Isla Fisher regrets passing up a chance to smooch with Johnny Depp.
The actress — who’s married to comedian Sacha Baron Cohen — says she really wished she had grabbed her chance to kiss her leading man while filming animated movie Rango.
“Although we were only voicing the characters we were encouraged to actually act out scenes,” explains Isla.
“It came to the scene where my character kisses Johnny’s but I ducked out as I a had a really bad cold and I didn’t want him to catch it. Afterward I was like, ‘What was I thinking? It’s Johnny Depp.’
“Maybe I should have just got the kiss and given him the germs.”
Isla recently revealed she tries out her new comedy characters on her husband.
“I definitely can’t help myself from trying out new characters on Sacha,” she said. “I think in all relationships, particularly if you’re in the same field, you end up bringing work home with you. At the same time, you never want your relationship to be just about work.
“Sacha’s the funniest man I know, and that’s on and off camera.
“Even though I studied comedy, I didn’t know I could do it for a living. It felt like too much fun.
“After I did Wedding Crashers, I felt really optimistic about my future, but there weren’t the opportunities I’d imagined to follow such a big commercial movie.
“The roles offered were to play the girlfriend of another comedian. They would get to do the joke, and you’d roll your eyes. I was a little disillusioned and ultimately grew more and more frustrated.”
