Carrie Fisher's affair with Harrison Ford on the set of Star Wars has become the stuff of legend since the late star opened up about it last year.
However, it's now been claimed by Mark Hamill that he and Fisher were quite intimate themselves on the set of A New Hope, in an interview for Vanity Fair's The Last Jedi issue.
Hamill told the magazine that the pair "were really attracted to each other", adding: "We got to the point where we were having our make-out sessions – and then we pulled back.
"A great way to cool any amorous feelings is laughter, and Carrie had this sort of Auntie Mame desire to find humour in everything."
He further explained: "We also realised that, if we did this, everything would fundamentally change. It's the When Harry Met Sally plot – can we still be friends after intimacy? Wisely, we avoided that."
Like in the films, Hamill said their relationship has been sibling-like, and suggested he had struggled to come to terms with Fisher's death last year.
"I can't say that phrase, what you just said: Carrie's name and then the d-word," he said. "Because I think of her in the present tense.
"Maybe it's a form of denial, but she's so vibrant in my mind, and so vital a part of the family, that I can't imagine it without her. It's just so untimely, and I'm so angry."
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be released on 15 December.
