The Force was with him before he ever signed on to play Han Solo. 

This photo of a very young, very shirtless Harrison Ford was posted by musician Sergio Mendes on Facebook. He explained Ford was a carpenter when this photo was taken in 1970 and built Mendes' recording studio. 

"Chewie, we're home," Han Solo said in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

And we're right at home looking at this picture and drooling, amirite? 

It's already known Ford was a carpenter before hitting it big in Hollywood. 

He had worked with director George Lucas in "American Graffiti," but said in a Reddit AMA last year that the was offered the role as Han Solo after standing in for screen tests.

And we can't confirm this, but his abs probably helped, too.
