Actress Isla Fisher recently detailed the specific behaviors and fashion choices that instantly kill her romantic interest during a promotional tour for her new film, Spa Weekend. The 50-year-old star shared these anecdotes in a series of interviews, highlighting a particular incident involving a clumsy dog chase that led to an immediate loss of attraction.
The 'cartoonish' dog chase that cost a suitor his chance
During a video posted to the Overheard Happy Hour TikTok account, Isla Fisher described a recent dating experience that ended abruptly due to a partner's lack of poise. According to the report, Fisher liked a particular individual until his dog ran away, prompting a chase that she described as looking like a cartoon because the man ran low to the ground with his hands outstretched.
The visual was so off-putting that Fisher crudely quipped that by the time the man caught the dog, he had "lost the p--y." This moment of physical awkwardness served as a definitive "ick," demonstrating how a single ungraceful action can override previous romantic interest for the actress.
Why deck shoes and Tom Cruise's running form define Fisher's standards
Beyond behavioral quirks, Isla Fisher has strict requirements regarding men's style and physicality. As reported by KIIS FM's The Smallzy Show, Fisher considers backpacks and deck shoes to be her two primary fashion turn-offs, stating she would leave a date immediately if a suitor wore either item.
Fisher specifically highlighted a repulsive habit of wearing deck shoes like plimsolls by slipping the heel off, leaving the heel exposed. Furthermore, the actress expressed a distaste for men with poor running stances, suggesting that men should instead emulate the disciplined, athletic form of action star Tom Cruise.
Rebuilding a sense of self after 14 years with Sacha Baron Cohen
These candid revelations about dating come as Isla Fisher navigates life after her marriage to Sacha Baron Cohen. The couple mutually announced the end of their 14-year relationship in April 2024, with the divorce officially finalized in June of the previous year.
The transition has not been seamless;Fisher admitted in a November interview that she has faced a "really challenging" period following the split. She has spent the last two years focusing on her professional commitments and rebuilding her personal identity, a stark contrast to Sacha Baron Cohen, who reportedly moved on with 28-year-old model Hannah Palmer only three months after the divorce was finalized.
The Notting Hill date with Larry Cohen and the search for stability
While Fisher has emphasized her focus on self-growth, she has been spotted exploring the dating scene. In April of this year, the actress was seen in London's Notting Hill heading to Soho House with Larry Cohen, a former South African soccer player.
It remains unclear whether the outing with Larry Cohen represents a serious romntic pursuit or a casual encounter, as Fisher has not officially confirmed a new relationship. Additionally, while she has been vocal about her "icks," it is not yet known if she is actively seeking a long-term partner or simply enjoying the autonomy of her single status after over a decade of marriage.
