Isla Fisher Opens Up About Pressure to Model for Men's Magazines
ISLA FISHER UNVEILS SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT HER MODELLING DAYS
In a jaw-dropping revelation, Aussie actress Isla Fisher has let it all hang out about her wild days as a model for men's magazines. The 49-year-old star of Hollywood hits like "Now You See Me", "Wedding Crashers", and "The Great Gatsby" spilled the beans on Nova 96.9's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie, revealing that she felt pressured into doing shoots and had little control over her career.
Isla's confession came as a bombshell to listeners, who couldn't help but think of the blonde bombshell's iconic covers for FHM in 1997 and 2003. But behind those sultry smiles, Isla was feeling trapped and lacking agency. Speaking candidly about her time in the industry, she revealed that it wasn't until her 30s that she finally felt empowered to make her own decisions.
"It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows," Isla confessed. "You didn't really have a choice back then. I don't remember ever feeling like I could weigh in on anything until I got into my 30s." The actress admitted that she often went along with the flow, feeling pressured by industry expectations rather than pursuing her own ambitions.
But it seems those days are behind her now! Isla has come a long way since her modelling days and is now embracing her newfound freedom. "Now I'm like, 'Oh, hang on, I've got some agency'," she chuckled. It's clear that this Aussie star is feeling empowered and ready to take on the world.
This isn't the only drama we're getting from Isla, though! The actress recently spoke out about her high-profile divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen after 14 years of marriage. The couple announced their split in June and have since finalised their divorce, with both parties expressing their commitment to co-parenting their three children.
But it's clear that the road to this point wasn't easy for Isla. In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, she opened up about the "tough" end of her decade-long marriage. "I've had a tough couple of years," she admitted. But despite the ups and downs, Isla is ready to move on and focus on herself once again.
"I'm refocusing on my career, because previously I was very much focused on my kids, which I still am... [They're] my true love. But I'm enjoying tackling work again." And it seems she's got a lot of work lined up! With a string of high-profile projects in the pipeline, we can't wait to see what this talented actress has in store for us.
But Isla's not just about re-focusing on her career – she's also on a mission to rediscover herself outside of her marriage. "I'm trying to remind myself of my new identity as somebody outside of a partnership and to stay as buoyant as possible," she said, determined to come out stronger than ever.
It's clear that Isla Fisher is ready for whatever comes next, whether it's on or off the screen. With her signature wit and sass, this Aussie icon is sure to keep us entertained for years to come!
