Actor Simon Pegg confessed to his 'Star Trek' co-star Carrie Fisher that he used to kiss one of her posters before he went to bed every night.

"Princess Leia was my first crush and I really remember those feelings of longing for her. Speaking to Carrie years later and telling her about it, she asked me if I felt better for telling her I kissed her picture every night before I went to bed every night, and I said yes, I did. I think she thought it was kind of strange," he said.

Fisher, along with Harrison Ford (Han Solo) and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), is rumoured to be returning for the new 'Star Wars' film due out in 2015, reported Contactmusic.
 

Despite working with director J J Abrams in 'Star Trek Into Darkness', Pegg said he cannot ask for a part alongside his crush in the new film.

"I would never go up to him and ask him, because if he wants me he'll ask me, and if he doesn't, he won't. I won't be upset about that.

"I will be thrilled to watch a new 'Star Wars' film, but in a way I would prefer not to be in it, then I can watch it as a fan and not have it spoiled by me," he added.
