'Solo' Star Alden Ehrenreich Got Some Great Advice From Harrison Ford Ehrenreich told Entertainment Weekly that he reached out to the original Han Solo to discuss his upcoming role. "He said a great thing when I met him. 'Tell them I told you everything you needed to know, and that you can’t tell anyone.'" "I wanted to meet him because I just felt generally it wouldn’t be right to do the movie without some kind of contact with him, and I’m really glad I did." Ford's portrayal of Han Solo was the actor's first big acting break and one of his most iconic roles. "He was very, very supportive. And it’s just cool to have lunch with Harrison Ford."
