Rocker PHIL COLLINS once lived with pint-sized STAR WARS star KENNY BAKER when he was a kid. Baker, who played droid R2-D2 in all six Star Wars films, was playing DOPEY opposite Collins' ice skating sister in a SNOW WHITE ON ICE show when he became the GENESIS star's housemate. Collins recalls, "My house was always full of Disney because my brother was a big fan of the animators and my sister danced to DISNEY ON ICE every year and on tour. "We even had Dopey living with us for a little while. Yeah, we had Kenny Baker, who was skating as Dopey. He was living with us for a few months."
