Carrie Fisher was forced to lose 35 pounds before she could play Princess Leia again

What a cow....


Last month, Disney finally confirmed that Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher will reprise the roles of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII. But in a recent interview with The Telegraph, Fisher revealed that her Episode VII offer came with a major caveat: losing 35 pounds before filming began.

"They always hire not entirely me; they always want me minus anywhere between 10 pounds and 30 pounds to 40 pounds," said Fisher. "In this case I've been very cooperative. If I could've been as cooperative as I am in this situation in relationships, I'd be happily married. But I complied."

translation: the highest-profile gig i've had in the last ten years has been a recurring role in Family Guy, so they offered me a good chunk of money, and i agreed to lose the weight.

There's something seriously wrong with you, but then we've known that for a long time.

They were concerned with her weight and not her wrinkles?

Even after reading the title and OP, when I looked at the photo, I instead thought that's not Carrie Fisher but the person who played Mon Mothma and wow how she aged well and got some meat on the bones. laugh out loud

I'm more impressed with Matthew McConaughey, for the 47 lbs he lost for Dallas Buyer's Club...

You mean Skeletor? He isn't aging well no matter how much he gains or loses.
