Carrie Fisher had seen some pretty terrifying things during her time on Star Wars. She went face to face with Vader, was kept as a slave by Jabba the Hutt, but none of that would have been more terrifying than the state in which she found a scruffy-looking nerf herder hiding in her closet.

After the release of her autobiography, The Princess Diarist, Fisher disclosed her intimate relationship with co-star Harrison Ford. Despite their age difference and Ford being married, the two star-crossed lovers felt they were destined to be together. However, after Ford's closet prank, we're not sure their relationship was ever the same again.

On an interview for a show called "Bring Back Star Wars", Fisher described the time that Ford mysteriously disappeared from her room. She had only been gone for a few minutes, so she decided to look to see if he was hiding in her closet. Lo and behold, as she opened the doors, there was Harrison Ford faking his own death by hanging from his tie in her wardrobe completely naked.

The old jumping out of a closet prank is a classic, but my goodness, this dirty smuggler certainly took that idea way too far.
