There were rumours that Chris Pratt might take over the role of Indiana Jones in an upcoming movie.

But Harrison Ford put those claims to rest when he appeared on the Today show on Friday morning.

The 76-year-old Illinois native said that if he has it his way, he will be the only actor who will ever play the adventurous professor of archaeology. 'Don't you get it? I'm Indiana Jones. When I'm gone, he's gone. It's easy,'' said the husband of actress Calista Flockhart.

Ford seemed to mistake Chris Pine for Chris Pratt when he added: 'This is a hell of a way to tell Chris Pine this. I’m sorry, man.'

Pratt is best known for playing an Indiana Jones type swashbuckler in Jurassic World and its sequel.

He is the first actor who seems like he could take on the role of the smart yet cocky Jones.
