Star Wars' Woody Harrelson Accepted Solo Role So He Can Meet Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Most actors would jump at the chance to be a part of the Star Wars franchise. However, Woody Harrelson admits that he only agreed to work on Solo: A Star Wars Story because he wanted to meet Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Harrelson spoke to Radio Times where he admitted that he has been a huge fan of the Fleabag creator. The Venom star revealed that he initially turned down the Star Wars film because he wanted to get some time off work.

Waller-Bridge played Lando Calrissian's droid companion L3-37, who eventually became a part of the Millennium Falcon in Solo. Harrelson couldn't help but gush about the actress during the interview.

Although Harrelson's character Beckett only had a few scenes with L3 in Solo, it is clear that he was delighted to have met Waller-Bridge. Let's hope that the two can work together again in a future project.

Harrelson recently appeared as Cletus Kasady in the Venom post-credit scene. He is also expected to reprise his role as Tallahassee in Zombieland Too.
