Harrison Ford: With all the globe-trotting, movie-promoting and whip-wielding, Harrison Ford clearly hasn't had time to visit a tailor lately.

Ford, 65, was caught with a rip in the seat of his pants outside the AMC Magic Johnson Theater in Harlem Wednesday.

There to promote his newest "Indiana Jones" film, Ford was also invited to appear on BET's music show "106 & Park," where he performed a few dance moves, according to the Daily Mail. Perhaps his hip-hop dancing explains the tear?

Ford appeared arm-in-arm with his long-time girlfriend, Calista Flockhart, 43, of ABC's "Brothers and Sisters."

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," which co-stars Cate Blanchett and Shia LeBeouf and is directed by Steven Spielberg, marks the fourth "Indy" installment and opens nationwide today.
