LABEOUF WON'T REPLACE HARRISON FORD

Harrison Ford And Shia LaBeouf

Hollywood icon Harrison Ford is denying media reports that his Indiana Jones sidekick sexy Shia LaBeouf will replace his role as the action hero in a new installment of the famous franchise film. LaBeouf starred alongside the 66-year-old actor as the whip-cracker’s young friend Mutt Williams. Harrison is insisting there are no plans for the young star to take on the role he made famous, despite the open ending in summer hit Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Ford brushed off the rumors, sparked after he passed the archaeologist’s trademark hat to LaBeouf’s character, alluding to the switch. He tells Moviefone: "No, that’s never been (the idea)… I think it just doesn’t work that way. And there’s definitely a distinction between passing the fedora and someone picking it up."
