Carrie Fischer: Don't Out C3PO

Carrie Fisher appeared on out British comedian Alan Carr's show yesterday.

The camp comic was thrilled to have the American star, famous for playing Princess Leia, on his sofa. She had come on to plug the new Star Wars movie, out next year. But Carr, 37, caused a stir when he suggested having a role in the film himself. He said: “Could I be C3PO? I’d make a really good one. "He’s a bit gay.” Shocked Carrie, 57, told him: “You can say that but I’m not going there. "Don’t out C3PO.” Then she suggested that the Chatty Man was too porky to be the robot.

A promo clip appears to have removed the outing comments.
