Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher met years ago while they were both attending an event in Sydney, Australia, according to The New York Times. While opening up to the Times about spending time with the woman who would eventually become his wife, he was apparently struck by the funny lady’s humor right away, saying, “She was hilarious.”
“We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party,” Cohen recalled. He also admitted something else about how he felt about Fisher when they first met, saying, “I knew instantly. I don’t know if she did.” After a little laugh, he added, “It’s taken her about 20 years to know.”
Fisher, on the other hand, totally disagrees with that claim. Talking about her husband on Australia’s “The Project” (via the Daily Mail), she laughed while telling the host, “I don’t know why [he said that], he was joking!”
“I totally loved him right away. I mean I knew it was definitely love at first sight,” Fisher said, clearly remembering being just as in love with Cohen as he was with her when they happened to meet all those years ago. Frankly, it seems like they’re still just as in love (or even more in love?) these days, which surely suggests that a happily-ever-after really can happen in show business.
