When did Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher first meet each other?
Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher's love story began at a party in Sydney, Australia, in 2001, long before either of them achieved fame in Hollywood. Recalling their first meeting in a 2020 interview with The New York Times, Cohen fondly described Fisher as "hilarious" and reminisced about the instant connection they shared.
