Harrison Ford has accused Donald Trump of being unable to tell fact from fiction, saying his role as the US President in Air Force One was "a movie".

The Presidential hopeful had told the New York Times he enjoys films with heroic presidents.

"My favourite was Harrison Ford on that plane. I love Harrison Ford," the 69-year-old said. "He stood up for America."

Mr Ford explained what he thought of Mr Trump's remarks to Australia's Studio 10.

"Donald," the Star Wars star says, before turning to camera. "It was a movie. It's not like this in real life.

"But, how would you know?"

Over 380,000 people have signed a petition to ban Mr Trump from entering the UK after he called for a "complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States".
