'It was so intense' Carrie confirms she had sex with Harrison Ford

Carrie Fisher has dropped a major bombshell!

The actress has revealed she and her co-star Harrison Ford had a three-month affair during filming for Star Wars: A New Hope.

"It was so intense," the 60-year-old actress revealed to People magazine in a new interview about her book "The Princess Diarist", where the revelation appears.

Referring to their characters Han Solo and Princess Leia she said, "It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend."

Harrison, who was then 33 and married to his college sweetheart Mary Marquardt, later split with his wife - but Carrie claims their divorce "had nothing to do with me."

In her book, Carries says she and Harrison first had sex following a birthday party for director George Lucas, because the actress, who was 19 at the time, was "wine-sodden" and Harrison offered to drive her home.

"I looked over at Harrison," she writes.

"A hero's face - a few strands of hair fell over his noble, slightly furrowed brow.

"I was so inexperienced, but I trusted something about him. He was kind."

The pair recently reprised their roles for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which hit cinemas last year.

Carrie has since claimed her book excerpts were being taken "out of context," but she did not elaborate other than to say she would never discuss someone's bedroom moves.

Harrison, who is now married to actress Calista Flockhart, is yet to confirm on the affair.
