10 Actors Who HATED Their Roles In Famous Movies

1. Carrie Fisher - Star Wars

The third entry for Star Wars on this list puts the beloved series in an even more negative light.

While it gave her great fame and success, Carrie Fisher later admitted that if she'd known what a huge hit the original Star Wars was going to be, she would have never taken the role. As well as the pressure that came with such fame, Fisher also disliked the iconic gold bikini she had to wear in Return of the Jedi, claiming that when George Lucas first showed her the outfit, she thought he was joking.

In addition to this, Fisher highlighted the sexism often faced by actresses when she talked of being told she was too fat for the role, despite only being less than 50kg at the time.

Despite its gigantic following, it is clear that Star Wars hasn't always been kind to its actors, both due to the pressure such fame forces upon you, but also due to the way some of the film-makers pushed their actors into situations they weren't comfortable with.
