Isla Fisher Mistaken for Sacha Baron Cohen’s Daughter

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Parties, Features,

Sacha Baron Cohen and wife Isla FisherIsla Fisher was once mistaken for her husband Sacha Baron Cohen's daughter.

The petite Great Gatsby actress - who wed the comedian in 2010 after an eight-year romance - was mortified when a party host mistook her for the funnyman's teenage daughter at one of her first ever Hollywood parties. Isla, 37, recalled, "When I first came to Hollywood, I went with Sacha to a very big party for Lost In Translation. When we pulled up, everyone you could imagine was in this room, Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman... This lady came straight up to me, introduced herself as Colleen and then turned to me and said, 'Come with me, I've got something to show you.' I'm thinking, 'Oh my God. I'm so excited.' So she takes me away from Sacha and opens this door and there's this giant pink room covered in kids' posters and there in the middle is a group of 14-year-old girls and she said, 'Everybody, this is Sacha's daughter,' and asked me if I wanted a soft drink. Clearly I should have worn more make-up!"

Isla has since settled down with Sacha and the couple have daughters Olive, five, and Elula, two, and the 37-year-old actress admits becoming a parent is one of the best things in life. " think the most romantic thing you can ever do is to make a family with someone. I love being a mum and it's my favorite topic personally, but professionally I hate talking about it," she added.

Isla Fisher: Sacha Baron Cohen Is an Embarrassing Husband

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,

Sacha Baron CohenSacha Baron Cohen is an embarrassing husband.

The Dictator star's wife Isla Fisher is constantly amazed by the gaffes he makes when he meets other celebrities, and she was left particularly red-faced when he confided in Jack Black that his spouse was unhappy with the size of her breasts.

Sacha is famous for his "mockumentary" comedy movies which have seen him play Kazakh television personality Borat and gay fashion TV presenter Bruno and feature him asking outrageous questions to unwitting individuals. "I cannot tell you how embarrassing he is in social situations. To him, there's no difference between the awkward gaffes he deliberately makes as a comic, and the terrible faux pas he innocently commits as my husband," Isla said.

Explaining she and Sacha had gone to a movie screening, which saw a curvy woman make a long speech before Jack made a shorter address, she continued, "After the film, Sacha said to Jack, 'Why did you have to make such a short speech? You should have shut up the woman with the big bosoms and said more yourself.' Jack said through gritted teeth, 'That was my mother.' Although even that didn't silence Sacha. He told Jack,' Well at least your mother has a fabulous bosom.' And he turned to me and said, 'You've always wanted larger breasts, haven't you Isla?' I wanted the floor to swallow me up."

Bruno on GQ

There’s just something about GQ that makes people want to bare all.

Late last year, Jennifer Aniston caused a stir when she wore nothing but a tie for the magazine’s cover. Now a Austrian fashionista is getting in on the act.

For GQ‘s July issue, Bruno (a.k.a. Sacha Baron Cohen) treats the readers to fashion and grooming tips…and a lot of skin. While this stunt may not top the incident with Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards, it’s still hard to look away.
