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."

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



No way you're younger than any of those chicks. Nono2

I dunno, are we talking model year or mileage along with lack of preventative maintenance?

Does it matter? I have a feeling both would yield you as being older.

Plenty of people plaster their whole lives in the lounge. You should ask them how those consequences turned out.

Good? I'm hoping for good.

(Did anyone get fired/divorced as a result?)

Before my time, apparently there was a couple on SD that had a very public divorce on here... I heard all about it. EEK!

I don't know if it's good... people post all about their problems, it always sounds bad to me. laugh out loud
