Isla Fisher: The Object of Our Affection

BEST KNOWN AS:
The 5’3″ pistol who played Gloria, the hilariously bipolar nympho from Wedding Crashers.

SOON TO BE STEALING SCENES IN: Definitely, Maybe, this month’s buzzy rom-com, in which Fisher plays Ryan Reynolds’s bestest friend. “April’s like all of us when we’re young: flawed, loves life, and gets her heart broken,” Fisher says.

LATEST TRICK: Procreating. While attending clown school at 21, the Australian couldn’t have known how valuable her juggling skills would become — 10 years later, she’s doing an interview while feeding, burping, and changing 1-month-old Olive (dad is four-year fiancé Sacha “Borat” Baron Cohen).

THE ONE BEAUTY TOOL SHE’D GRAB IF HER HOUSE WERE ON FIRE: “Tweezers, because I can look like a she-wolf if I’m not careful.”

REALITY CHECK: “I love when a beautiful designer dresses me. But these days, it’s more like getting in the car and realizing the burp cloth is still on my left shoulder.”

THE SECRET TO SUCCESS: “Find your inner idiot.”
