The actor paid tribute to Carrie Fisher while talking to reporters in the press room on Sunday night. He recalled spending time with the Star Wars actress at a Washington correspondents’ dinner. “Carrie Fisher was such a fighter,” he said. “I spent one evening with her in Washington … She had this indomitable spirit that was bigger than the occasion. She was such a force for life. If we can take anything, a lesson from her is to live as fully as we can, to embrace our weaknesses and that very act makes them become strengths.” He even revealed that during the dinner, Fisher tasked him with watching over one of her beloved dog Gary’s favorite toys. • Watch PEOPLE & EW Red Carpet Live Sunday night and streaming now on People/Entertainment Weekly Network (PEN).

She insisted that, when we were there, she was looking after her dog Gary and I was looking after Gary’s rubber duck, which was the rubber duck of Princess Leia.” Fisher died on Dec. 27 at age 60, four days after suffering a heart attack while on a flight from London to Los Angeles. • Want to win a trip to L.A.?
