Savannah Guthrie has interviewed presidents, world leaders, and Hollywood\u2019s biggest stars \u2014 but even seasoned journalists aren\u2019t immune to being a little starstruck.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the October 20 episode of NBC\u2019s Today<\/em> show, the 53-year-old anchor shared a lighthearted confession during a conversation with Watch What Happens Live<\/em> host Andy Cohen: she once tried to \u201cflirt\u201d with Harrison Ford during an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Starstruck Moment on Live TV<\/span><\/h3>\n

When Cohen asked Guthrie if she ever gets starstruck, she admitted, \u201cYes, a lot. A lot of times I get very giddy, like a schoolgirl.\u201d Without hesitation, she brought up her memorable interview with Ford, 83, recalling, \u201cI mean, I literally, I feel like the whole interview was me trying to flirt with him \u2018cause I love him so much. I feel he was receptive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As the Today<\/em> team displayed a photo of Guthrie and Ford from a past appearance, she added with a smile, \u201cHe was very nice. I look so happy in that picture because he was Han Solo \u2014 such a legend. I just love him so much.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Cohen jokingly replied, \u201cYou\u2019re Calista-adjacent,\u201d referencing Ford\u2019s wife, actress Calista Flockhart. Guthrie laughed, \u201cI mean, right?! I mean he was receptive,\u201d before quickly clarifying, \u201cI\u2019m joking.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Playful Banter with the Co-Hosts<\/span><\/h3>\n

Cohost Carson Daly couldn\u2019t resist teasing Guthrie, pointing out, \u201cYou were like that with Richard Gere the other day.\u201d Guthrie agreed, adding Kevin Costner and Duran Duran\u2019s Simon Le Bon to her list of celebrities who left her flustered. \u201cI do like to get my flirt on,\u201d she said with a laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just days earlier, on October 16, Richard Gere, 76, had joined the Today<\/em> hosts on the couch, prompting cohost Craig Melvin to joke, \u201cIt\u2019s hard for Savannah to keep her concentration right now.\u201d Sitting next to Gere, Guthrie quipped, \u201cIs it getting hot in here?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Harrison Ford: A Hollywood Original<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ford, who has appeared on Today<\/em> numerous times, last sat down with Guthrie in 2023 to discuss his Yellowstone<\/em> prequel series 1923<\/em>. Though celebrated as one of Hollywood\u2019s most enduring stars, Ford has often downplayed his heartthrob status.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a 1998 PEOPLE<\/em> interview \u2014 the year he was named \u201cSexiest Man Alive\u201d \u2014 Ford wryly commented, \u201cWhy this sudden outpouring for geezers? I never feel sexy. I have a distant relationship with the mirror.\u201d He even poked fun at his looks, noting, \u201cI\u2019ve got a completely imbalanced, irregular face and a nose that\u2019s been broken three or four times. One eye is higher than the other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite early skepticism from Hollywood executives \u2014 one even suggested he change his name and get an Elvis-style haircut \u2014 Ford trusted his instincts and went on to define an era of American cinema, from Star Wars<\/em> to Indiana Jones<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lighthearted, Human, and Unfiltered<\/span><\/h3>\n

Guthrie\u2019s candid confession offered fans a glimpse of the warmth and authenticity that have made her a beloved morning show fixture. Her mix of professionalism and genuine enthusiasm often brings a relatable charm to her interviews \u2014 even when the guest across from her happens to be one of Hollywood\u2019s most iconic figures.<\/span><\/p>\n

And while she may joke about \u201cflirting\u201d on national television, Guthrie, married to communications consultant Michael Feldman since 2014, continues to bring humor and heart to the Today<\/em> show \u2014 one celebrity interview at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n
