Isla Fisher discloses the one Australian habit she had to give up to succeed in Hollywood

Isla Fisher is one of Australia’s most successful actor exports, but the red-headed beauty revealed she had to give up one big habit to make it big in Hollywood.

A true blue Aussie down to her roots, The Great Gatsby star, 47, said she grew up with ‘a filthy gutter tone’ which helped her fit in at home.

But since making it big in the US, the movie star, who is married to comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, said she had to give up swearing, reported Confidential on Sunday.  

‘I am working on my swearing,’ the Wedding Crashers star told the publication, adding that the behaviour is ‘frowned upon in Hollywood’. 

‘It is not given the gravitas that it is in Australia where you can get, kind of in macho circles, taken seriously with a bit of a swear word, or at least around my brothers when I was younger.’

Isla went on to say she successfully gave up swearing until she started playing her character Mary in Wolf Like Me, which is now filming season 2 in South Australia.  

‘My character Mary swears all the time – I have so much dialogue and basically I was just swearing all day, every day. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it – that is why I have a filthy gutter tone.’ 

Isla and Sacha were originally living between Los Angeles and the UK with their three young children until they decided to relocate to Sydney in 2020.

While it’s was widely speculated they moved Down Under to escape the Coronavirus pandemic ravaging the US, reports claimed they were actually fleeing America’s tumultuous political climate.

‘They didn’t want to raise their kids in Trump’s America,’ an insider told Sydney Morning Herald at the time. 

Isla and Sacha first met at a party in Sydney in 2002 and married eight years later.

Since then, Isla has reflected on the couple maintaining a happy relationship for two decades – a rarity in the world of showbusiness.

‘It is a fun ride. I feel so lucky to have Sacha in my life. Now we have this beautiful family and we survived lockdown together, which you know, it is not easy for any couple,’ she said. 

‘I think by Hollywood standards it’s probably 200 years!’ she joked. 

‘I feel like it’s a Golden Jubilee or something. Everyone was congratulating me.’
