The legendary actress offered some of her life wisdom to her 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' co-star, telling her it wouldn't be wise to "go through the crew like wildfire".

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, she said: "I told her not to go through the crew like wildfire, but I also told her not to take any advice from me.

"When I was first in it I never wanted anyone to have the anecdote, 'I slept with Princess Leia.'"

And it is not only Carrie that the 23-year-old star has been getting advice from, as she previously revealed Harrison Ford has offered a "warning" about how best to deal with fame.

She shared previously: "It wasn't really advice. It was more of a warning. He said that the anonymity thing is difficult, because as creative people you look to other people for inspiration and suddenly people are looking at you.

"It's like, chilled [at the moment]. A guy came up to me last week and it was so sweet. He was the first person to recognise me out and about. He was just really nice and it felt like a nice thing. I just really want to keep doing cool films. That's really it."
