Isla lives in LA with comedian husband Sacha Baron Cohen and their three children
The Australian comedy actress and children’s writer reveals all about her brand new book series
One thing?s for sure, Isla Fisher knows how to do funny. After proving her acting credentials long ago, on the sunny shores of Summer Bay in Home & Away in 1994, she has gone on to become the princess of comedy, starring in the likes of Wedding Crashers, Confessions of a Shopaholic and more recently, Keeping Up With The Joneses. Oh, and she happened to study in Paris for a while at Jacques Lecoq clown school ? that was, until she realised ?there wasn?t much call for miming the wall?.
All quite fitting, really, considering Isla?s husband is comedian and screenwriter Sacha Baron Cohen. After tying the knot in Paris in 2010, the pair now live in LA with their children, Olive, eight, Elula, five, and one-year-old son, Montgomery. But of all the roles she has taken on over the years, Isla confesses that her favourite has been as a mother. And while she has always been a keen writer (Isla published two novels with the help of her romance novelist mother in 1996), she admits she never really had the time to take it on as a serious project.
Now, the actress has released her first children?s book, Marge in Charge, which follows the story of an eccentric babysitter, after revealing she would spend every night making up bedtime stories for her little ones. So, has she got the bug for a brand new care...
