London:
Hollywood actress Isla Fisher said her husband, funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen encouraged her to audition for comic roles because she always makes people laugh.
The Confessions of a Shopaholic star, who shot to fame in Australian TV drama series Home and Away, insisted she has always made her friends laugh but only thought of it as a direction for her career when her spouse encouraged her to try for comedies.
"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," said Isla.
The 35-year-old mother of two also insisted she is very choosy about the roles she takes on and is happy not to be a workaholic.
"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," she said.
