Carrie Fisher Takes Break From Star Wars 8 To Meet Her Princess Leia Waxwork
Carrie Fisher was reunited with her nemesis earlier todayĀ while visitingĀ Madame Tussauds Londonās Star Wars experience, and no, weāre not talking about Jabba The Hutt.
Weāre talking about that infamous Slave Leia costume, the gold bikini that Fisher once described as: āwhat supermodels will eventually wear in the seventh ring of hellā.
The 59-year-old actress was taking in the sights during some well-earned time off from filmingĀ āStar Wars: Episode VIIIā here in London when she came face to face with her likeness, which is based on her characterās appearance in 1983ā²s āReturn of the Jediā.
The revealing costume has often drawn criticism and it was recently revealed that Disney was starting to phase the look out from āStar Warsā marketing materials.Ā
- Slave Leia Bikini Sold At Auction
- Rogue One Headed For Reshoots
- Han Solo Film Sets Shoot Date
In October 2015 the original costume sold at auction for an eye-watering Ā£63,000 although itās unlikely the bidder would ever want to don the bikini themselves as itās famously difficult to wear.
āI had to tape them [my breasts] down, because thereās no underwear in space. George [Lucas, creator] knows that for a fact,ā Fisher once said.
āWhen I laid down, the metal bikini stayed up. So Boba Fett could see all the way to Florida.ā
Fisher was accompanied at Madame Tussauds by her French bulldog Gary, whose tongue was wagging at the site of Jabba, Salacious Crumb, and Princess Leia.
Gary became a star in his own right during the press tour forĀ āStar Wars: The Force Awakensā and he even has his own parody Twitter account.
