Aussie actress Isla Fisher gave birth to a baby girl on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
This is the first child for Isla, 31, and fiance Sacha Baron Cohen - the comedian behind fictional characters Borat and Ali G.
Congrats to the happy couple and baby Borat!!!
The very pregnant Isla Fisher (due any minute now) leaves a Beverly Hills restaurant Thursday night after having dinner with comedian fiance Sacha Baron Cohen.
Isla, 31, and Sacha, 35, at first didn’t admit to pregnant rumors because they were fearful of complications with the baby.
Said Isla, “In the beginning, I dodged the rumors. I was trying not to be rude, but there’s a time before you’re sure everything is all right with no complications that you just don’t want to discuss it.”
Isla also joked she didn’t know who the baby daddy was: “I’m doing DNA tests with the casts of Hot Rod and also Wedding Crashers, so hopefully I’ll find out for sure.”
It was Andy Samberg!
Sacha Baron Cohen and his pregnant fiancee Isla Fisher (due any day now) attend a local synagogue to celebrate Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement) on Saturday in Los Angeles.
Sacha, 35, was born in London to an Orthodox Jewish family. Isla, 31, has reportedly converted to Orthodox Judaism in advance of her marriage to Sacha. Their wedding date has yet to be announced.
Isla also recently signed on to star as the title role of Rebecca Bloomwood in the upcoming romantic comedy Confessions of a Shopaholic. The film tells the story of a college grad who lands a job as a financial journalist in New York City to support where she nurtures her shopping addiction. It’s based on the novel with the same name by Sophie Kinsella. Production will begin in January.
Isla Fisher, the soon-to-be Mrs. Borat, is the star of the upcoming film Hot Rod and is featured in the September 2007 issue of Details magazine.
On being female and funny: “The reality is, for women in comedy, there aren’t many opportunities to be the funny one. There aren’t scripts written. If you want to be challenged and do the work you want, you have to create the material yourself.”
On traveling around the country with fiance Sacha Baron Cohen during the filming of Borat: “Instead of ‘Hey, Honey, did you pick up the dry cleaning?’ it was ‘Did you get beaten up? Are you getting sued? Is there a warrant out for your arrest?’” (Then she catches herself. She places her small hands flat on the blue tabletop and leans forward. “I know I brought it up,” she almost whispers, “but I don’t want to talk about my relationship.” You get the sense that the regular person in her would love to chat about it, but the rising celebrity in her knows she shouldn’t.)
Her take on past acting roles: “I’ve played some pretty wackadoodle people. I really hope that I’m not channeling any subconscious ideas about myself.”
