Carrie Fisher gives foul-mouthed interview at Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere
STAR WARS’ Carrie Fisher proved she is in no way a princess at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere, by dropping several 'S bombs'.
The 59-year-old, who shot to fame as Jabba the Hutt’s slave in that gold bikini, let the expletives flow as she gave a live interview with fellow cast mate Oscar Isaac.
When asked about what inspired her to return to the role, she answered: ”I asked the early, young Carrie Fisher what it would be like 48 years later... oh wait it's 40.
"She wouldn't speak to me. She was very busy, partying and making sure I would look like s**t later."
Carrie then tried to correct herself but kept the swear words coming thick and fast: "I don't mean s**t. By s**t I mean not as good as."

Amused onlookers and the Drive actor laughed while she fumbled over her words, clearly flustered by her slip up.
The actress - who was just 21 when she first played Princess Leia in the much-loved franchise - definitely dressed to impress for the star-studded event, which was held at the TCL Chinese Theatre.
She showed off her enviable legs in a blue velvet dress, which had a thigh-high slit, that she seemed keen to show off.
Carrie teamed the tight-fitting number with a diamante statement necklace and a pair of equally as dazzling earrings.
She then finished off her look with a pair of open-toe sandals and a patterned jacket, which she held open at one point to show off her fabulous outfit.
Carrie was also joined by her 23-year-old daughter, Billie Lourd, at the much-talked about premiere, with her also looking incredible in a short striped dress, which she teamed with a bejewelled waist belt and a pair of patent black heels.
Her red carpet appearance comes after she recently spoke out about having to shed 35lbs to play the part of Luke Skywalker's sister in the forthcoming reboot of the movie, produced and directed by director J.J. Abrams, of Star Trek and Lost fame.
Speaking to Good Housekeeping Magazine, she said: “They don’t want to hire all of me – only about three-quarters! Nothing changes, it’s an appearance-driven thing."
“I’m in a business where the only thing that matters is weight and appearance. That is so messed up. They might as well say get younger, because that’s how easy it is," she continued.
The Hollywood icon says that the film industry places impossible standards on its leading women and that the concept of inner-beauty is overshadowed by superficial glamour.
She added: “We treat beauty like an accomplishment and that is insane. Everyone in LA says, ‘Oh you look good,’ and you listen for them to say you’ve lost weight.
“It’s never ‘How are you?’ or ‘You seem happy!’"
