Los Angeles, March 17 (NationPress) Hollywood star Helen Mirren expresses her desire to undergo a DNA test to determine if she has a familial connection to Harrison Ford, citing their strong rapport while working together on 1923.

In an interview with People, she remarked: "Harrison and I share a unique bond. It feels like reconnecting with a best friend from college after decades—except it’s even better than that."

She continued, "I’m not sure if you sense the same, Harrison, but I truly feel this strange connection. Perhaps we should consider a DNA test; we might discover we are siblings or something along those lines."

The Oscar-winning actress last collaborated with Ford on 'The Mosquito Coast' back in 1986, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.

Ford responded, "Well, that adds to the peculiarity."

Mirren chimed in, "Perhaps we’re cousins; that would be even more amusing."

Ford reflected on their reunion nearly four decades after their initial meeting, noting the distinct chemistry that certain actors share on set, labeling it as "perfect casting" in the new series.

He stated, "The truth is, we met 40 or 50 years ago while filming 'Mosquito Coast'. Now, 40 years later, I’m told she’s on board, and I’m already confirmed too. Yet, here we are together. There are countless types of actors, each as unique as dentists, but when the fit is right, you can feel it—it's a flawless casting choice."
