Watch Carrie Fisher slap Oscar Isaac 41 times in these Last Jedi outtakes
There’s something uniquely pleasant about watching a handsome actor get smacked in the face, particularly if it is being done by a veteran actor who has earned that right. Let us not forget the great Harrison-Ford-punching-Ryan-Gosling celebration of 2017, in which the elder Blade Runner took great delight in regaling the world with the story of his “accidental” blow to Gosling’s face. In the run-up to the release of The Last Jedi, much was made of Carrie Fisher’s firm, open-palmed slap of Oscar Isaac. On The Late Show, Isaac said, “I think it ended up being like 27 takes of Carrie just leaning in, and every time she’d hit a different spot in my face,” and he told Vanity Fair, “She loved hitting me.”
