During a 2019 appearance on "The Late Late Show With James Corden," James Marsden spilled the tea about Flockhart's first date with Ford.

In the interview, he said she asked him to accompany her on the date because she didn't know Ford too well and she felt "safe" having Marsden around.

After they grabbed dinner, Marsden said Ford invited Flockhart back to his place for drinks, and Flockhart asked Marsden to come with them. However, Marsden said he was a little apprehensive about being a third wheel at Ford's house.

"I don't want to get my a-- kicked by Han Solo. Maybe I do," he joked.

When asked what Ford probably thought of him joining them at his place of residence, Marsden joked that Ford probably didn't think too highly of him, but since he was a fan and also wanted to do right by Flockhart, he decided not to leave.

Now, Marsden says he takes the credit for helping Flockhart and Ford get together.

"I take the credit for that," he joked.

In May 2023, Ford told Esquire that Flockhart was not a fan of him constantly using the F-bomb during interviews after The Hollywood Reporter published a story with a headline that used an explicit quote from Ford: “I Know Who the F*** I Am”

“F-----‘ A,” Ford told the magazine.

After glancing a smile, he added, “Hey, if you don’t mind, leave the ‘f-----’ A’ out. My wife is still giving me s--- about that Hollywood Reporter thing, and I’m trying not to say that too much.”
