Isla Fisher says hubby Sacha Baron Cohen didn't help her career Isla Fisher says husband Sacha Baron Cohen hasn't helped her career. ISLA Fisher says being the partner of a world-famous comedian hasn't helped her career. The actress says she's never received any benefits from being with Sacha Baron Cohen. "I've had no helping hand in Hollywood," she told the July edition of British Cosmopolitan. Fisher, 37, said she requested Cohen's assistance early in her career. "The one time I did ask for help was after my agent in L.A. fired me," she said. I was auditioning for all sorts of things but kept getting told 'no,' so she just fired me! Fisher told the magazine. So anyway, I said to Sacha, who was my boyfriend at the time, 'Can you ask your agent if they'll represent me?' And his agent said, 'No way.' It was the only favor I'd ever asked, and I was like, 'OK... great.' But it spurred me on. Fisher is now married to Cohen and they have two daughters, Olive, 5, and Elula, 2.
