Biography

Isla Lang Fisher is an Australian film actress of Scottish origin, remembered by fans of world cinema for her participation in the films “I’ll Marry the First Person I Meet,” “Now You See Me,” “The Great Gatsby” and “Wedding Crashers.” In addition, in her youth she published several children's books.

The girl was born in the Arab country of Oman and grew up in Australia. The fact is that the father of the future actress, Brian Fisher, was a financier at the United Nations and just at that moment was involved in the banking structure in Muscat, the capital of this Asian country. A few months later, the Fishers returned to Scotland, to the town of Bathgate. The actress was named after one of the British islands. And later, in the biography of Isla Fisher, the Australian city of Perth appears, where the family moved for permanent residence.

At that time, Ayla was about six years old and today she remembers with pleasure her childhood in the open spaces. The girl, along with her four older brothers, constantly went on long hikes, studied and absorbed the beauty of nature. When Fisher was 9 years old, she was invited to local television to try her hand at television filming. She began appearing in commercials, and a little later in children's television productions.

After graduating from Methodist Women's College, where the girl paid more attention to the school theater studio, Ayla went to Paris and entered the Jacques Lecoq International Theater School. There she studies pantomime, clowning and comedy. The next point in Isla Fisher's biography is London. The actress plays on the stage of the Royal Theater in the play “Everyone Does This” and tours with the musical “Summer Vacation”.

By the way, when Fisher was still a young 18-year-old girl, she, along with her mother Elspeth Reid, wrote and published two novels for teenagers: Bewitched and Seduced by Fame. These books were a hit with Australian children. Now Isla Fisher and her entire family are scattered around the world: Isla’s father alternates living in Germany and Nicaragua, her mother and brothers live in Athens, Greece, and the actress herself has long settled in Los Angeles, closer to Hollywood film companies.

Childhood

Ayla was born on February 3, 1976 in the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, Muscat, where at that time her family lived, having moved there from the Scottish city of Bathgate. Due to the nature of his father’s work, an employee of the UN banking structure, the family often changed their place of residence. When her daughter was 6 years old, the whole family - parents, Isla and her 4 brothers - returned home to the United Kingdom for a short time, then hit the road again, this time to Perth, Western Australia.

The girl, named after the Scottish island of Islay, first attended Swanbourne Primary School and then Methodist Ladies College. It is known that even then she showed interest in the acting profession - she played leading roles in school productions, in particular, in the musical "Little Shop of Horrors", based on the black comedy of the same name directed by Roger Corman about the misadventures of a flower shop worker who looked after a plant that feeds human blood and flesh.

Movies

At a young age, Isla appeared in the Australian teen television films Bay City and Paradise Beach, and later played Shannon Reed in the family saga Home and Away. For her work on this series, the young actress was awarded the Logie Award in the Miss Popularity category. Fisher first became famous in Europe after the release of the German horror film “Swimming Pool” and the adventure comedy “Scooby-Doo.” In the last of them, the girl played Mary Jane, who suffers from an allergy to dogs. Since Isla's character was supposed to be blonde, she wore a wig on set.

Fisher’s career breakthrough came after an MTV award for her participation in the light melodrama “Wedding Crashers.” In the film, the girl appeared along with Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Christopher Walken, Rachel McAdams and other famous artists.

After that, the actress was given the main roles in the romantic comedy “I’ll Marry the First Person I Meet,” the melodrama “Yes, No, Probably,” the humorous series “Bachelorettes” and the ironic film “Shopaholic.” It’s interesting that initially critics received Shopaholic rather coolly, but audiences gladly went to the cinemas, and the film took fourth place in box office, and Isla herself received a Teen Choice Award for her role as Rebecca Bloomwood.

In 2012, Fisher again tried herself as a voice actress. The Tooth Fairy speaks in the voice of a girl in the cartoon “The Guardians of Dreams.” A year earlier, she voiced Bobitta in the animated film “Rango,” and in 2008, Dr. Mary Lou Lara in the animated film “Horton.”

