Paul Simon Recalls Being ‘Exhausted’ in 1-Year ‘Whirlwind’ Marriage to Carrie Fisher

Paul Simon looked back candidly at his one-year marriage with actress Carrie Fisher and admitted he was ‘exhausted’ by ‘emotional upheaval’ by the end of it.

The singer-songwriter, 82, candidly spoke about the “whirlwind” relationship with the Star Wars actress in the new documentary, In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon, which premiered on MGM+ on March 17. Lorne Michaels, who served as best man during Simon’s wedding to Carrie, said things were “complicated” between the two stars as they were two individuals at the peaks of their careers. The Hook star, who died at 60 years old in 2016, shared her thoughts about marriage to Paul in her 2008 memoir, Wishful Drinking, admitting she agreed it was “the wrong thing to do.”
