Carrie Fisher suspects Harrison Ford ‘bugged’ by her affair revelation

-

CARRIE Fisher is sure Harrison Ford was annoyed with her for revealing they had an affair.

The 60-year-old actress — who plays the iconic Princess Leia in the ‘Star Wars’ movies — recently revealed that she and the Hollywood legend had an “intense” relationsh­ip during the making of ‘Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope’ in 1977.

Though she told Ford he could let her know if he wasn’t happy with any of the content of her autobiogra­phy, he didn’t but Fisher still suspects her indiscreti­on will have “bugged” him.

Fisher — who lifted the lid on their affair in her recently-published book ‘The Princess Diarist’ — said: “(Harrison) joked about sending for a lawyer, so he was aware of (the diaries) and I told him that if there was anything he didn’t like he should let me know.

“I sent them to him and waited for him to get back to me. He is incredibly private and I am sure the whole thing bugged him but he comes out of it well.”

Ford was married to his first wife, Mary Marquardt, during the time of his affair with Fisher, and the actress claimed she has been surprised by the reaction to her confession.

She also denied saying that Ford — who starred as Han Solo in the ‘Star Wars’ movies — is bad between the sheets.

The actress told ‘The Graham Norton Show’: “I had no idea it would cause such a sensation. 400,000 news sites picked up on it and it became a little embarrassi­ng.”

Ford also admitted she now feels guilty about taking her longrumour­ed romance with Ford — who is married to ‘Ally McBeal’ actress Calista Flockhart — public.

She commented: “I do feel guilty. I never thought about it before, but I guess he will be asked about the affair for the rest of his life!” — BANG Showbiz