She got a character named Myrtle Wilson. She became Joel Edgerton's on-screen lover. On the set, Isla managed to work with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan and others.

It is worth highlighting such projects of the actress as the psychological drama Nocturnal Animals and the action comedy Spies Next Door. The first film won several prestigious awards. The film also received the Grand Prix of the Jury at the 73rd Venice Film Festival.

The plot of the film revolves around the woman Susan Morrow. She receives a manuscript from her ex-husband, a writer, along with an invitation to dinner. And, while the current husband is improving things in business, he begins to read a novel dedicated to her. Isla has collaborated with Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal and others. Interesting fact: Isla Fisher is often confused with Amy Adams due to the actresses' resemblance.

In The Spies Next Door, the actress played the on-screen wife of Zach Galifianakis. A funny married couple finds themselves at the center of a spy conspiracy and subsequent incredible adventures.

A little earlier, Ayla starred in a film with her husband Sacha Baron Cohen called “The Brothers from Grimsby.”

In 2021, Fisher shared on the Today show that the creators of the comedy Wedding Crashers are planning to film a sequel to the film. However, the details of the expected project are unknown.

Career development

In Britain, the girl appeared in pantomimes, took part in a tour of the musical “Summer Holiday” (an adaptation of the musical film of the same name starring Cliff Richard, played by Darren Day in the updated version), and also performed in the London production of the play Cosi by Australian playwright Louis Nora . In 2001, she starred in the German slasher film “Swimming Pool” by Boris von Zychowski about students who decide to have fun after passing exams in a water park, when a homicidal maniac suddenly appears inside and the exit doors are closed.

In 2002, she moved to Los Angeles with her friend Sacha Baron Cohen and began developing her career on the big screen. Her film debut was the role of her friend Shaggy, who suffers from an allergy to dogs, in the comedy “Scooby-Doo”, based on the animated series about the incredible adventures of teenagers who are passionate about solving complicated cases and mystical secrets, and their talking dog.

In 2003, the actress played in the Australian comedy Copycats directed by Nick Giannapalas. The film received a lukewarm reception from film critics, but grossed more than $1.2 million at the box office in Australia. She then starred in the philosophical comedy Heartbreakers by David Russell, released in 2004.

Her next role as a bridesmaid in the popular 2005 comedy Wedding Crashers became the girl’s first notable work in Hollywood. Isla was accompanied on the set by such stars as Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, and Christopher Walken. For this role, she received two nominations for the Teen Choice Awards, a youth award from Fox, and won an MTV movie award in the category “Breakthrough of the Year.”

In 2005, while promoting the film, Isla was crowned on Rove McManus' comedy show Rove as its 1,000th guest.

A real high point awaited the actress after several more films (“Deception”, “Reckless”, “Yes, no, probably”, “I’ll marry the first person I meet”), when in 2009 she got the main role in the romantic comedy “Shopaholic”, directed by based on the bestselling book of the same name by British writer Sophie Kinsella. Her heroine, a journalist specializing in financial issues, easily gave recommendations to readers on managing their financial assets. However, she herself could not miss a single sale or promotion without making a purchase. This circumstance forced her to take out one loan after another. For this role, the actress was awarded another nomination for the Teen Choice Awards.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher

In 2002, at a party, the girl met one of the best comedians in Great Britain, Sacha Baron Cohen, and since then Isla Fisher’s personal life has changed radically. They dated for 8 years, and in March 2010 they got married. The wedding ceremony took place in the most romantic city in the world - the French capital and was carried out according to Jewish traditions.

Although Ayla herself has no relation to the Jewish people, she, at the insistence of her future husband’s family, converted to Judaism long before the wedding. At that point, she changed her name to something more traditional for her new culture—Ayala, which means “doe” in Hebrew.

Isla Fisher with children

It is very difficult to imagine, but this graceful and attractive woman is the mother of three children. Isla Fisher gave her first daughter, Olive, to her beloved three years before the wedding, and her second daughter, Elula, to Lottie Miriam, five months after the wedding ceremony.
