Harrison Ford’s wife Calista Flockhart earns the name ‘scare monster’ at home

Los Angeles, Jan 29 : Actress and Harrison Ford’s wife Calista Flockhart is called the "scare monster" at home because she cant resist playing practical jokes on her husband but Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star isnt afraid to get his own back on her.

"Im called the Scare Monster in my house because I hide behind every corner," Flockhart told the New York Times newspaper.

"And so Harrison will walk in, and then Ill go, Raaah! And hell go, W-uy-aah! And then I die laughing.

Ill put a plastic spider inside his big ice cubes in the tray, and then hell drink it.But then Ill go to bed two weeks later, and hes out of town in Jackson, and Ill take the covers down and theres this little rubber scorpion.Its fun."

The Feud star thinks the key to their long-lasting romance is that she was "really content being home" as a full-time mom to son Liam, now 22, and she and Harrison can be "very independent" - much to the occasional dismay of the 81-year-old actor, reports aceshowbiz.com.

She said: "I didnt have the same dreams at the time, so we werent competing with each other.Were very independent of each other in some ways.

and probably incredibly codependent on each other in others."

"It scares him, I think, sometimes.

When I first met him, he said, You are the most self-sufficient woman in the world, and I dont know how I feel about that. I remember I said, What are you talking about? Because I didnt recognise I was self-sufficient."

“The other reason it works is, were both pretty introverted.

We stay home a lot, homebodies, which is nice."

The former Ally McBeal star had adopted her son a year before she met Ford, who has four other kids from two previous marriages, and she thinks he has "evolved" into a good father over the time they have been together.

She said: "I think he was a really good father in a lot of ways, and maybe because he was on Round 2 or Round 3, so he had matured and grown up and, I think, evolved into being a good father.Hes such a good father to his kids now.I love his kids, my stepkids."

Despite their happiness, Flockhart said marriage isnt easy.

She said: "Weve had to work.Weve had our ups, weve had downs like everybody else - mostly ups, which is good - and we just stay together.

Hes the person that I want to call when something happens.That knee-jerk thing where I have to call Harrison.
