Carrie Fisher Slapped Oscar Isaac So Many Times on theSet ofThe Last Jedi

Have you ever find out about something and then realise it was everything you ’ve ever needed ? Because that ’s how I feel knowing there ’s footage somewhere of Carrie Fisher slap Oscar Isaac — as General Leia and Poe Dameron — over and over again .

On last nighttime ’s The Late Show , Isaac reminisce with Stephen Colbert about Fisher . “ really a large amount of the stuff I got to do was with Carrie , which was awing , ” he state . “ I remember the first daylight of shooting was a scenery with Carrie . And it was still — often times that first day , the filmmakers , everybody ’s trying to get the tone and count on it out — and I remember it was a scene where I come up and spill the beans to her and she ’s very confused with me and slap me . And [ director ] Rian [ Johnson ] kept doing it over and over . ”

“ It ended up being like 27 takings of Carrie just leaning in , ” Isaac finished . “ And every metre she ’d remove like a different pip on my face . ”
