After Mackie referenced eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on set with Ford, the actor said, “All day, all day,” when asked whether Ford enjoys the classic sandwich. “That’s what we had, when you’re in the thick of it out in the bushes shooting these movies, fighting off ticks and squirrels,” he added. “They just bring out the PB&Js to make you happy.”
