Carrie Fisher — Anorexia Fears Over ‘Star Wars’ Pressure

Carrie Fisher has withered away to nearly nothing after fans blasted her bloated figure in the last “Star Wars” movie — as a new documentary reveals how the studio made her struggle to lose weight! “She’s gone beyond anorexia!” said top New York internist Dr. Stuart Fischer after examining a recent photo of the 59-year-old actress. Dr. Fischer, who has not treated Carrie, said he believes she was stung when criticized for not looking like the sexy Princess Leia she played in the “Star Wars” movies of the late 1970s and early ’80s!

“Carrie has obviously overreacted,” Dr. Fischer told The National ENQUIRER. “She can’t possibly compete with her younger self, especially since she’s had to deal with substance abuse problems, psychological issues and the fans’ cruelty. I don’t know what mechanism she used, but it would have taken her a long time to get down to this weight.”

A new documentary, "Bright Lights," provides a look into the relationship between Carrie and her ailing mother Debbie Reynolds. The cameras also catch Carrie (seen here in 2014) as she prepared for her big-screen return as General Leia in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" — with personal trainers hired by the studio putting her through grueling workouts!

"They make them report on my weight," Fisher said. "They take measurements. It's intense." But while the cameras catch Carrie rebelling by sneaking some cans of soda, she also admitted to being heartbroken to see how she'd aged when the movie was released. “I wept!” she told one interviewer.

Carrie had battled weight woes for the first "Star Wars" trilogy, too — with studio bigwigs telling her at age 19 to lose 10 pounds, despite her weighing 105 pounds at the time! She’s also admitted to struggling with drugs since her early 20s, when Carrie had difficulty coping with newfound fame.

The ENQUIRER reported on how producers of “The Force Awakens” insisted that Carrie (seen here in 2013) lose 35 pounds before filming. "I’m in a business where the only thing that matters is weight and appearance," said the outspoken actress. "That is so messed up. They might as well say 'get younger,' because that’s how easy it is!"

The actress, however, has apparently caved in to those pressures, said Dr. Fischer — adding: “Carrie needs immediate psychological counseling, and maybe a visit to a nutritionist!”
