Not such a scruffy-looking Nerf Herder after all! Carrie Fisher opens up about her 'wine-sodden' affair with Harrison Ford on set of Star Wars

• e-mail

Carrie Fisher has opened up about a three-month affair she enjoyed with her then-married co-star Harrison Ford on the 1976 London set of Star Wars.

The 60-year-old actress was only 19 when she first slept with the 74-year-old Oscar nominee, who had offered to drive her home because she was 'wine sodden' after director George Lucas' birthday party. 

According to Radar Online's excerpt from her third memoir The Princess Diarist, Fisher thought the then 34-year-old father-of-two was not a very good lover.

'It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.'

Even after sex, the Family Guy funnywoman felt insecure in Ford's arms, but she trusted 'something about him.'
