BILLIE KEEN TO CARRIE ON ACTING

CARRIE Fisher’s daughter Billie Lourd appears in Ticket To Paradise: the George Clooney/ Julia Roberts romcom which has delayed its release until next week following the death of the Queen.

Lourd plays Wren, who’s best friends with Lily (Kaitlyn Dever), the daughter of Clooney and Roberts’ bickering divorced couple. The actress, whose father is American talent agent Bryan Lourd, describes herself as ‘the ultimate third-wheel queen’. ‘I grew up with the funniest woman of all time — my mom! — and so not being funny would just mean that I was not accepted in my family. So I needed to be funny to survive.’

Lourd, who is expecting her second child, was previously in the film Booksmart; and has just been announced as the lead in a forthcoming comedy called & Mrs, alongside Aisling Bea.

Ticket To Paradise opens in cinemas on Tuesday.
