The duo under the influence of alcohol as per Hamill made out with each other.
“I remember one time – I’m sure alcohol was involved – we were talking about kissing techniques. I said: ‘Well, I think I’m a fairly good kisser. I like to let the women come to me rather than be aggressive.’ And she said: ‘What do you mean?’ Well, next thing you know we’re making out like teenagers!”

Hamill further talked about how he shared a special bond with Fisher as their life-long friendship turned into a sibling bond. He shared,
“But there was a comfort level that we’d achieved because she knew I wasn’t ever angling for a favor or trying to get her to introduce me to this agent or this director. We became like real siblings over the years.”
He continued how she made everyone special around him. He also revealed why he never dated her.
“I mean, if I’d had a relationship with her, it would have been like a full-time activity because she was too much for me in every regard: she was too creative, she was too smart. She was just the best.”
While the duo never dated, she was having an affair with Ford off-screen.The duo kept their relationship a secret for several years. It was disclosed in the actress’s memoir,The Princess Diaristwhich was published shortly before her demise.
