Isla Fisher says her husband Sacha Baron Cohen encouraged her to audition for comedic roles because she always makes people laugh.
Isla Fisher became a comic actress because of her husband.
The 'Wedding Crashers' star - who shot to fame in Australian TV drama series 'Home And Away' - insists she has always made her friends laugh but only thought of it as a direction for her career when spouse Sacha Baron Cohen encouraged her to try out for a comedy role.
She said: "I've always been the clown with my friends, but it was Sacha who said, 'You're the funniest girl.'
"He said not many women are willing to make a fool of themselves, so he pushed me in that direction and then my first audition was 'Wedding Crashers' and that was it."
Isla - who has two daughters with her spouse - also insisted she is very choosy about the roles she takes on and is happy not to be a workaholic.
She told Elle magazine: "Am I a workaholic? I'm exactly the opposite. I'm pretty choosy about what I do, which probably comes from years of having no choices."
