Star Wars actor Mark Hamill has paid tribute to co-star Carrie Fisher on what would have been her 65th birthday.

Taking to Twitter, Hamill posted a behind-the-scenes shot of the pair goofing around on set. Hamill is playing with Fisher’s hair – who is looking decidedly unimpressed.

Happy Birthday to a very special someone who was never not fun & always highly tolerant of my juvenile on-set high jinks… even when she wasn’t in the mood. #CarrieOnForever ❤️. . pic.twitter.com/ehg7v55FS8October 21, 2021
