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."

Either you're a baby or a wrinkled old hag. There is no in between. Choose wisely.

I'm trying to play matchmaker for grandpa, but I think you need another 1/2 century of seasoning for his tastes.

He's already married. laugh out loud Sure, they never have sex and they always fight over what's for dinner, but at least he has someone! Whee


And yeah, I probably would. I'd also have to be willing, too. So there are two complications with this scenario, but nice try. Wink
