Carrie Fisher first shot to fame in the late 1970's when she first wore her hair in two buns as Princess Leia in the original "Star Wars" trilogy. Almost 40 years later, Fisher returned as Leia in the new film "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" where she received lots of negative comments about her appearance. The 59-year-old actress has now fired back against those trolls on Twitter who say she did not age well.
"Please stop debating about whetherOR not I aged well.unfortunately it hurts all3 of my feelings.My BODY hasnt aged as well as I have," Fisher wrote on Twitter.
"My body is a brain bag, it hauls me around to those places & in front of faces where theres something to say or see," she added.
The actress then retweeted multiple harsh tweets from some of her haters and even responded to some of them. "Youth and beauty are not accomplishments, they're the temporary happy by-products of time and/or DNA. Don't hold your breath for either," she wrote.
Fisher also retweeted messages from people who supported her as well, including one that said, "Men don't age better than women, they're just allowed to age."
The Twitter spree is the latest in a string of comments that Fisher has made about being an older woman in Hollywood. Earlier this month she revealed that she was asked to lose 35 pounds for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," as HNGN previously reported.
"They don't want to hire all of me - only about three-quarters," the 59-year-old actress told Good Housekeeping UK. "Nothing changes. It's an appearance-driven thing. I'm in a business where the only thing that matters is weight and appearance. That is so messed up. They might as well say get younger, because that's how easy it is."
