Billy Dee Williams shared some candid and crass thoughts about rumors of his “Star Wars” co-stars’ alleged affair ahead of reprising his role as Lando Calrissian.
The actor, 82, will return in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” for the first time since his character last appeared in “Return of the Jedi,”
Speaking to Esquire, the actor got candid about his return to the franchise as well as rumors about Carrier Fisher and Harrison Ford having an affair on set so many years ago.
“As far as I’m concerned, I mean, I don’t care what people are — if they’re f—ing each other and they’re s—ing each other.
Rumors were kicked into high gear when Fisher’s tell-all book “The Princess Diarist” hit shelves.
Fisher died in 2016. Because of that, Ford previously told GQ that he didn’t want to discuss the allegations made in her book.
“Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know. You know, with Carrie’s untimely passing, I don’t really feel that it’s a subject that I want to discuss,” Ford told GQ in 2017.
Williams went on to explain what he believes his character has been doing in the decades since “Return of the Jedi.”
“I always imagined Lando being like Steve Wynn, running Las Vegas. Because he’s a gambler. But he was a bit of a showman, a bit of an entrepreneur. That’s how I see Lando. I never necessarily saw him as a general running around shooting things.”
The actor also showed pride in how Lando was portrayed in the original series, noting that, although he double-crossed the film’s heroes, he was unlike anything that audiences had seen before.
