Sir Jackie Stewart has revealed he helped Steven Spielberg get access to a famous location for one of his Indiana Jones movies – during a charity shooting event.
Reminiscing with the Princess Royal to raise awareness about his Race Against Dementia charity, the triple Formula One world champion said he put the Hollywood director in touch with a VIP who could help.
Spielberg was desperate to get permission to shoot the finale of Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade at the world famous site of Petra in Jordan – but had been denied permission.
The former racing driver told Anne, during their video call, the director and stars from the movie, Harrison Ford and Sir Sean Connery, took part in a charity clay pigeon shooting event he organised at Gleneagles in Scotland.
