is drunk on beer back home. The alien's connection causes Elliot to levitate toward the ceiling, but he drops down Justice Ford's chair spins around, keeping the principal. Clueless. Disclimbs into ET.
